Method and System for Distributing and Playing Media

A method for distributing and playing media is implemented by a server coupled to a plurality of media-playing devices disposed at respective locations, and capable of communicating with a customer-side electronic device. The customer-side electronic device is able to transmit to the server a media file and a reservation message. In the method, in response to receipt of a confirmation message, the server creates a media playing schedule according to the reservation message, transmits the media file to one of the media-playing devices indicated by the media playing schedule, and controls the one of the media-playing devices to play the media file in a time slot on a date according to the media playing schedule. The method can simplify manpower and time for loading media files into the playing device, and the media-playing device can be rapidly promoted among general people, so that the contents of media files are more diversified.
