to D&H Distributing for College Bookstore Delivery Nationwide

e.Digital Corp. (OTCBB:EDIG) announced today that it has begun shipments of its new ultra-slim Silhouette(TM) portable MP3 CD player with SRS WOW(TM) audio enhancement to D&H Distributing.

D&H distributes consumer electronics products to more than 3,000 college campuses nationwide, representing a market of millions of college students. It is one of America's largest wholesale distributors of consumer electronics to the educational market. The Silhouette is also now available on e.Digital's online store at: http://www.edigital-store.com.

The eagerly anticipated Silhouette is capable of playing prerecorded music CDs or CDs containing MP3 or Windows Media(TM) format (WMA) files. The Silhouette features SRS WOW audio enhancement from SRS Labs Inc. (Nasdaq:SRSL) to provide listeners with a panoramic 3D sound image, clear vocals and a deep, rich bass listening experience over headphones or small speakers. The Silhouette is the first MP3 player in the United States to feature SRS WOW audio enhancement. SRS WOW is a leading audio technology for digital audio enhancement and is a high-profile brand worldwide. SRS Labs is a world-renowned developer and provider of innovative audio, voice, and surround sound technologies to the world's leading consumer electronics manufacturers.

"The SRS WOW technology provides a dramatic audio enhancement to any digital music played on the Silhouette player," said Ted Franceschi, executive vice president of sales and marketing for SRS Labs Inc. "We are working closely with e.Digital to co-market their digital audio players featuring SRS WOW for the U.S. consumer market. Initially, we plan to include e.Digital's audio players within our WOW branding campaign and feature them on SRS Labs' Web sites."

The Silhouette rounds out D&H's inventory of e.Digital portable audio products, which also includes e.Digital's Odyssey(TM) 100 and 200 MP3 players as well as the Treo(TM) 15 personal digital jukebox. The intuitive Odyssey players are Mac and PC compatible, loaded with features, and economically priced. The palm-sized, lightweight Treo 15 boasts superior sound quality and has a massive, 15 GB hard drive that stores 3,800 tracks or up to 300 CDs worth of digital music.

According to Jim Collier, president and COO of e.Digital, "The Silhouette shipment comes at a perfect time as college students are stocking up on school and entertainment supplies at their campus bookstores. The Silhouette's appearance, sound quality, and MP3 and WMA playback capability will appeal to music-savvy college kids. And its size and functionality make it perfect for students who want to listen to their CDs on the go."

Sporting a sleek design and mirrored finish, the .70-inch (18 mm) Silhouette weighs only 6.9 ounces (196 grams), and is one of the slimmest MP3 CD players available. It combines exceptional audio quality with a user-friendly interface so users can play either burned or prerecorded music CDs in a small, lightweight device. Silhouette also comes with a wired remote as part of the standard package for easy navigation.

All Silhouette packages include a user guide, portable stereo earphones, a wired remote control, an AC adaptor/charger, a carrying case, and two rechargeable stick type NiMH batteries that provide up to 10 hours of playback time per charge. The Silhouette retails for $149 MSRP.
