"We'll have a major impact on the music and gaming industry, because the Song-Pro.com digital multimedia player opens up the world of content to be loaded on to an industry standard Smart Memory Card (SMC) and Multimedia Card (MMC) delivering CD quality sound with music, ebooks, talking books, bedtime stories, comic strips with voice over narration, and even spiritual, gospel and educational content," said Jones.
Not only does Song-Pro stand to benefit from the decision, but also Nintendo itself can sell even more than the 100 million Game Boys they have sold all ready. Nintendo's single focus has been games and so gamers brought the system, but now music lovers have a reason to buy a Game Boy as well. You can listen to music, the spoken word, comedy, etc. With Song-Pro, you can also see the CD cover art, the song title, and artist, album, genre and copyright information. The Game Boy display screens help you see it all. Song-Pro will also help users manage everything from play lists to play modes. It's all easy and it fits right in the palm of your hand.
"Our goal is to be Nintendo's music division, but we have to prove our worth over the next holiday seasons," Jones said. "If we are successful, Song-Pro.com should also be number one in digital music players, because Nintendo has done a good job marketing Game Boy."
While digital music players from Sony, RCA and so on, must justify their value, according to Jones, Song-Pro is just a cartridge for Game Boy. With a connection to the Internet, Song-Pro users will get to download music from online music providers right into the unit. You can also play MP3s made from your CD collection.
