Gracenote(R) Announces New Mobile Music Solution Suite

In response to the rapidly growing demand for mobile devices with
music playing capability, Gracenote(R), a global leader in technology
and services that are an integral part of the digital media economy,
today announced its Mobile Music Solution Suite, a toolkit of products
that provides all the components for a next-generation entertainment
solution for handset manufacturers, carriers, and mobile content
providers. Gracenote's solution combines products and services for
simple content search and discovery, music recognition, playlisting,
and e-commerce, as well as allows for easy movement of music between a
PC application, online music store, and a mobile device.

Gracenote's unique mix of offerings seamlessly integrates the
capabilities of all three domains, and allows for powerful
functionality and compatibility between them that is unavailable
elsewhere in the mobile market. With 13 billion music queries
processed in 2006 alone, Gracenote is uniquely positioned to deliver
this unprecedented toolkit to handset makers and carriers, who can now
easily create richer mobile music experiences using handsets of any
class and catalogs of any size.

The Gracenote Mobile Music Solution Suite includes:

-- Music Recognition - Gracenote's Mobile MusicID(TM) for the
handset, and MusicID(TM) for the PC use multi-step recognition
methods to enable the industry standard in identification,
categorization and organization of digital music. Both feature
the Gracenote Global Media Database, the world's largest
database of music information, accessed by more than 200
million people annually.

-- Playlisting Capabilities - Gracenote Playlist(TM)
automatically generates digital music playlists and is the
only global solution that can facilitate uploading of content
from the PC to the mobile device via the touch of a button.
Gracenote offers a companion version for the handset that
allows the user to easily generate one-touch "More Like This"
playlists by simply selecting one or more songs or artists as
seeds. A mix of music from related artists and genres is then
returned to the listener. Users also have the ability to
create customized playlists on the PC - such as specific songs
for their gym routine, or lazy Sunday mornings - and make them
available on the handset.

-- Music Discovery - Gracenote Discover(TM) is a music
recommendation engine that offers high quality, multimodal
discovery of new tracks, albums and artists from within almost
any mobile music catalog, allowing users to easily find new
music via their mobile device or PC. Gracenote's recognition
and playlist technologies integrate with Discover, allowing
the users' current collection - any song, album or artist - to
be a seed for finding new music from the mobile content
catalog.

-- Enriched Content -Gracenote offers mobile users a richer music
experience by providing premium content - artist biographies,
album art, album reviews and full song lyrics - that can be
automatically delivered with music identified on a mobile
device or PC.

-- Music Search - Searching music catalogs is easy with
Gracenote's search capabilities. With more than 60 million
tracks in Gracenote's database, listeners have the ability to
quickly and easily learn more about their music and favorite
artists. Users simply type in the name of their favorite
artist, album or track - or may even type in a line from the
lyrics to a song - and are linked directly to the best content
in the store.

-- Link to Commerce - All of the above can be connected to mobile
e-commerce through Gracenote Link(TM), a comprehensive content
management system that seamlessly aggregates and enables
delivery of rich third-party content directly related to music
as it is playing.

-- Professional Services - This complete toolkit is provided as
an integrated set through Gracenote's Professional Services
organization. With more than 10 years of experience in
implementing music features for PC, Online, Consumer
Electronics, Auto, and Mobile products, Gracenote's team has
intimate knowledge of the design, technology, and
implementation challenges around music and can help customers
quickly launch integrated mobile and PC experiences.

"Consumer demand for the combined convenience of a mobile phone
and music player has increased dramatically. Handset, carriers and
mobile content providers can no longer think of the mobile device,
online music store, and PC as separate domains," said Marc Theeuwes,
director, mobile products, Gracenote. "Gracenote's Mobile Music
Solution Suite addresses this trend and accelerates the potential of
mobile music through the integration of those three domains, bringing
them together in a way that makes the best use of the PC while also
utilizing the mobile phone's communication and connectivity
capabilities."

"Sony Ericsson continues to set the bar high for the music
experience on its Walkman(R) phones, and by powering out TrackID(TM)
feature with Gracenote's Mobile Music ID, we enable our customers to
discover music whenever and wherever they want," Jose-Maria
Bescos-Caceres, global product manager for Sony Ericsson. "In
addition, we have integrated Gracenote's music identification
technology into our mobile phone music management software,
Disc2Phone. Combined, these services enable Walkman phone users to
easily manage their mobile music and ease content discovery seamlessly
between the mobile device and PC."

Gracenote's Mobile Music Solution Suite will be available globally
this Summer. For more information about Gracenote's Mobile Solution
