Digital Jukebox at Your Local Bar

What`s the best part about going to your town bar? Having the ability to pick great songs from the jukebox to listen to while hanging out with your friends, of course! But instead of a classic jukebox, imaging having the latest in music technology, the ability to play almost any song you can think of, with just a few clicks on the screen. Promo Only MPE, the leading label-endorsed digital distribution system in the United States, today announced that it will provide digital jukeboxes with music exclusively from the Promo Only MPE System. With the aid of Promo Only MPE, jukebox owners will now be able to download tracks immediately upon release, ensuring that their systems are constantly provided with only the freshest content specifically targeted to their respective demographic markets.

The new MAX FIRE jukeboxes, distributed exclusively by SML Entertainment, will feature touch screen technology and the capacity to hold over 50,000 songs. Promo Only MPE will digitally deliver music to these jukeboxes via its safe and secure delivery system, alleviating fears of industry piracy. Operators who own jukeboxes in multiple locations will be able to move individual tracks and video content to each box via a single centralized computer. The MAX FIRE jukeboxes are wall mounted and operated using a bill and coin system, making them ideally suited for use in bars, clubs and restaurants. The campaign will roll out in Canada first, debuting in additional markets shortly thereafter.

Promo Only MPE has been leading the music industry in digital distribution in the United States since its launch in October of 2004. To date, the system has over 6,200 individual registered users. In excess of 9000 tracks have been distributed through the Promo Only MPE System for labels including Universal Music Group, Sony BMG, EMI Music Group and Warner Music Group. 2005 marked the partnership deal with Mediabase 24/7 monitoring service and the unveiling of the first ever digital distribution system with Spanish language capabilities, allowing it to serve the growing number of Spanish speaking radio stations and Latin label divisions in the United States.
