Starbucks + HP : Connect faster than you can say, "Venti(R) half-caf brewed coffee with room"

  Relax, Explore, and Discover Music

After successfully partnering to provide T-mobile® high-speed internet
access to its customers, Starbucks has once again enlisted the expertise
of HP. Powered by HP's end-to-end digital music solutions, Starbucks
first ever Hear Music Coffeehouse in Santa Monica, California is
transforming the way people discover, explore, and enjoy music.

  A Revolutionary Music Experience

From 65 HP Tablet PC-based listening stations, customers can listen to entire CDs, read exclusive artist interviews, and explore special features in Hear Music’s digital library. What’s more, music aficionados can also choose from a catalog of songs to make their own personal compilations, then instantly burn them onto a CD at an interactive Listening Bar.

The robust CD burning and printing technology is powered by HP xw6000
Workstations running HP-developed applications. With the help of HP
Business Inkjet 1100D printers, customers also receive professional-quality CD labels, cover art, and liner notes created at the interactive Listening Bar.

  How Music is Brewed

A broad array of innovative and easy-to-use consumer and enterprise technologies support the Hear Music Coffeehouse customer experience. All content is stored and streamed on HP DL380 Servers using HP storage solutions. HP content administration applications allow store partners to create and manage featured editorial content, upload new content, burn compilations, and administer other in-store music solutions.

  Leading the Revolution

As a leader in every facet of digital entertainment, HP is helping
Starbucks provide their customers with an extraordinary in-store
experience and - in the process - revolutionize how artists are
discovered and how their fans discover them.
