SAN DIEGO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--November 15, 1999--e.Digital
Corporation (OTC:EDIG) announced that its portable, secure, digital
music player design will be featured this week at COMDEX 99, one of
the world's largest international computer trade shows in Las Vegas.
The unique design, based on e.Digital's MicroOS(TM) file management
system, will be demonstrated in the Texas Instruments Internet audio
suite at the Bellagio.
President and CEO Fred Falk said, "We are very pleased to have
Texas Instruments demonstrate our e.Digital/Lucent/Texas Instruments
Internet music player design in their suite. Our design includes all
the features customers expect in a high-quality Internet music player
including superb sound quality. This week's widespread exposure to
potential licensees and OEM customers -- both at COMDEX and Webnoize
in Los Angeles -- launches the next generation of Internet music
players."
The portable digital music player prototype built by e.Digital
also features Lucent's ePAC(TM) music compression technology, Texas
Instruments' programmable Digital Signal Processor (DSP), QDesign's
Music playback and MVP software, and Liquid Audio's SP3 system. The

supports several digital rights management systems. e.Digital's design
stores music files on removable CompactFlash(TM) cartridges from
SanDisk. The design is compatible with Mac OS or Windows based PC's.
The company also announced that along with Texas Instruments,
Liquid Audio, RioPort, QDesign, SanDisk, I-Jam, Iomega, and RCA, it is
co-sponsoring an invitation-only party on Tuesday, November 16 at 8
