- NXP Software's MusicPlayer Enables Competitive and Cost Effective Music Functionality

NXP Software announces the integration of its LifeVibes MusicPlayer into Samsung's new SGH-F250 mobile phone. MusicPlayer is a unique, cost effective software mobile music solution that enables high-end mp3 functionality on baseband platforms without the need for a media co-processor.

A complete, pre-integrated middleware solution, NXP Software's MusicPlayer supports local playback, downloading and streaming, and offers dedicated features for easy navigation. A proven, multi-standard solution, it supports both Windows Media and 3GPP compliant playback. All this makes it easy to design-in, lowering development risks and costs and speeding time-to-market.

The MusicPlayer's focus on easy access to content and synchronization is designed to enable an enjoyable, seamless user experience. It supports both Windows Media Digital Rights Management (WM DRM) and open-standards OMA DRM (versions 1 and 2). Compatibility with WM DRM and Microsoft's Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) provides access to a vast choice of songs and playlists, along with their associated metadata. The software is also compliant with Microsoft's PlaysForSure and Napster OTG, guaranteeing that any compatible content will play on the phone.

LifeVibes MusicPlayer provides comprehensive navigation controls including: start, stop, pause, jump and next song. And by supporting metadata, it also ensures all songs appear in the navigation regardless of their source or where they are stored.

A set of post-processing features ensure sparkling listening, including a natural 3D effect for headphones and stereo-widening for true stereo reproduction even on closely-placed speakers.

The Samsung SGH-F250 music phone takes full advantage of all these features with dedicated music playback navigation keys on the front and the capability to store up to 1,500 tracks in various formats.
