1. A method for enabling access to media content, the method comprising: receiving, by a media content player, a request to access particular media content;receiving, by the media content player, a visual representation of an out-of-band token that both specifies (i) the particular media content and
1. A method for enabling access to media content, the method comprising: receiving, by a media content player, a request to access particular media content;receiving, by the media content player, a visual representation of an out-of-band token that both specifies (i) the particular media content and (ii) media content access rights to the particular media content and resides in a different format than a medium used to store the particular media content, where receiving the visual representation of the out-of-band token includes receiving the visual representation of the out-of-band token from an image detector, where receiving the visual representation of the out-of-band token from the image detector includes determining optical values at selected locations in the out-of-band token;determining, by the media content player, media content access rights to the particular media content from the visual representation of the out-of-band token that specifies (i) the particular media content and (ii) media content access rights to the particular media content;determining, by the media content player, whether the media content access rights to the particular media content determined from the visual representation of the out-of-band token specify that access to the particular media content is permitted; andin response to determining that the media content access rights to the particular media content determined from the visual representation of the out-of-band token specify that access to the particular media content is permitted, enabling, by the media content player, access to the particular media content through the media player. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the out-of-band token is a passive out-of-band token that is not required to be electronically interrogated. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the out-of-bank token is received from a content media provider as part of a promotional document. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the out-of-band token is printed. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the out-of-band token includes a hologram. 6. The method of claim 1 comprising: detecting the out-of-band token is placed before an image detector,wherein receiving the visual representation of the out-of-band token from an image detector is in response to detecting the out-of-band token is placed before the image detector. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the selected locations are randomly selected locations from within the out-of-band token. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the selected locations are identified by a master location in the out-of-band token. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein enabling access to the particular media content includes specifying a number of times the media content may be accessed. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein the out-of-band token resides on more than one surface. 11. The method of claim 1, further comprising registering the out-of-band token with a host. 12. The method of claim 11, further comprising modifying the determined media content access right to provide additional access to the particular media content upon registering the out-of-band token with the host. 13. The method of claim 1, wherein receiving, by a media content player, a request to access particular media content, comprises: receiving a request to access media content from a remote media content provider. 14. The method of claim 1, wherein receiving, by a media content player, a request to access particular media content, comprises: receiving a request to access media content stored on the media player. 15. The method of claim 1, wherein the visual representation of the out-of-band token comprises an image of the out-of-band token. 16. A system comprising: one or more computers and one or more storage devices storing instructions that are operable, when executed by the one or more computers, to cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising:receiving, by a media content player, a request to access particular media content;receiving, by the media content player, a visual representation of an out-of-band token that both specifies (i) the particular media content and (ii) media content access rights to the particular media content and resides in a different format than a medium used to store the particular media content, where receiving the visual representation of the out-of-band token includes receiving the visual representation of the out-of-band token from an image detector, where receiving the visual representation of the out-of-band token from the image detector includes determining optical values at selected locations in the out-of-band token;determining, by the media content player, media content access rights to the particular media content from the visual representation of the out-of-band token that specifies (i) the particular media content and (ii) media content access rights to the particular media content;determining, by the media content player, whether the media content access rights to the particular media content determined from the visual representation of the out-of-band token specify that access to the particular media content is permitted; andin response to determining that the media content access rights to the particular media content determined from the visual representation of the out-of-band token specify that access to the particular media content is permitted, enabling, by the media content player, access to the particular media content through the media player. 17. The system of claim 16, wherein the out-of-band token is a passive out-of-band token that is not required to be electronically interrogated. 18. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing software comprising instructions executable by one or more computers which, upon such execution, cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising: receiving, by a media content player, a request to access particular media content;receiving, by the media content player, a visual representation of an out-of-band token that both specifies (i) the particular media content and (ii) media content access rights to the particular media content and resides in a different format than a medium used to store the particular media content, where receiving the visual representation of the out-of-band token includes receiving the visual representation of the out-of-band token from an image detector, where receiving the visual representation of the out-of-band token from the image detector includes determining optical values at selected locations in the out-of-band token;determining, by the media content player, media content access rights to the particular media content from the visual representation of the out-of-band token that specifies (i) the particular media content and (ii) media content access rights to the particular media content;determining, by the media content player, whether the media content access rights to the particular media content determined from the visual representation of the out-of-band token specify that access to the particular media content is permitted; andin response to determining that the media content access rights to the particular media content determined from the visual representation of the out-of-band token specify that access to the particular media content is permitted, enabling, by the media content player, access to the particular media content through the media player.
