GenAudio Celebrates With 10 Million Free Music Downloads

Friday January 16, 2009

GenAudio Inc., the makers of AstoundStereo™, is celebrating the launch of its AstoundStereo Expander software by offering 10 million free music downloads (up to 2 free tracks per person). AstoundStereo ExpanderArtists such as Public Enemy and Kan’Nal are involved with the promotion of GenAudio's new baby, with digital music marketing company, Hip Digital Media, providing the digital music distribution. The software is currently available for Mac and PC platforms, and boasts 4D sound localization cue technology for sound systems that have as little as 2 audio channels (2 speakers, headphones, laptop speakers). The basic principle of this new technology is that it generates a 360-degree sphere of sound for the listener. According to GenAudio, their new software enables the listener to hear their digital music library in a deeper, more immersed way.

The technology has already been used for the hi-definition home theater version of Hellboy II, and select bonus tracks from Robin Thicke’s latest album, Something Else - featured in our review of SanDisk's slotMusic Player.

AstoundStereo™ Expander can be downloaded from the AstoundStereo Website, priced at $19.95.
