1. A system for providing digital media files over a cellular network to a user operating a cellular phone, the system comprising:
- a content server operably coupled to the cellular network and configured to store a plurality of digital media files and provide for the transmission of the digital media files over the cellular network by orthogonal frequency-division multiplex modulation to the cellular phone;
said cellular phone including a digital signal processor and a receiver configured to request the digital media file from the content server and receive the transmission of the digital media files by orthogonal frequency-division multiplex modulation; and
a monitoring server operably coupled to the content server and configured to record data about every digital media file downloaded from the content server to the cellular phone, wherein the monitor server provides rights management data for determination of royalty payments based on the requested digital media file.
