InterTrust Technologies Corp. Thursday acquired a number of streaming media resources from MpegTV LLC.
InterTrust purchased the Xaudio MP3 audio technology and the licensing of the MPEG-1 video software playback and streaming technology for an undisclosed amount.
InterTrust said it acquired these assets to accelerate the music industry time to market for DRM-enabled commerce products.
MpegTV's Xaudio MP3 technology is a licensed software playback engine for MP3 audio on the Internet. Industry leaders such as MusicMatch, Diamond RIO, Empeg, and MacAMP already license the Xaudio MP3 technology. The Xaudio technology includes a playback engine that decodes MP3 audio streams, and can support additional codecs such as AAC.
