(COMTEX) ItsFun.com Chooses MP3 Format for Downloading Music Firm Aquires the Sevices of Marketing Guru Warren Guth ( MARKET WIRE )

PHOENIX, AZ, Mar. 09, 2004 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- ItsFun.com, Inc., a
subsidiary of Advanced Solutions and Technologies, Inc. (OTC: ADVK), has
selected the popular MP3 platform through which the consumer can download music
purchased on the new web site. Officials of the company said they chose MP3
because of the ease of use by both the artist or label and the end user. MP3
also has a proven record of reliability and good results. A spokesman said they
are leaving options open for perhaps using other formats in the future.

Artists and labels using ItsFun.com to promote and sell music will receive 95%
of the gross proceeds from each sale, less hard costs involved. Hard costs could
include MP3 licensing fees and credit card fees. ItsFun.com will retain only 5%
from each sale, which will go to site maintenance and improvement, as well as
staffing.

To further assist fledgling artists and labels in promoting and selling their
offerings, ItsFun.com has brought veteran marketing executive Warren Guth on
board. Guth served with Dun & Bradstreet for some 25 years. He was a Senior
Account Executive with that prestigious firm. Mr. Guth was also President of
Xanada-One, publisher of a sales training book entitled "Sales Reality Equals
Freedom." He will focus his efforts on developing real-world marketing tools for
artists and independent labels. Mr. Guth has considerable experience in this
area, having headed three record labels himself in the late '90s. "It's about
the reality of our marketplace," said Leslieann Norem, spokesperson of the
company.

ItsFun.com is a new and exciting online digital music distribution service
offering the artists, bands, songwriters, producers, publishers and independent
labels the necessary tools and pricing to control their own destiny. ItsFun.com
pays the highest return offered today in any distribution models including the
Apple i-store, CD Baby, The Orchard or Amazon. Higher than any of the major
independent distributors, hands down!

As an introductory offer, the company is offering to waive the normal
registration fee for the first 2,500 who register. Those fortunate enough to get
in under the wire will save the usual fee of $29.95. The website for ItsFun.com
is expected to be up and running full tilt on March 15, 2004.
