Foster City, California, July 19th, 1999 – Live365.com, the leading provider of streaming MP3 audio content on the Web, today announced content partnerships with Epitonic.com and LA2nite.com, two unique online entertainment providers. These partnerships strongly compliment Live365.com's current selection of streaming audio and personal broadcast capabilities.
Live365.com membership has continued to increase since its initial launch in early June 1999. This climb has been largely attributed to the uniqueness of offering individuals the tools to create a streaming "radio station" on the Web at no charge. Using the Live365.com service, professional and amateur netcasters can build and broadcast customized audio streams to a very large audience. As a result, Live365.com has seen overall listenership skyrocket, as more and more content choices become available.
In effort to enhance its independently created content menu, Live365.com sought and secured a relationship with Epitonic.com. As the leading source of cutting-edge downloadable music on the Net, Epitonic.com was a natural choice for content partnership with Live365.com. Epitonic offers downloadable electronica music tracks from such legendary labels as Madhattan Studios, Mammoth and Shaken Not Stirred Records, among others. As an exclusive feature of its partnership with Live365.com, the company will debut its electronica station 'Epitronica' on the Live365 website. In turn, Epitonic.com will feature a direct link to Live365.com from its own website, http://www.epitonic.com/.
Right on the heels of the Epitonic partnership was the finalization of a similar content package with LA2nite.com, Los Angeles' premier online entertainment destination. LA2nite.com delivers LA's hottest music and club event information to the World Wide Web. Users can access artist, event, genre, and location links complete with articles, reviews, photos, calendars, and streaming music. Highlighting the relationship with Live365.com, the LA2nite will offer streaming audio tracks on Live365 to complement online editorial coverage. Links will be offered from online reviews and articles to MP3 music tracks related to the editorial content found at http://www.la2nite.com/.
"Live365.com is dedicated to providing its users and listeners with easy to use broadcast tools along with a large and unique line-up of streaming audio choices, " said Darryl LaRue, director of business development for Nanocosm, Inc., creators of Live365.com. "The partnerships with Epitonic and LA2nite are directly in line with this goal and we are extremely pleased to have both of them on board. These relationships, coupled with the expanded features and functionality we now offer will further enhance our strong presence in the streaming media and personal broadcasting arenas."
