FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Smallest MP3 Player for Macintosh Released

Instantly Accessible MP3 Strip 1.0 allows Mac users to playback MP3 music
via Control Strip.

December 6, 2000 - Today Kanex Group Inc. has added full-functional MP3
player to its family of useful applications for Macintosh computers. MP3
Strip is the Control Strip Module what enables a high-quality playback and
easy browsing through MP3 files. MP3 Strip instantly accessible and in
spite of its small size (90KB), you are not required to run any other
program to listen to your favorite MP3s.

Why you need another MP3 player, while there are many of them available for
a Mac? Because, hardly, are you willing to spend much time waiting while
the MP3 player is being downloaded and launched, due to its huge size. We
realized that many people just want to listen to MP3s, but they don't need
fancy skinnable interface and other bells and whistles. Also, many listen
MP3s in a background and nobody likes when a player eats memory, brakes
other tasks and skipping. We have design MP3 Strip on the way free from
these drawbacks.

While developing we have closely studied opinions of beta-testers and more
than a dozen of important changes were made basing on their
recommendations. We wanted to be sure that it is the very MP3 player Mac
users are in a need of.

With MP3 Strip it will take you less than a single minute to download,
install the program and play your favorite song. Just have a look at its
unique features:

) Very small (90KB) and easy to use audio MP3 player
) Always ready for use
) Automatically album list collection
) Hierarchical menu in the album list
) Sorting by Album, Artist or Folder name
) Quick Load album list from the preference file
) Automatic album list update for new and deleted tracks

) CBR (Constant Bit Rate) & VBR (Variable Bit Rate) playback support
) ID3 Tags support (v1.0, v1.1, v2.0, v2.2, v2.3, v2.4)

With the MP3 Strip application you won't have to browse across the windows

in your Control Strip ready to enjoy you at any time.
