A multi-player audio game system and game console enables players to
compete against each other based on music that is contained in their own
personal music player devices. The game console has multiple ports to
allow the players to plug their audio player devices into the game
console. In response to pressing a Next button to advance the game, the
console displays a music question or challenge selected from questions
stored in memory. Upon seeing the challenge displayed, the players
compete to be the first to submit a music entry (by playing their entry
and pressing the respective Enter button on the console) that meets the
challenge from among the songs stored on their audio player devices. The
console has an audio signal queuing mechanism to allow the first-in-time
player's song input to be played on a speaker while muting the other
players' song inputs. If the first-in-time player's entry is deemed
incorrect by the other players, the player's Enter button can be pressed
a second time to mute that player's song input and allow the next-in-time
player's song input to be played, and so on until a winner is found.
