Irvine, Calif. - VitalStream, a provider of digital media audio and video streaming services, announced on Tuesday that its infrastructure will power a new digital music service that offers high-definition song downloads at bitrates that match CD quality. The MusicGiants service, which has licensed tracks from all four major labels, will offer downloads in Microsoft's Windows Media Audio lossless format at up to 1,100 kpbs. By comparison, Apple's iTunes store offers songs at 128 kpbs in AAC format. MusicGiants claims to be the only digital music store to offer major label song downloads of such high audio quality. "If sound quality matters to you -- and it should if you are going to listen to your music on anything other than ear buds -- we are the only source for high definition downloads from the majors," said MusicGiants founder and CEO Scott Bahneman.
