RapidSolution Software AG presents the new Windows software “MP3videoraptor 3.0″ on its website at http://www.audials.com. It allows users to instantly download and save virtually any song in MP3 format – free of charge. Even the automatic creation of an entire music library is a piece of cake. What makes this principle so revolutionary are these two functions: an intelligent control and the recording of music from numerous individual Web 2.0 radios – the legal and free way to get your favorite music.

“Radiotracker”, “Tunebite” and “AudialsOne” – all products of the “Audials” series distributed by RapidSolution Software have been popular around the world for years and have won numerous awards. The completely novel option to get MP3 media with the assistance of the “MP3videoraptor 3.0″ marks another milestone achieved on behalf of responsible consumers.

Do you want any music piece of your choice from millions of MP3 recordings – or would you rather get an entire music library comprising tens of thousands of MP3s automatically?

Users can conveniently enter or select from a catalog the name of their favorite artist and the MP3videoraptor instantly displays all key songs available for that artist. One click and they are on your hard disk in MP3 format.

As an alternative, fans can choose the brand new “Autoload” to create their music libraries automatically – it sorts by favorite artists, and genres. Enter the quantity desired (e.g. 1000 MP3) and MP3Videoraptor loads the best music as quickly as your DSL line can process downloads!

As an option, users can also download music videos – with instant on the fly conversion into the format of your preference (MP4, 3GP, WMV, AVI etc.).

All of this music free of charge in the blink of an eye – legally and in high-quality MP3 – how is that even possible?

Internet radio recording is a legal and popular option that allows fans to get MP3 music free of charge. However, even if intelligent software solutions are available, it takes quite a while to get the music you want that way – after all, you will have to wait until a piece is played on an Internet radio station.

However, the Web 2.0 trend did result in the creation of several special websites that offer their users individually compiled radio programs. They allow listeners to request specific songs, which are played immediately.

The brand new MP3videoraptor 3.0 is the only solution to date that can control the most important Web 2.0 radios invisibly, automatically and simultaneously to ensure they play the user’s favorite tunes and to record them digitally in the best quality possible – in other words to provide instant access to virtually any song.

Enhancement and convenience

Many users are already familiar with the automatic Internet search for ID3 tags, cover images and song lyrics from other Audials products. This feature enhances the MP3s. An integrated player, CD burner, a ring tone generator, a web video recorder for Youtube etc., MP3 player synchronization and many other convenient features make the MP3videoraptor the perfect tool to put together a music library.

Try before you buy

On the audials.com website users can download the MP3videoraptor free of charge without having to register. This test version provides 25 high quality MP3s of your choice.

AuthenTec, a world leading provider of fingerprint sensors and solutions, today announced that its TouchStoneä fingerprint sensor packaging technology will enable future generations of waterproof cell phones, including a new phone to enter high-volume production in the fourth quarter of 2008.  This new smooth, durable and waterproof packaging technology is AuthenTec’s newest fingerprint sensor packaging alternative for today’s leading cell phone manufacturers.  Millions of today’s mobile phones include an AuthenTec sensor to enhance privacy by securing the device’s personal and corporate data (e-mail, photos, contact lists, etc.), provide advanced navigation functions and support secure m-commerce.

Touchstone

“AuthenTec once again leads the way with innovative fingerprint sensor technology for a new generation of waterproof handsets that leverage the waterproof properties of our new TouchStone packaging, as well as the many features of our Power of Touch offerings,” said Art Stewart, AuthenTec vice president of Wireless Products.  “Our ultra-durable TouchStone technology will help our customers further differentiate their product offerings by combining our award-winning TruePrintâ fingerprint sensor technology with robust waterproof packaging to create a new segment of secure waterproof cell phones.”

The leading cause of cell phone returns not covered under warranty is damage from exposure to excess moisture or immersion in water or other liquids.  Cell phone returns spike every summer due to accidental drops into swimming pools, Jacuzzis, lakes or oceans.   Driven by consumer demand for more rugged water-resistant designs, leading cellular handset manufacturers including Casio, Fujitsu, LG, and Toshiba have introduced waterproof cell phones, many of which are capable of submersion in one meter of water for up to 30 minutes.   AuthenTec’s TouchStone package allows for easy integration into various waterproof industrial design configurations that provides the durability and water resistance required for this new class of handsets while adding Power of Touch features including security, convenience, personalization and navigation.

AuthenTec’s TouchStone is a durable, thin profile fingerprint sensor packaging technology which expands aesthetic and product integration options for makers of cell phones, laptop computers, and other consumer electronics.   TouchStone enables a new class of fingerprint sensors that combine all the features of AuthenTec’s patented TruePrint technology with thin, durable, easy to integrate, waterproof packaging for today’s stylistic cell phone designs.

Unlike all other semiconductor components embedded within a cell phone or other consumer electronic device, fingerprint sensors must be durable enough to withstand the common wear and tear experienced on the outside of the phone. TouchStone technology extends the already proven durability of AuthenTec sensors by tripling the protective coating over the fingerprint sensor die.

TouchStone-packaged sensors are based on TruePrint technology, AuthenTec’s unique solution that reads below the surface of the skin to the live layer where a person’s true fingerprint resides.  This unique subsurface approach enables AuthenTec sensors to read virtually every fingerprint, every time — a critical requirement in any fingerprint-enabled device.  TouchStone technology also combines AuthenTec’s TrueNav menu navigation features, TrueFinger anti-spoofing security, and TrueMatch pattern matching to ensure the industry’s highest level of security, usability and convenience.
