Mediaport Entertainment to Offer Music From EMI Artists Through MediaATMs(TM)

NEW YORK, Nov. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Mediaport Entertainment, Inc., the nation's first company to deploy unmanned point-of-sale kiosks, called MediaATMs(TM), today announced an agreement to offer consumers music from EMI's prestigious recorded music repertoire through Mediaport's retail kiosks, MediaATMs(TM) and its website (www.mediaport.com). Mediaport's MediaATM(TM) is an unmanned point-of-sale kiosk store that delivers digital entertainment content such as music, to customers in a just in time, user-friendly manner.

Mediaport's MediaATMs are being deployed at nearly 40 universities, 15 military bases, and at two Fortune 500 retailers. Mediaport has also signed agreements with Brazin Ltd., one of Australia's top specialty store retailers, and NeoProducts, recognized as the second largest kiosk manufacturer in the world, to deploy Mediaport's MediaATMs(TM) internationally.

Using a MediaATM(TM), consumers can select albums or create customized compilations of EMI artists, including Coldplay, Norah Jones, Gorillaz, Joss Stone, Keith Urban and Yellowcard, which can be burned onto CDs, or downloaded directly to a portable device via a USB connection. Additionally, consumers can download digital tracks securely from Mediaport's Internet-based e-Music store and transfer them to portable devices. Mediaport first introduced the MediaATM(TM) with its innovative patent pending technology in Salt Lake City in November 2003.

"Our agreement with Mediaport illustrates EMI Music's commitment to give consumers access to our music wherever they might want to purchase it," said Ronn Werre, President, EMI Music Marketing. "These new MediaATMs will let fans get the music they want in a location convenient to them while also giving them the ability to customize their own compilations."

Said Helen Seltzer, Mediaport CEO, "The concept behind our company is simple: we bring digital content to the consumer. Our customers have told us that they want music by EMI's artists. Now, thanks to our agreement with EMI, our consumers have the ability to buy EMI's music, when and where they want."

Mediaport has also signed an agreement with Loudeye Corporation for content services, and unveiled a new MediaATM(TM) design this week in Los Angeles.
