Payment-based audiovisual playback system characterized by comprising a microprocessor device associated with a payment device primarily including means for storing, inter alia, in digital format the visual and sound information to be used. The system is associated through interfaces with display means and sound playback means for providing a multimedia environment. The system is controlled by a multitask operating system including a tool and service library integrated into the storage means. The system, which is also associated through an interface with a telecommunications modem, is optionally connected to an audiovisual data distribution network by a telecommunications modem and telecommunications links, said telecommunications function also being controlled by said multitask operating system.

The invention claimed is: 1. A jukebox system, comprising: a jukebox device including a microprocessor, a mass memory that digitally stores audiovisual items that may be played on the jukebox device in response to requests by a user, a display for displaying video, an audio arrangement providing audio, a communication system connected to an audiovisual distribution server for enabling the jukebox device to communicate with said audiovisual distribution server for at least the digital distribution of digital data containing said audiovisual items, and a multitasking operating system that enables simultaneous operation of the microprocessor, the display, the audio arrangement and the communication system to operate in a user mode and/or in a manager mode; wherein said jukebox device is operable to download, to said mass memory, said digitally distributed data containing audiovisual items; wherein said jukebox device is provided with a registration mode, operating in manager mode, wherein the jukebox device is operable to perform system registration functions and is inoperable to play audiovisual items stored in the jukebox device, and a service mode wherein the jukebox device is operable to play said audiovisual items stored digitally on the mass memory storage upon selection by the user, said service mode being disabled when said jukebox device is in said registration mode and a server remote to said jukebox device that can be accessed by said jukebox device through said distribution network and is operable to register said jukebox device in registration mode, by performing a registration process while in communication with said jukebox device, said registration process resulting in said disabled service mode being enabled so that said audiovisual items can be played on said jukebox device after registration and so that user and/or manager modes become operational; wherein said jukebox device is designed to operate only in said registration mode when said jukebox device has not been registered by said server; and said service mode including standalone operation of the jukebox device, wherein said jukebox device is further provided with a management mode, said management mode providing an interface comprising management functions and including at least a display of usage statistics including a count of uses of any particular title choice to guide an owner in the selection of songs stored on the mass memory for retention or deletion. 2. The system of claim 1, and further wherein said jukebox device is configured such that said registration by said server is only valid for a predetermined period of time. 3. The system of claim 2, wherein said jukebox device is operable to automatically attempt a new registration process with said server prior to an expiration of said predetermined period of time. 4. The system of claim 3, wherein said jukebox device is operable to exit said service mode and enter said registration mode if said new registration process does not result in said jukebox device being re-registered by said server. 5. The system of claim 1, wherein said audiovisual distribution network operates as a digital distribution system for said jukebox device, wherein said jukebox device is operable to digitally request audiovisual items. 6. The system of claim 1, further including a plurality of said audiovisual jukebox devices, each being configured to independently seek registration from said server for operation in said service mode. 7. The system of claim 1, wherein said jukebox device is operable such that said registration is only valid for a predetermined period of time, and causing said jukebox device to exit said service mode and enter said registration mode upon expiration of said predetermined period of time. 8. The system of claim 1, wherein said storage means stores a catalog of titles relating to available audiovisual item with corresponding fees, selection of a title automatically entailing internal processing which totals sums relative to the chosen title.
