Doug Camplejohn, Founder, CEO, myplay, inc. Doug Camplejohn came up with the idea for myplay out of frustration. "I was just trying to copy a few songs onto my Rio for the first time," he recalls." There were multiple pieces of software I had to load, and when I was trying to get this thing to work, the user interfaces were completely non-intuitive. At one point I just sat back and laughed because there were five windows open in my computer and all I was trying to do was create the digital equivalent of a short mix tape." Instead of giving up, Camplejohn decided to fix the problems himself. He called his friend and former colleague, David Pakman, and myplay was born. Camplejohn, who was born in 1965 in Montclair, New Jersey, became interested in electronics as a teenager. He was also a music fan, getting his first guitar at age 13. But his main axes have been computers. He played an Apple IIe in high school and, at Carnegie-Mellon University in Pittsburgh beginning in 1983, he bought one of the first 128K Macintoshes. His love for the Mac prompted him to move out West and land a summer internship at Apple. "My job was basically to figure out what the perfect higher education computer should look like three years in the future. It was there I met people working on the concepts of bringing audio and video capabilities to a personal computer--a radical concept at the time." After earning his electrical engineering degree and his MBA, Camplejohn joined Apple full-time as a product manager in the multimedia group, and became a pivotal member of the team that invented and produced QuickTime, the pioneer video and sound compression system--the most successful software product Apple has ever shipped. From Apple, Camplejohn joined Starlight Networks, a pioneer in video streaming. Two years later, he once again joined an innovative startup--Catapult Entertainment, where he led business development and got his first taste of consumer products and consumer marketing. The most recent stop for Camplejohn before myplay was E.piphany, a leader in 1-to-1 marketing software. E.piphany's software integrates all the data a company, like Charles Schwab or Hewlett-Packard, collects about their customers in each department and tailors marketing and Web communications based on that data. "I was hooked the moment I saw the software--it's a marketer's dream. It was there I also worked with Don Peppers and Dr. Martha Rogers, and really got the 1-to-1 religion they preach imprinted in my brain." Camplejohn joined E.piphany as VP of Marketing, the company became a market leader within a year, and after leaving in the fall decided "it was time to go and do my own thing." Early in 1999, Doug had the basic concept for myplay together. "MP3 isn't about just a file format," Camplejohn says, "it's about having access to any music, any time, any place. The question, harkening back to my Apple roots, was how do you make that as easy as popping a CD into a player and pressing 'Play'?" "The whole point of music," he concludes, "is that it should be fun and spontaneous. If we can help people enjoy their music on the Web without frustrations, myplay will have done its job."
