NimbleMusic announced today that it has launched several new services to help consumers convert and load their music, photo, home movie and DVD collections onto today’s personal media players like the video iPod and Sony’s PSP. This is the first such service offering — to convert every media type, under one roof — of its kind in the US, according to the company.
“NimbleMusic’s philosophy is that no personal media gets left behind in the iPod era,” said Peter Haimovitz, president of NimbleMusic., in the press release “Do-it-yourself conversion, ripping and player loading is time-consuming, technically challenging and easily left undone or incomplete. Making the process simple — by staying on top of evolving technology, streamlining the ordering and service packaging, and delivering the highest quality conversions — is NimbleMusic’s value,” continued Haimovitz.
“Today’s powerful new personal media players — extremely portable and brimming with storage — is the ideal platform on which the soundtrack and cinema of your life converge. Our all-media approach to conversion and loading makes the whole tedious process simple,” asserts Haimovitz. “NimbleMusic’s services enable its customers to preserve and easily transport all of their personal media.”
NimbleMusic new media ripping and loading services include: DVD & CD ripping, LP & Cassette to Digital Conversion, and Videocassette & Film to Digital Conversion. Device loading is included in all services. Supported players include Apple’s iPod and other devices. NimbleMusic will also load external/portable hard drives, Apple Mac Mini’s, media PC’s, or media servers.
Lisa Greenberg, a regional business manager from Apple’s Business Agent Program, says in the press release, “NimbleMusic’s business model is terrific, these services provide real value to our iPod customers.”
