<<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.

Music Week - 8th April 2000 - E-Distribution -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mode International [http://www.mode.net] has spent the past few months [years would be closer to the truth and the web site is still useless]developing a complete digital content management and DRM model, waving the European flag in a market dominated by powerful US players. Mode managing director Iain Clark describes his system as having been designed as a complete proprietary application. It is based on Broadvision personalisation technology, Sun servers and Oracle databases to deal with the complete supply chain, rather than addressing segments or reselling outside technology. Interestingly, the Mode model has been designed to deal with Lucent Technologies' ePak audio Codec, rather than the popular established MP3. "Our view is that ePak is superior to anything else on the market right now," says Clark, although he claims the system, will ultimately support whichever of the available formats becomes an industry standard. Mode has offices in London and Oslo and hopes to announce a series of major deals over the next month. Clark is confident a system based on the experience of the complexities of distribution in the European market will have no problems securing market share, despite the fact that Mode is a relative latecomer. "We have had quite a lot of interest from US content owners who see access to Mode as access to the European market," he says. "As the majors gradually began to wake up to the MP3 wave last year, the initial reaction was to make all decisions in the US. We now sense an increasing awareness of the need for local technology solutions to meet the different needs of local repertoire." Source: mode.net
