MediaShifter Partners with MF Digital to Provide New Zealand with the Largest DVD and CD Ripping Service

Today, MediaShifter announces their partnership with MF Digital providing New Zealand with the largest CD and DVD Ripping Service available for audio and video installers.

(PRWEB) January 30, 2008 -- Today, MediaShifter announces their partnership with MF Digital to provide New Zealand with the largest DVD and CD Ripping Service available for audio and video installers.

High-end multimedia installations require the best in audio and video technology and along with this technology comes the need for ease of access to digital content. With some clients having an excess of 4,000 CDs and DVDs in their collection, making the data migration to state-of-the-art multimedia systems can be difficult and time consuming.

"MediaShifter partnered with MF Digital because the RipStation CD and DVD Ripping software offers a variety of configuration settings to fully control the metadata information going to these multimedia systems. After all, music must sound good and look good." Says Stephen Plan, CEO.

"During the establishment phase, MF Digital worked closely with MediaShifter as they are the only licensed CD ripping service in New Zealand to format-shift music and video onto music servers, it was critical the metadata is accurate and consistent, a feature RipStation excels at," reports John McGrath, sales manager. Other contributing factors for MediaShifter include the factory-floor feel of RipStation robotics and superior pick-and-place pick rate of various media types.

"The key attribute to MediaShifter's success is the backbone equipment and it's ability to process jobs without human intervention. Without the automation of RipStation to format-shift audio and video to our multimedia installations, our only alternative was a manual process - a process to slow and expensive for our business model to succeed. MF Digital is a partner with our organization and a key component to our overall solution." concludes Plank.
