SYDNEY, Australia, May 15, 2008 - The Shooting Star
Picture Company's D-STAR division is pleased to announce the start of
trials of PLAY MPE™, the new generation of B2B music delivery in
Australia.
PLAY MPE™ is already the #1 digital
delivery platform in North America and commences trials this week with
content from both major and independent labels from around the country.
"We have had much success in the last few years with our D-STAR Video
product and the time was right to launch a new generation product to
revolutionize the delivery of audio from Record Labels to their
numerous media partners," said CEO Peter Skillman.
"In a world where around 80% of singles are being bought digitally by
the public, it makes no sense to still have CDs floating around
Australia Post vans in jiffy bags on their way to media. For the first
time, D-STAR's PLAY MPE ™ provides radio stations with a
technologically advanced, simple, reliable and secure platform to
obtain music in the formats they require."
The trial of PLAY MPE ™ will initially concentrate on radio, with plans
to expand to other media later in 2008. The company is currently
allocating logins for the system to music programmers around Australia
as part of their trial phase of the system. If you would like to learn
