Rockin' around the clock, Baby :^O BW)(THEDJ.COM) TheDJ.com Introduces New Version of TheDJ Player; Software for Version 3.0 of TheDJ Player Available for Downloading Business Editors/Technology and Entertainment Writers BURLINGAME, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 3, 1998--TheDJ.com, the premiere provider of music on the Internet, today announced availability of Version 3.0 of TheDJ Player software. TheDJ Player is the free, downloadable application that listeners with Windows 95 and Windows NT can use from their computer desktop to tune in to TheDJ.com's 70 channels of original programmed music, while continuing with other computing tasks. The url for downloading the new software is www.thedj.com/download.html. TheDJ Player's user interface is similar to that of a radio, providing the familiarity and simplicity of a radio-like experience for listening to music. TheDJ Player Version 3.0 combines TheDJ.com's proprietary technology with RealAudio 5.0 technology from RealNetworks. Improvements with Version 3.0 include the enhanced quality of the RealAudio 5.0 software, along with the following new features: -- Artist Information Button. While listening to music, users can click on the Artist Information Button to display additional information about the song being played. -- Three Rows of Preset Buttons. Three rows of drag-and-drop preset buttons are now available to preselect the listener's 30 favorite music channels, for quick access. -- Mini Player. To conserve space on the desktop, users can shrink Version 3.0 of TheDJ Player down to the size of a banner, while still displaying the current channel, song, artist and album. -- Channels Grouped by Genre. To make it easier to locate one's favorite channels, the new version of TheDJ Player groups the channels into eight super-genres, such as Modern Rock, Vintage Rock, Jazz, Lite Sounds and Blues. -- Version 3.0 of TheDJ Player also provides access to several additional channels, including Jungle, Trip-Hop, Alternative Country, Lite Rock, Soundtracks, Top Pop, Soul and Bluegrass. TheDJ.com offers two ways for users to enjoy its rich music content. For Windows 95 and Windows NT users, TheDJ.com offers a desktop application -- TheDJ Player -- based on the RealAudio technology. TheDJ Player allows users to listen to TheDJ.com programming without opening their Internet browser. Internet users on other platforms can use the standard RealPlayer with their Internet browser. TheDJ.com is the premier Internet-exclusive music broadcaster, delivering 70 highly segmented music channels, such as Awesome80s, Modern Rock, Classical, Jazz/Bop and Funk to more than 1.5 million listeners.
