This application contains codec (coding/decoding) software from Thomson Licensing S.A., of France ("TLS") and distributed for licensing by Gracenote. This software ("mp3/mp3PRO Codec") enables this application to do encoding (creation) and decoding (playback) of digital music files using mp3 and mp3PRO audio compression technology.
Supply of this product only conveys a license for private, non-commercial use and does not convey a license nor imply any right to use this product in any commercial (i.e., revenue-generating) real time broadcasting (terrestrial, satellite, cable and/or any other media), broadcasting / streaming via Internet, intranets and/or other networks or in other electronic content distribution systems, such as pay-audio or audio-on-demand applications. An independent license for such use is required. For details, please visit www.mp3licensing.com.
By using the software to create an mp3 or mp3PRO file, you agree that the Gracenote software may submit a SoundStamp to the CDDB service. A Soundstamp(tm) is a short distillation of the sound-wave information in the music itself and helps the CDDB service to identify artist and title information for digital music files. A Soundstamp does not contain any information about you or your computer, and computing the Soundstamp should have no noticeable effect on the performance of your computer. For more information, see the Soundstamp FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) page, and the Privacy Policy for the Gracenote CDDB Service.
