HDGiants (formerly MusicGiants), an online distributor of music and video, has released HD MediaStore, an application for Windows Media Center.

Developed in partnership with Aspen Media Products, the application allows users to purchase and download high-def content via the Media Center TV interface.

HDGiants claims to be the only distributor licensed to distribute music in high definition from all of the major music labels including Sony BMG, Universal Music Group, EMI Music Group, Warner Music Group, Concord Music Group and Naxos U.S.A. The company's HD files are encoded in the WMA lossless audio codec which, at a sample rate of 44.1/16, yields the same sound quality as a CD.

So, did this ever come out yet?
Who is Aspen Media Products?

Are either company still in business?

Aspen is definitely in business. Check out this story we did last month on its new Media Center product.

Interesting. I had called them a few months back and asked about the Music Giants store and how it would be any better\different than just using WMP.

Over several calls the Aspen employees kept saying the store ws coming ‘soon” but it has been months now. I called a couple of times recently and no one ever answered. Guess I’ll try again -thanks.

It appears HDGiants (formerly MusicGiants) is about to go out of business.  Recently all Warner and Universal titles were purged from their catalog, and now I can’t add money to my account with any credit card and customer service won’t answer the phone or return my emails.  Also, it doesn’t look look like any new releasees have been added in about two weeks.
