1. A method for wirelessly delivering one or more digital audio andor visual files from one or more servers to one or more cell phones comprising:
storing a library of compressed digital audio andor visual files on one or more servers;
providing to a cell phone a representation of at least a portion of the library of compressed digital audio andor visual files;
receiving a request from the cell phone for at least one of the compressed digital audio andor visual files stored on the one or more servers,
providing the one or more requested compressed digital audio andor visual files to the cell phone and wherein the cell phone comprises a receiver and one or more processors including a digital signal processor and is configured for receiving and processing files transmitted by orthogonal frequency-division multiplex modulation;
tracking the selection of the requested compressed digital audio andor visual files.
2. The method of claim 1, further comprising storing the one or more compressed digital audio andor visual files on the cell phone.
3. The method of claim 1, further comprising playing back the one or more of said compressed digital audio andor visual files selected by the user on the cell phone.
4. The method of claim 3, further comprising providing said compressed digital audio andor visual file as an alert message or ringtone for the cell phone to signify the occurrence of a specific event.
5. The method of claim 1, wherein said compressed digital audio andor visual file is a personal recording or video recorded by a user of the cell phone.
6. The method of claim 1, further comprising charging a fee, to the user wherein said fee is based on the number of compressed digital audio andor visual files received by the cell phone for playback thereon or the duration of playback of said compressed digital audio andor visual files.
7. The method of claim 1, wherein said compression algorithm is MP3.
8. The method of claim 1, wherein said files comprise pushed advertising content.
9. The method of claim 1 wherein the tracking is for reporting for royalty determination.
10. The method of claim 9 wherein the reporting of the selection is to a performing rights organization.
11. The method of claim 9 wherein the reporting of the selection is to a copyright owner.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.

a) a pair of side members for making contact with a portion of a vehicle frame at one end and being secured to said structural system at the other end; and
b) a center brace portion being secured to one of said pair of side members at one end and to the other one of said pair of side members at the other end.
2. The structural member as in claim 1, further comprising a structural beam attached to said pair of side members and providing an area for securing said structural member to said structural system.
3. The structural member as in claim 1, wherein said structural system includes a cross car structural beam providing a second structural load path, said structural member being secured to said cross car structural beam at a point intermediate to a driver side compartment and a passenger side compartment of said vehicle.
4. The structural member as in claim 2, wherein said vehicle structural system also includes a steering column support structure, said steering column support structure being secured to said cross car structural beam and providing a third structural load path.
5. The structural member as in claim 4, wherein said portion of a vehicle frame is a vehicle interior floor.
6. The structural member as in claim 2, further comprising a stud plate having a plurality of studs extending therefrom, said stud plate securing said structural member to said structural system.
7. The structural member as in claim 6, wherein said plurality of studs pass through a plurality of openings in said structural member and said vehicle structural system.
8. The structural member as in claim 1, wherein said side members each have an installation flange providing integral installations of vehicle interior components.
9. The structural member as in claim 4, wherein said steering column support structure provides a third structural load path to an engine compartment wall of said vehicle.
10. A structural brace for providing a structural load path in a vehicle, comprising:
a) a pair of structural members for making contact with a portion of a vehicle frame at one end and being secured to a vehicle structural system at the other end;
b) a center brace portion being secured to one of said pair of structural members at one end and to the other one of said pair of structural members at the other end;
c) a structural beam attached to said pair of side members, said structural beam providing an area for securing said structural brace to a cross car structural beam of said vehicle.
11. The structural brace as in claim 10, wherein said structural brace is integrally molded into said cross car structural beam.
12. The structural brace as in claim 10, wherein said structural brace is welded to said cross car structural beam.
