Seattle and Mountain View, California (ots/PRNewswire)

- MPEG-4 aacPlus Provides High Quality Cross-Platform Support for
PCs and Mobile Phones
Loudeye Corp. (Nasdaq: LOUD), a worldwide leader in
business-to-business digital media solutions, and Coding Technologies
announced today that Loudeye is deploying Coding Technologies MPEG-4
aacPlus audio format into its mobile music platform as an option for
operators worldwide. By adding support for the high quality aacPlus
audio format and OMA 2.0 digital rights management on PCs and mobile
phones, the Loudeye mobile music platform will support an even wider
number of mobile phones and devices.
Through a strategic collaboration with Nokia, the Loudeye mobile
music platform will enable operators to launch music experiences for
their consumers under the operator's brand. By licensing the aacPlus
audio format from Coding Technologies, Loudeye helps operators offer
their consumers access to music on both the handset and the PC.
"Our goal is to enable operators to deploy a mobile music service
platform that can build incremental revenue and allow them to enhance
branding throughout the entire music process," said Jonas Geust, vice
president, Music, Nokia. "By working closely with Loudeye and
leveraging Coding Technologies aacPlus, we can offer a dynamic
service with the best technologies -- helping operators deliver
compelling consumer music experiences."
Loudeye's mobile music platform is designed to allow users to
browse, search, listen, and download either to the device or the
user's PC, full length songs and RingTunes (MasterTones) using an
operator branded music application on their mobile device. Customers
can also use their personal computer and an operator customized PC
client based on Microsoft Windows Media Player to access the music
shop via the Internet. Additionally, users can synchronize their PC
music collection with their mobile device.
"We are committed to ensuring our partners have access to a wide
range of technologies and audio formats available for their consumer
solutions," said David Hostetter, vice president of program
management, Loudeye Corp. "The addition of aacPlus represents our
commitment to integrating efficient formats into Loudeye's music
platform so partners can ship cost effective solutions that meet the
rising consumer demands."
"A unified experience is key across both mobile and PCs," said
David Frerichs, vice president and US general manager, Coding
Technologies. "By adding aacPlus and OMA 2.0 to a customized version
of Windows Media Player, Nokia and Loudeye have ensured that
customers can enjoy the same tracks at the same quality at work, at
home, and on the go."
