<<Through an exclusive agreement with Lucent Technologies, ClickRadio uses the patented ePAC (Enhanced Perceptual Audio Coding) compression system to deliver the highest quality sound while protecting artists' rights. Are there different degrees of exclusive? mode.net claims to use ePAC also. I don't believe an Exclusive Agreements is in the best interest of EDIG unless these parties are ranked as number one, two, or three in the area of providing downloadable music. I believe, for the benefit of EDIG, as many download sites as possible should have access to ePAC in order to encourage as many people as possible to buy an ePAC portable digital music player.

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: To: Dave Swanson who wrote (12109) From: Walter Morton Friday, Apr 7, 2000 11:30 AM ET Reply # of 12387 <<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.
