MusicMarker(TM) Makes Identifying and Finding Music Easier Than Ever Before

New York, NY (PR Leap) March 30, 2006 — MusicMarker Ltd. introduces a sure hit: a special MusicMarker button on portable devices that lets people know what's playing around them. It's happened to everyone—a great tune comes on the radio, starts playing in a cafe, or is the hot new theme song of a TV show, and as the song plays, nobody knows who the artist is or what the song is called. This is the moment when pressing the MusicMarker button serves to satisfy the curiosity of listeners.

By pairing the MusicMarker button with the exclusive MusicMarker online service, MusicMarker Ltd. is the only company to offer a simple, easy, and portable music identification service. The service is as simple as pressing the button, docking the device, and checking the identification results.

It works like this: when an unknown song is playing within earshot, pressing the MusicMarker button captures a ten second audio sample of the song. Upon syncing the portable device, these audio recordings are sent to the MusicMarker online service for identification. Each time an audio sample is uploaded to the service, the artist and title are immediately displayed.

Portable device buyers can expect portable devices with the built-in MusicMarker button to hit the market in Q2 of 2006. The first device will be the Venzero ONE portable media player from Venzero, Inc. By including the MusicMarker button, Venzero, Inc. offers a highly differentiated product to digital media consumers.

Venzero ONE customers will be the first users of the MusicMarker service. In addition to music identification, MusicMarker Ltd. plans to return direct web links to stream, download, and purchase identified songs. As a result, music fans can buy or listen to their newly discovered music at the click of a button. With MusicMarker, identifying and finding new music is at the tip of a finger.

"After close to a year of preparation, we're excited to attract portable device buyers to new devices that have our button and offer access to our exclusive music identification service," commented Armin G. Schmidt, Managing Director at MusicMarker Ltd. "The feedback from device manufacturers and beta users has been overwhelmingly positive. We're looking forward to the upcoming launch of the first portable device to support MusicMarker."
