Partnered with Wolfgang Spegg the company musicmusicmusic inc. was founded. They had a vision of delivering music over the Internet legally with the cooperation of the major labels. Something that no one had ever accomplished. All before Napster, now a household word, even existed.

The pair began courting the initial small investors for a small investment of $10,000 each one by one the ball slowly began to roll and gained momentum.

One of the first 20 MP3 encoder licenses that Frunhofer IIS, the R&D company that developed MP3, issued.

The recording industry's reaction to legal Internet broadcasting was not warm. It took repeated meetings with licensing bodies such as CRIA and The RIAA.

The project took Sean through ten countries. Highlights include,

• initial meeting with Claudio Faoro, a Swiss investment lawyer at the Munich train station.
• meeting with EUnet International in Amsterdam, the creators of the European Internet backbone in 1998 just after they were purchased by Qwest.
• manning the front lines at MIDEM in Cannes, France
• deployment of the first International franchise in Abu Dabi, UAE

musicmusicmusic became publicly traded on the Neuer Markt in Frankfurt on October 1, 1999 under the symbol MU5. Taking the lead development role Sean quickly developed a complete commercial product line of music delivery products and retail sampling products such as the Web Bar Listening Post deployed in the large retail chain Future Shop.
