A plurality of acquisition media is stored at each of a plurality of in-room systems. A plurality of access-only media is stored at a single head-end system. Each in-room system has access to each of the access-only media. Access to and acquisition of media are recorded at the head-end system and any associated charges for the access and/or acquisition are determined at the head-end system. A free check-out time prior to being charged for an acquisition of media and a free sample time prior to being charged for access to a media are provided. The acquisition media includes devices for storing audio data, such as CDs, DATs, mini discs and cassettes. The access-only media comprises audio data stored on a CD and/or an audio card have memory. The acquisition media may also include devices for storing audio/video data while the access-only media comprises audio/video data.
[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A method of providing media to a plurality of in-room systems from a head-end system remote from the plurality of in-room systems, said method comprising the steps of:storing a plurality of acquisition media at each of the in-room systems each of the acquisition media having stored thereon, at least one of audio and video data;storing a plurality of access-only media at the head-end system, the access-only media comprising at least one of audio and video data identical to that stored on the acquisition media;at each in-room system, providing access to each of the access-only media, such that the access-only media is played by the head-end system and is at least one of audibly and visually presented at the in-room system to assist an in-room system user in media acquisition choices;at the in-room system, sensing the removal of one of the acquisition media;upon sensing the removal of one of the acquisition media, activating a check-out timer and storing an acquisition signal encoded with a room identifier and a media acquisition identifier at the in-room system;monitoring the in-room system for the return of the removed acquisition media; andif the media is not returned within the check-out time allotted, transmitting the acquisition signal to the head-end system and processing the acquisition signal to determine any charge associated with the acquisition.
