Minneapolis, MN (June 10, 2008): MusicGiants, the leading
distributor of HD entertainment, and J. River, the leading
independent provider of media player software, have partnered to
deliver their products to a worldwide network of independent digital
service providers. The two companies are combining technology to
provide compelling solutions for the next stage of digital media
delivery.
Jim Hillegass, CEO of J. River, said, "We believe that a strong,
open, and independent network of digital media companies will be a
welcome alternative to proprietary solutions from Apple and
Microsoft."
The first implementation of this new approach is a new player and
service, using the MediaNet music subscription service to provide
non-stop, unlimited playback of WMA content streams, with a built-in
option to purchase a hi-def download from the MusicGiants' store or
a CD.
"By including our HD Media Store inside the J. River player,
millions of digital media customers will have the opportunity to
purchase music that sounds exactly the way the artists intended it
to be heard - in full resolution," says Scott Bahneman, CEO of
MusicGiants.
