MediaMouth Launches First Music Store Inside Facebook(TM)

New Music Gifts(TM) Application Allows Users to Buy Music and Create Custom CDs Directly From Their Profile Page

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Best known for its retail custom CD burning kiosks, MediaMouth, previously named Digital Kiosk Technologies, today announced a new name, a new look and a new application for Facebook.

With more than 90 percent of music in the U.S. today still consumed on physical CDs, MediaMouth combines the choice and accessibility of digital music with the convenience of a CD. Through the easy MediaMouth user interface, retail kiosk customers can browse by song, album or artist and create and burn a custom CD on demand that is uniquely theirs. MediaMouth's music is DRM-free, fully licensed and Red Book audio quality, ensuring that the discs play in any CD player, and the tracks can be ripped and put onto any MP3 player just the same as pre-packaged CDs. Songs sell for 99 cents each, and each CD holds up to 80 minutes of music.

MediaMouth's new Music Gifts(TM), brand music application for Facebook, is the first and only music store application on Facebook that allows users to buy and gift individual music tracks and create custom mix CDs directly from their profile page, as well as share music clips and playlists with their Facebook friends. The new Music Gifts(TM) service is secure and legal with no subscription fees and no user restrictions. Once the application is loaded on your Facebook page, you can create your own custom CD online and MediaMouth will burn and ship the CD directly to the purchaser or to the person of their choice, Facebook member or not, anywhere in the U.S.

"The name change to MediaMouth signals a significant shift in our focus going forward. With an extremely stable, well-tested and proven retail platform in place, we are now expanding beyond physical kiosks into online applications, and next, beyond music into multi-media content", said Philip Meyer, CEO of MediaMouth. "For Facebook, our Music Gifts(TM) application is very unique -- it's the only way to create a custom mixed CD right from your Facebook page -- you can gift a favorite track to a friend or create and send up to 80 minutes of assorted songs on a custom CD.

MediaMouth has direct licensing agreements in place with Universal, EMI, Warner and many independent labels, and is in the process of expanding to include other labels over the next several months.

MediaMouth will begin to re-brand its Disc-Go(R) Digital Studio CD burning kiosks in the coming months with the new MediaMouth(TM) service mark, look and feel. The Disc-Go(R) kiosks are located in over 50 locations nationwide and provide retailers with an in-store, on-demand custom CD burning system with an inventory of over 900,000 songs and growing.
