Seattle, WA - March 2, 2001 - Loudeye Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: LOUD), a
leading provider of digital media solutions, today announced the completion of
its acquisition of privately-held DiscoverMusic, the leading provider of song

both Windows Media and RealAudio(TM) formats.  This service is built upon a
robust infrastructure platform that served over 500 million song samples in the
past year.

will accelerate our music subscription strategy," said David Bullis, president
and CEO, Loudeye Technologies, Inc. "We expect the integration of our businesses
