| LOUISVILLE, Colo., July 26
/PRNewswire/ -- UltraCo Incorporated announced today that their UltraPlayer(TM) Audio
Software received the highest ranking in an impartial head-to-head test comparing the
audio quality of 20 of the most popular media players. Their Neutrino(TM) MPEG Audio
decoder passed all of the five rigorous tests with flying colors. The tests were performed
by PhD candidate David Robinson under an independent research grant from the Engineering
and Physics Research Council (www.epsrc.ac.uk). The
results of the extensive test are available for viewing at www.ultraplayer.com/company/dectests.asp
. UltraPlayer's Neutrino decoder was top rated in a formidable field of players, beating Winamp(TM) 2.62, Sonique(TM) 1.51, MusicMatch(TM) Jukebox 5.1118, and Microsoft Windows Media Player(TM) v6.4 and v7 beta. Amongst the top four finishers, UltraPlayer was the only player tested that is currently available, independent, and not part of an open-source project. ``The results of Mr. Robinson's tests corroborate our own internal evaluations and the great feedback we get from UltraPlayer users around the world. This strictly independent test proves what we've known for some time, that UltraPlayer has the best combination of fidelity, efficiency, and stability in the world, and its free!'' said UltraCo President, Andy Fanton.
