“We are thrilled that Big Machine Records has signed on to exclusively utilize Promo Only MPE,” said Dean Ernst, Director of Promo Only MPE. “The Country music industry has overwhelmingly mandated Promo Only MPE as their digital distribution system of choice for a myriad of reasons including its provision of speed, exceptional security and broadcast-quality files."
“We did our homework when it came to available choices in the digital distribution market," said Big Machine Records president Scott Borchetta. "Promo Only MPE is a proven industry leader in terms of service and innovative offerings and was clearly the hands-down favorite for Big Machine Records.”
