A system for playing performances recorded on disc, tape and records includes video display terminals with touch panel control for audience selection of particular performances to be played. The terminals display not only lists of performances but also the graphics and text on the album covers or disc jackets to enhance the selection process. A computer controller controls the apparatus that stores the recordings, selects, manipulates and plays the various performances selected at the terminals. The controller makes up the playlist based on the popularity of each performance as indicated by choices registered at the terminals, with a preset time interval delay before any performance can be repeated. When not used for selecting, the terminals may display advertisements, games and the like.
