Moonlogic and Pogo! Announce Seamless Integration Between First-of-its-kind Music Software and Portable Audio Player

Breakthrough MoodLogic Technology Provides Embedding of Artist Information for PoGo's RipFlash Recordable Digital Audio Players

San Francisco, CA., and Brea, CA., November 18, 2002 - MoodLogic and PoGo! announced today seamless integration between MoodLogic's first-of-its-kind digital music recognition and mixing software and PoGo!'s RipFlash™ line of Recordable Digital Audio Players.

PoGo! RipFlash players feature unique encoding (recording) technology, and, using a line-in connector, allow users to directly create MP3 files from any audio source, such as a portable CD player. The RipFlash player automatically detects gaps between song tracks and creates individual MP3 files for each song.

Users can then connect the RipFlash to a PC and use MoodLogic to upload the MP3 files to their hard disks. MoodLogic uses breakthrough technology to recognize each track based on its audio properties and assign correct artist and song title information.

"Having good artist and song information is crucial to getting full enjoyment out of your MP3 player," said Chris Pirkner, Vice President of Business Development for MoodLogic. "This ensures that you don't have to scroll through song after song by 'various artists.' You can instead easily find the songs you want. MoodLogic then takes recognition to the next level, providing genre, tempo, release year, and mood information, letting users put together custom mixes to transfer back to the RipFlash."

Using the bundled version of MoodLogic, users can quickly and easily transfer songs and custom mixes to the RipFlash by intuitive drag and drop operation. Users can upgrade to access the MoodLogic service for them to recognize, organize, and mix their entire digital music collections on their PCs.

"The MoodLogic file identifying feature is truly amazing technology and was just what we were looking for as a software solution for RipFlash" says Bob Fullerton, PoGo's Director of Product Marketing. "The consumer is rewarded with a RipFlash that is even easier to use since we have eliminated the need for manual editing of the file name and track information."

MoodLogic is bundled with select RipFlash models and a plug-in for the RipFlash DX is available at both company web sites. Plug-in's for other RipFlash models will be available shortly.
