2 life is enhanc Got the Toy? Get the Tunes! So Santa was very, very good to you. You got an Archos multimedia jukebox... but it s empty! No tunes! Or it s not pre-loaded with your groove tunes. No problem, no jail time. Just download (for a small fee) legally from your fav emusic store. Oh the times, they are a changing... many recording companies today are eager to legally sell their content over the Internet. Slumping CD sales and the ease of downloading files have the RIAA singing a different tune. Legitimate download sites, such as Apple s itunes, the newly relaunched Napster 2.0 and MusicMatch, are the most popular delivering subscription-free services with per-song download fees and more liberal transfer and CD-burning policies than the initial generation of authorized download services. Portable Roxio s Napster 2.0 offers two service options: nonsubscription and subscription. Nonsubscribers may download a song and own it for $.99. For $9.95 per month, subscribers receive a richer experience with more than 40 Internet radio stations as well as unlimited downloading of Napster s available 500,000 songs to their hard drive. This premium service also allows subscribers to burn songs as they hear them on a radio station and share playlists with other subscribers. And, other music download sites such as EMusic, RealOne Rhapsody 2.01, MusicMatch and others, are catching on, making it easier to groove anywhere. All these tunes are turned on with the help of TI s TMS320DA255 processor. This DSP provides an optimal combination of high performance, peripheral options, small packaging and powerefficient performance. It gives designers enough headroom to differentiate and only takes 25 mw to perform MP3 decode to enable long battery life. DA255 key benefits include: Freedom to choose any desired storage medium Seamless listening with a fully integrated software library Design overhead - allows true product differentiation with programmable processor overhead up to 400 MIPS On the Road Again? Tune in to Telematics! Gotta have a car sound system that really works for you? Need to find that one mp3 song on your CD quickly and still drive safely? No problem. Telematics to the rescue! PhatNoise recently connected with TI to develop advanced audio devices, devices that know how you like to listen to music. Like the PhatNoise mcd platforms, which let you store thousands of CDs on a palm size hard-drive cartridge. A trunk-mounted digital media player directly connects to your existing car stereo.

3 d by toys turned Hot, Hot, Hot HD Radio Technology HD Radio is not your father s radio. It s digital radio that will have several features that will transform your radio dialing experience...like rewind radio and surround-sound transmission. You get original radio streams that are commercial-free and digital FM/AM broadcasts. It s the first killer app of this century that s transforming traditional radio broadcasting and reception. With the help of Texas Instruments technology, HD Radio has several exciting developments, such as the NPR s Tomorrow Radio project, which lets broadcasters transmit a second station on their given frequency, doubling the bandwidth of the FM band. TI s software radio approach easily allows manufacturers to add new features or standards for their listeners enjoyment...which translates into phenomenal reception. TI is leading this radio transformation with its digital baseband solutions the first DSP-based digital baseband for the HD Radio market was the TMS320DRI200 processor that enabled the first commercial HD Radio receivers. TI s latest innovation, the award-winning TMS320DRI250 processor, is the industry s first single-chip baseband that integrates all of the digital functions needed for a combined analog AM/FM and HD Radio receiver. It incorporates the digital channel source, data decoding and demodulation functions along with AM/FM demodulation and decoding and HD Radio/AM/FM blend. Before, twelve DSPs operating in parallel, were needed to provide receiver manufacturers the flexibility and processing power for these new standards, features or modifications. Besides integrating the HD Radio and IF sample AM/FM, the DRI250 is the first to provide MP3 and WMA CD decoding for automotive CD radio on one chip-set. The DRI250 is the perfect solution for the HD radio market with its advanced functionality and its powerful processing (an equivalent of 4000MIPS). It s one of the most cost-effective solutions on the market delivering exceptional sound quality while addressing the specifications of audio signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), total harmonic distortion + noise and stereo separation and sensitivity through software radio algorithms. Because it s perfect for both music and data applications, the DRI250 processor is a pioneering innovation for digital radio technology. Digital Radio
