New BluOS software broadens hi-res streaming options for customers in key markets in Asia.
SEOUL, KOREA, APRIL 6, 2018 – Lenbrook International, developer of the BluOS wireless hi-res audio streaming technology, announced today that Korea’s largest hi-res music streaming service, Bugs, will now be available for streaming on Bluesound and BluOS enabled products from NAD Electronics. Seamlessly integrated into the BluOS Controller app, Bugs will allow users in Korea to access millions of tracks in lossless, high-resolution formats directly from their smartphone or tablet, and stream it to multiple BluOS enabled devices throughout the home.
“Bugs is the premium music streaming service in Korea for hi-res audio, so it’s important for us to provide their users with a great-sounding listening experience that delivers every detail of their music,” said Andrew Haines, BluOS Product Manager. “We are committed to evolving the at-home listening experience and building advocacy with listeners in this market by providing simple, high-quality ways to listen to hi-res audio anywhere in the home.”
Bugs Music has more than 20 million songs, including 10 million lossless high-resolution songs (FLAC) which is the largest in the country. With its vast music library, Bugs built the service for music lovers to deeply enjoy all kinds of music with ease and convenience. In addition, Bugs provides personalized music recommendations and stations based on a listener’s music tastes and interests.
To appreciate clean and lossless high-quality sound, Bugs applies a quality improvement solution called, RADSONE. As a result of Bugs’ differentiated technology and commitment to sound quality, which is not found in other Korean music services, Bugs received official Hi-Res Audio certification from the Japan Audio Society (JAS), a first for digital music service providers in Korea.
