March 1, 2004 Announcing AliveAudio.net New Internet Service Expected to Revolutionize Live Music Distribution Louisville, KY March 1, 2004 - Today Ruth Music Group LLC (RMG) announced the launch of AliveAudio.net, a revolutionary new service that allows musicians and bands to sell recordings of their live performances to fans across North America, via legal Internet downloads. The company is also the first digital service that allows bands to manage mechanical licenses and royalties in one easy interface. Alive Audio was inspired by the improvisational melting pot of musicians commonly referred to as jam bands. Extraordinary live performances are why artists from the Grateful Dead to Dave Matthews Band have enjoyed fanatically loyal fan bases. Most of these fans are internet-savvy and use the net to find information about bands, discuss their favorite shows in online forums, and buy music and merchandise. These fans number in the millions and are a prime, eager audience for Alive Audio services. A primary goal of RMG is to ensure that the music downloaded from Alive Audio lets fans feel as close to "being there" as possible. Corporate services like Napster and iTunes offer inferior audio files such as WMA and AAC. However, the format for Alive Audio downloadable music files is FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec), which means that none of the original clarity and nuances of the recording are lost in the compression process, leaving fans with nothing but the highest quality audio. "The music industry is ripe for radical change. The convergence of live recordings and legal digital downloads has created a fertile ground for genuinely talented performers and songwriters to achieve success, not because they are backed by a multi-million dollar promotional tour but simply because they are good," said T. D. Ruth, founder and president of RMG and Alive Audio. "Many business analysts think digital music will be dominated by retail powerhouses like Wal-Mart and Best Buy because independent operations will either fail or sell-out. Id like to introduce them to option #3. Alive Audio is one of many independent companies that are ushering in a much deserved redistribution of wealth in the industry. Those who make music get to enjoy the fruits of their labor. Its that simple." Nationally touring bands are not the only ones to benefit from a service like Alive Audio. Ruth believes that introducing live recordings to the main stream presents even greater opportunities for young musicians. "Recording live performances is great for small bands who cant afford hours in the studio. Not only is it an efficient way to create a sellable product, it allows prospective talent buyers to feel the energy that a band possesses on stage, which can help in booking future gigs." Alive Audio makes it easy for artists to participate by creating a safe, secure means for fans to order and download music, either from the Alive Audio site or directly from the artist's site. Artists also have access to online account management tools so that they can track sales and downloads. In the coming days and weeks the company plans to announce a host of partnerships that will significantly improve functionality for the artist and enhance the fan experience. please visit us at http://www.aliveaudio.net Artists: for more information email: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it For press information, contact Ariel Publicity phone: (212) 239-8384 e-mail: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it ### Add this page to your favorite Social Bookmarking websites          Add your comment
