REGARDING MCPS/PRS SEPTEMBER 15 STATEMENT

NEW YORK and LONDON, Sept. 18, 2006 -- We refer to this past Friday’s press release from MCPS/PRS relating to eMusic's simultaneous launch in all 25 EU countries. We would like to point out that a timely launch of our eMusic service has been made possible by our license with Buma/Stemra, the Dutch authors’ and songwriters’ society, and in the UK it has been launched with the co-operation of the Mechanical-Copyright Protection Society and the Performing Right Society (MCPS/PRS) and their members.

While no further talks are currently contemplated between eMusic and MCPS/PRS, we look forward to scheduled talks between our licensing partner Buma/Stemra and MCPS/PRS to resolve any issues that MCPS has regarding our current license.

Our simultaneous launch in all 25 EU member states has enabled us to sell the music of songwriters and authors throughout the EU and the world, to citizens of all 25 EU nations, and to pay every songwriter and music publisher their rightful royalties for this use.
