The jukebox system of claim 14, wherein the second subset of media is searched by the jukebox device. 16. The jukebox device of claim 14, wherein the first and second subsets of media are searched by the jukebox device. 17. The jukebox system of claim 14, wherein the search results are selectable by the user in order to initiate playback of the selected search result by the jukebox device for the second fee or number of credits. 18. The jukebox system of claim 10, wherein a user interface element is provided to prompt a user to supply an additional fee or number of credits in order to make the selected instance of media play immediately after a currently playing instance of media. 19. The jukebox device of claim 10, wherein the first and second display screens are arranged differently and include different search options. 20. The jukebox system of claim 1, further comprising a central server storing a master catalog of instances of media available for playback via the jukebox device, wherein the server is different from the central server. 21.
