Re-Recording Protected Music Files Now Even Easier with New Tunebite User Interface and Web Site

Karlsruhe, November 9, 2005 – Rapid Solution Software today announced the latest release of Tunebite, Windows software that helps frustrated music lovers play protected music tracks without limitation on all MP3 players. The new release, offering an improved, easier-to-use user interface, 4x recording speed and digital sound quality, is available on the product's new internet site http://www.tunebite.com.

End-Users Freed from Frustrating Limitations

Many MP3 players on today's market are incapable of playing Digital-Rights-Management (DRM) copy-protected music files. The typical music consumer doesn’t run into difficulty until after he or she has purchased music and tries to play it on his or her MP3 player. In the USA and in Europe, lawmakers have decided that copying computer files clearly marked as copy-protected is a violation of copyright law. Subsequent clarification of these decisions has resulted in a narrow, penalty-free exception to the rules: a user may re-record purchased music tracks to make private copies for personal use. Tunebite takes advantage of this legal loophole by allowing users to re-record music while it is being played, creating private, unprotected copies that can be played on any device—without risking violation of copyright laws
