New Product Launch
Z GROUP plc announces the release of its latest new product,
www.ShrinkMyTunes.com, a breakthrough in MP3 compression
London, UK - 26 July 2007 - Z GROUP plc, the AIM listed developer and provider
of leading consumer Internet technologies, announces the launch of
ShrinkMyTunes, a unique compression software that has the capability to
quadruple the storage capacity of iPods, MP3 players and mobile phones.
ShrinkMyTunes' compression of MP3 audio files is achieved through proprietary
encoding and heuristic optimization algorithms developed by former NASA
scientists. This software has been licensed exclusively by Z GROUP for
worldwide distribution. The compressed audio files are compliant with the
industry standard MP3 format and remain in MP3 format after the compression has
taken place. The software works seamlessly with iTunes and any MP3 player and
takes under a minute to compress each track.
Jamie True, Joint CEO of Z GROUP, said:
'ShrinkMyTunes addresses important and specific needs for anyone with a music
collection and will be particularly popular with owners of iPod minis and
shuffles, as well as new iPhone customers. There are currently over 11 million
people in the UK alone that own an MP3 player and this sector is continuing to
experience high growth. We are very proud to be the first and only company to
bring such an innovative, useful and affordable software product to consumers
worldwide. ShrinkMyTunes builds on Z GROUP's success of delivering
award-winning compression software that started with our ONSPEED product.'
ShrinkMyTunes will be available for £19.99 from www.shrinkmytunes.com and HMV
flagship stores throughout September and October. This will be followed by a
launch in retail stores nationwide.
