Don't Lose Your Tunes: CBL Data Recovery Technologies Inc. Develops Data Recovery Technique for Apple iPods

Music files now recoverable without invasive procedures that may damage user warranties

ARMONK, NY / SAN DIEGO, CA — January 13, 2005 — CBL Data Recovery Technologies Inc. (http://www.cbldatarecovery.com), a leading international provider of computer data recovery services, has developed the first non-invasive procedure for retrieving multi-media files from Apple Computer, Inc.‘s popular iPod digital music player.

Users with damaged iPods can now send in the units for recovery of their music files without fear of voiding Apple warranties since in most instances CBL does not require invasive techniques to recovery the information.

“One of the biggest deterrents for using file recovery services is fear of voiding manufacturer’s warranties,” says Bill Margeson, CEO of CBL Data Recovery Technologies. “As a result, we are always researching and developing new, non-invasive techniques to find ways of recovering digital files to ensure the warranties remain valid.”

As digital media players and other handheld devices become more popular, CBL has seen increased demand for multi-media file recovery services for more consumer-oriented digital data storage media. In most cases consumers are not even concerned with backing up their devices to a desktop PC resulting in an even greater exposure to media loss. Apple sold 4.5 million iPods in the 2004 holiday quarter alone.

“As digital media storage devices have become mainstream, the scenarios for potential data loss have multiplied,” adds Margeson. “In addition, average consumers using devices such as iPods may have less experience with traditional PC computing and data backups. They may not be aware that they could lose their entire music collection.”

A leader in its field, CBL is a multinational data recovery organization with facilities in the United States, Canada, Brazil, Barbados, England, Germany, China, Singapore, Japan and Australia. The company has been focused solely on the data recovery market for more than a decade. Through its on-going research and development efforts, CBL has created a library of proprietary processes to successfully recover data from failed PC hard disk drives when all other conventional methods have failed.
