CLEARWATER, Fla./ February 13, 2002-- Universal Music Group Television UK has climbed to #2 on the charts with the debut of a Mixable CD Clubmix 2002, a new interactive format that lets listeners edit and rearrange their CDs tracks to create custom music remixes on home PCs.
This added PCDJ feature has pushed the release to #2 in the charts. " Its all about value and PCDJ as a stand-alone is a $29.00 product," states Joe Vangieri CEO of Visiosonic. Visiosonic PCDJ has had 5 million downloads with over 2 million active users. Being the DJ is proving quite successful for Universal Music Group UK.
The new Mixable CDs, developed by DJ software maker Visiosonic (www.pcdj.com), will play normally in conventional CD players -- but listeners preferring a more hands-on audio experience can slide the mix-it-yourself disc into their computers CD ROM drive. Click a button on the CDs Flash menu to install Visiosonics PCDJ digital music player/mixer, and gain access to dozens of tracks, which can be mixed to taste using the controls on the PCDJ player. The Mixable CD format allows total listener participation," said Visiosonics CEO, Joe Vangieri. Re-mixing songs, changing their tempos, and experimenting with different combinations is a creative, exhilarating way for fans to experience their favorite artists and music." Vangieri said that the cost of adding mixability" to CDs would not be passed on to retail consumers. Its a free enhancement," said Vangieri. The idea is to provide music fans with added value -- and a whole lot of fun." MP3 format digital audio files bundled on Mixable CDs are encrypted, and can only be played with Visiosonics Silver, Blue, and Red PCDJ digital music players.
