Rotel has announced an alliance with AUPEO! An intuitive online music service available in the USA, Europe, and Asia that streams high quality music over the internet. Rotel plans to integrate AUPEO! into their new internet enabled components which will debut in the summer of 2010.
With AUPEO! consumers can choose from more than 80 high-quality radio stations and can create personalized music selections based on Artist, Mood and Personal Stations. Once selected, AUPEO! saves the information and creates a music profile which suggests songs based on personal preferences. AUPEO! offers a free Basic Service that streams music at 128kbps per second and a Premium package offering higher quality streaming at up to 320kbps — the perfect match for the exceptional sound quality of Rotel’s products.
Mike Bartlett says, “We are pleased to be able to offer this premium quality music service to our customers with our new Internet radio components. “Although the USA offers many different internet radio services, they are contractually constrained to America only. With AUPEO! we can extend this reach to customers in the US as well as Europe and Asia.”
“Rotel is a brand that is highly regarded throughout the world for their audiophile quality components and we are very pleased to be chosen as their online music service for the new Rotel internet enabled components,” said Armin G. Schmidt, CEO of AUPEO!
