                       WITH ALL NASDAQ LISTING STANDARDS

SEATTLE, WA - AUGUST 31, 2004 - Loudeye Corp. (Nasdaq: LOUD, LOUDE), a worldwide
leader in business-to-business digital media solutions, reported the filing of
its Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2004. The Form 10-Q and Loudeye's
other recently filed documents can be obtained by visiting the SEC's website at
http://www.sec.gov.

Loudeye believes it has regained compliance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule
4310(c)(14) requiring the timely filing of its financial reports with the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Loudeye expects its common stock
will resume trading under the ticker symbol "LOUD" after Nasdaq determines
Loudeye has met applicable Nasdaq listing requirements.

Separately, Loudeye today announced that it has engaged Moss Adams LLP ("Moss
Adams") to serve as Loudeye's independent registered public accounting firm for
the fiscal year ending December 31, 2004.

Moss Adams LLP provides accounting, tax and consulting services to public and
private middle-market enterprises in many different industries. Founded in 1913,
and headquartered in Seattle, Washington, Moss Adams has offices in Washington,
Oregon and California. Moss Adams is now the 10th largest accounting and
consulting firm in the U.S., and the largest headquartered on the West Coast.

"We are pleased to announce our engagement of Moss Adams," said Larry Madden,
Loudeye's chief financial officer. "We will be working closely with Moss Adams
over the upcoming weeks and months to ensure a smooth transition to our new
independent accountants."

Loudeye's engagement of Moss Adams follows the previously announced resignation
of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC") as the company's independent registered
public accounting firm, effective on completion by PwC of its review of
Loudeye's second quarter 2004 financial statements.
