TORONTO, ON - February 2001 - Confluent Technologies Inc., creator of the popular dual-platform SMIL authoring tool, Fluition has outfitted the Aporia Records (www.aporia-records.com) web site with 5 Fluition CDs. The Fluition CD concept is a great way to showcase CDs on the net as well as showing the capabilities of SMIL created with Fluition.

Aporia Records was streaming RealAudio files one at a time from their web site. Now with Virtual CD, Aporia Records can showcase a number of tracks as well as the cover art on the CD in one cohesive streaming presentation. Confluent Technologies is leading the way with innovative interactive streaming presentations such as those featured at Aporia Records.

"Confluent Technologies did a great job in designing unique streaming presentations with our CDs," states Gord Dimitrieff, CEO of Aporia Records. "They presented Fluition CD to us and we really liked the way the listener can experience a more compelling streaming audio presentation," adds Ian Krykorka, webmaster of the Aporia site.

Confluent Technologies embedded the Fluition CD, streamed in RealNetworks Inc.'s RealPlayer, into the Aporia Records web site maintaining a consistent look and feel with the existing Aporia site.
