InStore Audio Network

InStore Audio Network (also known as ISAN) is a retail media provider of narrowcast in-store music, in-store video content and audio advertising for delivery within supermarkets and drugstores.[1] InStore Audio Network's music programming is housed locally on a music server at each location, containing the music library, audio messages and ISAN's proprietary scheduling and delivery software.[2] This software enables each server to receive new audio ads and music playlists as often as necessary, transferred over the Internet.[3] The playlists dictate what will be played during the following week in that particular store so that every retail store can be customized with its own music and/or audio messages.[4][5] InStore Audio Network works with America's premier retailers to use audio (both music and messaging) for branding and marketing purposes in the shopping environment.

gollark: You could also download something like my multicast-based chat program and cheat that way.
gollark: However, as it turns out, they "block internet access" just by denying access to browsers, and you can still use anything else they have for that (which isn't much). Including, say, using Python's urllib to access web things™. Which is quite impractical, but in theory, if I felt cheaty, I could use that to download a less impractical program to browse things.
gollark: Now, they aren't entirely stupid so you get a separate temporary account without your usual files and whatever to work on for the duration.
gollark: Part of them is done on actual computers, as they are slightly modern.
gollark: That reminds me of the excellent security of my school's computer science exams.
