JRiver partner, La Curacao, has just released the second edition of its popular media player which serves the Latin American community in the U.S. The player features a music store provided by MediaNet that offers subscription and purchase of several million tracks. Most tracks may be purchased in high quality MP3.
La Curacao is a leader in the integration of PC software, music store, and portable media player, featuring the Sony Walkman line. The user experience is tightly integrated and is available to consumers through La Curacao's kiosk computers, where a subscription customer can load their player with thousands of tracks without the need to own a computer.
Reuven Hayun, the leader of this effort for La Curacao, is a driving force for innovation in digital media. He and his team have relentlessly refined the delivery system and made it simple for even novice users to enjoy portable music.
The newest version of the service also offers several thousand music videos that can be purchased for playback on a computer or a portable device.
