(Carlsbad, CA – June 7, 2004) – Digital Mind Corporation (DMC) today announced that it has teamed with Red Chair Software, Inc. to develop the newly released Cyclef Explorer software for the acclaimed line of DMC Xclef portable music players. Cyclef Explorer is available for the current DMC Xclef 500 line, as well as new, upcoming models. DMC Xclef products -- the only music players manufactured in the United States -- will come bundled with the trial version of Cyclef Explorer. A complete description of Cyclef Explorer’s features can be viewed at www.redchairsoftware.com/cyclef/.
“We are pleased to partner with Digital Mind to extend our music software platform to the DMC Xclef line of players,” said “Red” Chair, of Red Chair Software. “Our platform brings a uniquely powerful yet easy-to-use feature set to each player we support. Cyclef Explorer is no exception, leveraging the impressive hardware capabilities of the DMC Xclef to create a superior integrated music experience.” Cyclef Explorer includes complete library management and transfer capabilities, advanced playlist management, PDA-like functionality with Outlook synchronization, sophisticated search and reporting, and much more. Red Chair Software’s platform already supports the Apple iPod as well as music players from Creative Labs, Dell, Rio Audio, and iRiver.
“We are very excited to be able to add the expanded functionality of Cyclef Explorer to our DMC Xclef product line. The DMC Xclef 500 is one of the most sophisticated, full featured portable storage/music players available anywhere,” said Jim Collier, Digital Mind’s President and CEO. “Its massive 40GB and 80GB storage, 20+ hour battery life, studio quality direct encoding, voice recording, FM Radio (and record from FM), PC and Mac compatibility without special software, and world class quality make this the “must have” device for tech savvy users. With 80GB of storage, the DMC Xclef 500 is the “King Kong” of portable music players. It is capable of storing up to 20,000 music files, or can be used to backup the entire hard drive on a laptop computer. Since it is recognized as a USB mass storage device, files can be moved easily between PC’s and Mac’s. Its intuitive user interface allows the user to start navigating through files and playlists almost immediately. We are also very proud that it is the only portable music player manufactured and fully supported in the United States.”
