DMX Music
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
DMX Music (previously known as Digital Music Express before its merger with AEI Music), is a subscription service that provides over 100 channels of music in digital format, delivered via digital cable, satellite, and on-premise technology. It is available in the U.S., Canada, UK, Germany, the Netherlands, France, Spain, Hungary, Poland, South Africa, Hong Kong, Thailand, Venezuela and Australia. DMX Music's inflight division was sold around 2006. Most of DMX Music's residential service (delivered by cable) in the USA was taken over by Music Choice in 2003. The service began in 1992 and is delivered primarily via satellite. The only consumer Direct broadcast satellite service in the United States to carry DMX was the short-lived AlphaStar. The service in Europe is branded as DMX Xtramusic, is supplied via Astra 1, and is encrypted using the insecure Cryptoworks format.
DMX MUSIC declaired bankruptcy in 2004 and the company was sold by Liberty Media and taken over by Capstar Partners LLC of Austin, Texas. At that time many of the veteran DMX music programmers based in Los Angeles were terminated. DMX MUSIC also lost key executive Lon Troxel during the change of ownership.
