RioPort aims to solve problem of music portability and commercial services

3 January 2002 14:15 by Petteri "dRD" Pyyny

RioPort, a service provider spun off from S3, will release its new product range on next week that would allow commercial content services such as MusicNet and Pressplay to set rules how users can transfer music they've downloaded from the services to their portable music players.

This has been done because once you allow users to transfer the music, you take the risk that the files can be transferred to unauthorized third party.
