Abstract

A system and a method for relaying an electronic music file, and a program recording medium thereof are provided to promote electronic disks by authenticating electronic disk media in an end-to-end authentication mode, and converting a different DRM type into a compatible DRM type if the electronic disk is provided to the electronic disk medium applying the different DRM type. An information receiver(125) receives exchanged electronic music file information and exchange requestor information from an exchange requestor terminal. An information checker(115) checks a file attribute and the DRM type applied to the exchange electronic music file. An electronic music files relay receives player information for playing the exchanged electronic music file from the requestor terminal, converts the file attribute and the DRM type applied to the exchanged electronic music file into the file attribute and the DRM type corresponding to the player based on the received player information, and transmits the converted electronic music file to the requestor terminal. An information authenticator authenticates the exchanged electronic music file and/or the exchange requestor.
