Audiophiles of the World Unite!

Audiophiles of the World Unite! www.bluebeat.com SANTA CRUZ, Calif., Dec. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Once upon a time, the crackling radio was the primary source of home entertainment, drawing friends and families closer as they learned of the exciting outside world from their very own living rooms. Generations later, BlueBeat.com revives the home radio experience with an essential modern twist: perfect digital sound. Although online radio has existed for years, it has been streamed with the disturbingly low quality of 64-96kbps average. BlueBeat.com streams its superior selections at 320kbps, producing a spectacular, crystal-clear sound when broadcast through quality computer speakers or a home stereo. Millions of Americans sear through the Internet at DSL and cable speeds, and BlueBeat.com can satisfy their craving for high fidelity online radio. One might ask, "If this music is so perfect, then why wouldn't the public just steal all that BlueBeat.com has to offer, creating further havoc in the CD distribution industries?" Hank Risan, CEO and founder of BlueBeat.com's parent company Media Rights Technologies, is way ahead of the game; he has perfected a landmark technology which ensures the secure online broadcast of any type content, and BlueBeat.com is his proof of concept. "Instead of empowering the consumer, the explosion of digital music has produced a mediocre musical experience for the listener with most services providing slow delivery and sub-CD quality sound," explains Risan, who among other things is a music historian, mathematician and cryptologist. "Music fans who want to absolutely stuff their 20G iPod with as much legal 96kbps music as it can hold would need to shell out approximately $6,000 to $10,000, practically forcing the average listener to obtain files that are not legally licensed. Alternatively, BlueBeat.com gives any listener with a PC and a broadband connection a chance to explore almost limitless music programs on over 340 channels with perfect sound and delivery -- a high fidelity haven, and all free of charge to the user." Audiophiles are noticing. BlueBeat.com expects 1,000,000 users by spring of 2005. It's free to join, free to listen, educational, and broadcasts a vast selection at high fidelity; what's not to love?
