bob, the other significance of this news is that, through ClickRadio, LU has extended the reach of ePAC to another one of the major music content providers (Universal Music). Up until now, ePAC was only mentioned with EMI and Warner:

<<As of now, it seems that Lucent's EPAC might not be used by any of the majors.>>
Dave, you are forgetting about EPAC/EMI connection. Follow the dots:
The combined solution enables music labels to encode their releases with ePAC, the highest-quality audio coder in the industry, and ensure secure distribution to Internet listeners. The Preview Systems proprietary solution incorporates the tamper-resistant Intel Software Integrity System(TM), which bundles ePAC for audio encoding applications.
Preview Systems is the recommended technology provider for EMI Recorded Music, one of the world's largest recorded music publishers. Message 12656643
Preview Systems, Inc., developer of a software tool for commercial distribution of digital products like music and software, uses the Intel system. Preview Systems recently sold a stake in its operations to EMI Recorded Music, the Big Five record label that today announced it will form a joint venture with AOL Time Warner's Warner Music Group, effectively reducing the industry to the Big Four.
