CARLSBAD, Calif. -- Digital Mind Corporation (DMC) and Max McLean, President of the Fellowship for the Performing Arts (FPA), today announced agreement to offer the highly acclaimed Complete Listener's Bible NIV, narrated by Max McLean, as an upgrade bundle to DMC's Sermon Assistant(TM) line of portable audio player/recorders. The Complete Listener's Bible has been widely available for sometime in major retail outlets, as well as online, in CD format. However, this will be the first time that it will be available pre-loaded on a portable audio player.

"We are very excited at being able to offer what is unquestionably the best audio presentation of the scriptures available anywhere, on our new line of Sermon Assistant portable audio player recorders," said Jim Collier, Digital Mind's President and CEO. "We are privileged to work with an artist of Max's stature on this project. He brings an entirely new dimension to the spoken word and the Sermon Assistant presents it with the quality it deserves."

"The FPA is very pleased to work with Digital Mind," commented Max McLean. "We believe that digital players like the DMC 800 are the wave of the present. Its storage capacity is amazing to us. The fact that the entire Listener's Bible, 77 hours on 66 CDs, now fits easily in the palm of your hand will be an additional motivation for devoting daily time in God's word. The majority of Christians desire to read the entire Bible during their lifetime. Sadly, many never will. However, if they listen to it for only 30 minutes a day, they can experience the entire Bible in less than six months."

Collier further added, "The all new Sermon Assistant is also the ideal tool for clergy. It provides an entirely new dimension for organization and communication of sermon audio libraries. The Sermon Assistant can consolidate thousands of audio tapes into a single compact digital audio library that can fit in the palm of your hand. It will take more than 75 years of sermons to fill it to capacity. 3,750 sermons (40 minutes long) can be easily stored in the compact 3" x 5" x 0.75" Sermon Assistant. Weighing only 9.8 oz it can easily be taken with you wherever you go."

The Sermon Assistant also allows direct high quality voice recording with its built-in omni directional microphone. It can be connected directly to sound boards for direct digital recording in stereo at studio quality. Near studio quality master recordings, suitable for CD reproductions, can be created. Files are encoded in popular MP3 formats which can be easily transferred to computer and emailed, or posted to websites for downloading.

The DMC Sermon Assistant SA 500 is available in 40GB, 60GB, 80GB and even 100GB capacities. The smaller (2.6" X 3.9" X 0.86", 6.3 oz) SA 800 is available with 20GB. A full list of features can be found at www.SermonAssistant.com.
