| VISTA, Calif., May 22
/PRNewswire/ -- Computergeeks.com, a leading business-to-consumer e-commerce site
specializing in unique computer-related products and peripherals, today announced that it
had beaten it's previously announced date of May 15th and began taking orders for and
shipping it's first allocation of Genica(TM) Portable MP3/CD Players on May 8th. The Genica(TM) MP3/CD Player, which received a five-star rating on the MP3.COM Hardware Review web page, is the same size and shape as a standard portable Compact Disc player, and weighs about 11 Ounces. What makes this player different is the electronics inside the unit that enable it to play back music stored in the .MP3 file format. Because .MP3 music files are digitally-compressed, it is possible to squeeze dozens of near-CD quality songs on a single recordable (CD-R) or re-writable (CD-RW) disc. ``Consumers are clamoring for digital music solutions. Innovative and reasonably-priced products like this further validate the .MP3 format for digital music distribution and serve to fuel the demand for additional related products and services. Not to mention the fact that being able to store over 100 near CD-quality songs on a single disc and play them back anywhere you go is pretty significant,'' said Michael Robertson, CEO of MP3.COM. Previously, .MP3 music files could only be replayed on standard desktop PCs or in ``solid-state'' portables of very limited capacity. ``Before, when you wanted to listen to .MP3 music on the go, you were limited to the ten songs or so that the flash memory in your portable player would hold. Now you can put ten times that many on a single CD and play it in the car, at the gym, wherever,'' said Scott Kusel, President of Computergeeks.com. ``We see where the road to music's future is headed, and we intend to be on it. The Genica(TM) Portable MP3/CD Player is our first step,'' Kusel added. ``Demand for this product is incredible, and this is the first portable .MP3 player to achieve any kind of significant distribution volume in the US. Not only meeting, but beating, our announced ship-date by a week is huge, because so many other companies have promised similar products for so long and have been unable to get to market on time, let alone ahead of schedule,'' said Chris Herzog, Vice President of Electronic Commerce Development for Computergeeks.com.
