MF Digital and Ripfactory to Demonstrate Ripstation Technology at Denver CEDIA Expo Show, September 4-7, 2008

East Farmingdale, NY (PRWEB) August 2, 2008

Sponsored by the Custom Electronic Design and Installation Association, the CEDIA Expo Show will be the venue for MF Digital's latest Automated Disc Ripping Technology Solutions. Together with its UK-based technology partner Ripfactory, MF Digital will be exhibiting at the CEDIA Show on September 4th through September 7th, 2008.

The two companies will be at booth #1039 for live demonstrations of this exciting and groundbreaking digital music technology. Ripfactory and MF Digital representatives will both be on hand to answer your questions, demonstrate hardware, and discuss any CD or DVD ripping needs you might have.

MF Digital will be demonstrating the Ripstation 7000 Series System which provides a powerful and automated digital music conversion solution. With this system you can easily convert a complete audio CD collection with metadata management features and configuration tools to control the exact CD ripping quality. In addition, the Ripstation will encode multiple file formats - even simultaneously. All metadata or tag information, including album art, is retrieved from your choice of up to three on-line databases. Add to the mix our Media Grabber video ripping option and the Ripstation 7000 provides the ideal solution for automated CD and DVD ripping.

Advanced features include full Codec support on CD ripping to MP3, FLAC, WAV, WMA, AAC and WMA lossless audio file formats. To ensure music information content is consistent and accurate, the metadata tag information is pulled from a variety of database resources, such as: GD3, FreeDB, AMG, and Amazon. Loading your iPod, MP3 player or media server has never been easier with the MF Digital Ripstation. Using advanced features like direct-to-device support you can upload automatically to MP3 manufacturers such as the Apple iPod, Creative, SanDisk, Nokia and others.

MF Digital will also be showcasing the new Ripserver product from Ripfactory. Ripserver is a world first - a NAS (networked attached storage device) with a built in CD ripping engine.

With storage capabilities of up to 1 Terabyte (10,000 albums in MP3 format), Ripserver has taken the world of digital music by storm and industry experts have described it as 'a must-have for every digital home'. Compatible with any media player which can browse a network share, Ripserver is the ideal companion to systems such as Sonos, Logitech, Linn DS, Slim Devices, Xbox and many more.

More Logitech I Press Releases

bliss Adds Album Art Management to its Automatic Digital Music Organizer

(PRWEB) August 18, 2010

bliss, the automatic music organizer for Windows and Linux, has introduced a facility to add album art to mp3s, or manage existing album cover art. bliss helps music lovers take control of their large digital music collections by following a rule-based approach to digital music management. This makes mp3 management easier, faster and more accurate.

bliss can be downloaded and trialled for free at http://www.blisshq.com/. The first 500 fixed albums are free. New features are rolled out each week in a brand new release.

bliss is aimed at music lovers and audiophiles with large digital music collections, often stored on a home server or NAS. bliss is an automatic music organizer that takes a rule-based approach to simplify mp3 organization. The music lover states the rules that their collection must comply with, and bliss automates the actions required to comply with the rules. For album art, this means assessing the size of the art, whether the art is embedded and more.

The benefits of this approach are:

???? Less manual work. bliss finds and adds album art to comply with the album art rule, automatically.
???? Unerring. bliss works meticulously to comply with the user?s album art rule. It doesn?t get tired, or bored, unlike humans.
???? More maintainable. bliss works in the background and is designed to be run non-stop on a home server.
???? Faster. bliss works automatically whenever music is added to a collection.

A number of music lovers have been enjoying the extra control over their music library that bliss brings:

I think it's amazing. I'd spent ages making sure I had album art attached to all my files, but when I bought a Logitech Squeezebox it didn't pick up any of the album art I'd painstakingly put together. Bliss sorted that out, very easily, very cleverly and for a very reasonable cost. One of my favourite pieces of software, it deserves to be much better known.

New rules, such as file and folder organization, automatic tagging and genre classification rules are expected in the future.
