Leading Audio Compression solutions for digital music, new media, and Internet streaming - today and tomorrow....

From the release of the world's first real-time MP2 audio compression software in 1996 to the introduction of its own MP3, QDesign Music and QDX technologies, QDesign has consistently demonstrated technological innovation. The company has established itself as the leading provider of the most advanced audio compression solutions in the broadcast, new media and Internet delivery markets.

Today, QDesign is dedicated to focusing its technology, expertise and vision on enabling the most efficient -- and highest quality -- delivery of audio over the Internet the industry has ever known. In early 1998 QDesign introduced the QDesign Music Codec (coder/decoder), a new generation technology designed to offer superior sound at the lowest data rates. Since the inclusion of the QDesign Music Codec in Apple QuickTime as the audio compression solution for Internet streaming, multimedia authoring and digital music, QDesign has received numerous industry awards and accolades for offering the best web audio technology.

To bring digital music to the masses QDesign introduced MVP, the first digital music software for creating and managing the most complete range of digital music and video formats on both MacOS and Windows. With MVP, music fans now have the means to experience the highest quality digital music (combined with video, graphics, and interactivity) from the Internet or enhanced CDs. Most recently QDesign raised the bar for digital audio with the launch of QDX, the industry's first secure, dynamically scalable digital music platform solution. The exciting and exclusive features of QDX optimize streaming and portability for the new era of online (and offline) entertainment.
