SMC Teams with Get Digital to Offer Free Music Conversion to Its Wireless Audio Adapter Users

Customers receive free processing of 25 CDs with EZ-Stream™ 11Mbps Wireless Audio Adapter

IRVINE, CA – February 23, 2004 – SMC Networks ( www.smc.com ), leading provider of networking solutions for the SMB/e, the ISP and all the way home, today announced that it is partnering with Get Digital, the premier provider of ripping and data tagging services, to offer free CD conversion processing to customers of its EZ-Stream 2.4GHz 11Mbps Wireless Audio Adapter, SMCWAA-B. Customers purchasing the EZ-Stream Wireless Audio Adapter will receive free processing of 25 CDs on Get Digital processing orders of 75 or more CDs.

“This offer aligns perfectly with our goal of making home entertainment networking easy,” said Chris Alexis, product manager for SMC Networks. “The Get Digital service takes the tedium out of converting CD collections into the MP3 or WMA format that's easily stored on a computer for streaming throughout the house with the EZ-Stream Wireless Audio Adapter.”

The Get Digital service provides a fast, cost-effective solution for converting CD collections to computer file formats such as MP3, WMA and more. With prices ranging from $0.99 per CD to $1.99, based on volume, the Get Digital service provides a permanent archive of a CD collection on DVD, accompanied by a printed index of the entire collection.

The EZ-Stream 11 Mbps Wireless Audio Adapter makes it easy to distribute the newly encoded CD collection —without wires. UPnP compliant and easy to set-up on an 802.11b or 802.11g wireless network, the EZ-Stream Wireless Audio Adapter gives users the freedom to play all of the MP3, M3U and WMA music stored on a PC in any—or every—room in the house. Providing simple, secure access to premium music sources, the SMCWAA-B is the most complete wireless audio solution on the market today. Ahead of the rest in ease-of-use as well, the EZ-Stream Wireless Audio Adapter is simple to connect on the PC side, and its intuitive remote control makes control on the receiving side simple too via a large matrix LCD display that makes it easy to read device status, configuration information and song titles.

As easy to install as it is to use, the SMCWAA-B has user-friendly remote control and connects to any stereo system via standard audio cables. Easy to install Musicmatch® software on the PC sets it up to manage, create and transmit audio files to the stereo system via the wireless audio server, and support for the UPnP protocol makes it possible to set up multiple audio servers on a single network, so every room in the house can receive its own streamed music.

“Get Digital's high-speed encoding service and proprietary database allows SMC customers to make a fast and accurate conversion to MP3. This partnership is ideal for anyone interested in taking advantage of the convenience of MP3, since the Get Digital service eliminates the painstaking efforts of organizing, re-naming, and re-arranging their files once they've been converted to MP3, while the SMC Wireless Audio Adapter will allow users to manage and enjoy their collection anywhere in their home.” The SMCWAA-B EZ-Stream 2.4GHz 11Mbps Wireless Audio Adapter is available through select retail outlets and resellers at an MSRP of $129.99.
