THREEDEF LAUNCHES NEW BREED OF DIGITAL MUSIC UI
Threedef Launches First Digital Music User Interface To Expose Library Through Nine Key Pad
SEATTLE, March 11, 2005 - Threedef today announced the launch of its flagship product, a user interface that
allows music fans to select and play music using a nine key pad similar to that found on a cellular telephone.
The desktop player application, distributed via download through Threedef's website, offers a first look
at how digital music usage can be optimized for portable devices in addition to the PC. With Threedef's
nine key interface, users can dial in to immediately hear any artist, album, or track in their collection.
Threedef provides an instant alternative to the cumbersome process of scrolling through lists of content or
browsing folders to find music files.
Jason Thane, Threedef's creator, commented: "Threedef
represents a new dimension in the usability and convenience of digital music.
It delivers an unprecedented level of speed and accessibility to music users who have
large digital collections. We're very excited to see this product launch
kick off a fundamental change in the way people use their music."
The desktop player application released today is the first embodiment of the Threedef nine key
interface, but a mobile device implementation is anticipated. "Threedef is the optimal
method of use for digital music on a mobile or portable device, but it's extremely convenient to have on the PC
desktop," said Thane. "It's the same experience you'll have when using your full music library from
a cell phone."
The Threedef Instant Music Player is available for free download at Threedef's
website, www.threedef.com.
