"QTRAX is a magical and game-changing service that revolutionizes the way fans consume digital music," said QTRAX President and CEO Allan Klepfisz. "We will provide a vastly better service than unauthorized sites with superior technology, alluring and vast content, and free music that won't get you arrested. QTRAX makes other services look as outdated as the cassette tape."

QTRAX has created a dynamic new music distribution model that represents a paradigm shift in the way people consume music, how the industry can monetize their catalogs and how artists get paid. The service is available immediately at http://www.qtrax.com/ and brings consumers the following unique features:

   -- A new P2P environment that allows users to search through millions of      high quality tracks for particular songs, bands or albums and legally      download as many as they want for free;   -- Seamless integration with portable and mobile devices, allowing users      to transfer downloaded tracks quickly and easily;   -- A special section called "Last Night," where users can search for newly      added tracks from live concerts that were recorded the night before;   -- A colorful and diverse array of content beyond music, including: music      videos, artist documentaries, interviews, album reviews, artist      recommendation lists, and biographies among other things;   -- Exclusive songs and content from artists on profile pages where fans      can access the latest news relative to artists, purchase DVDs, ring-      tones and concert tickets;   -- A media player with which listeners can easily keep and organize their      entire music library, with the ability to import tracks from other      locations, including iTunes;   -- A Firefox-based Internet browser, from which users can visit other web      destinations while concurrently downloading tracks without having to      open additional windows;   -- A new DRM system that counts the number of times particular tracks have      been played in order to fairly compensate artists and right holders,      without restricting consumer use;   -- A guarantee that users will never download spyware, adware or spoofs.    

QTRAX represents a fresh opportunity for the advertising community as well. Though vibrant and heavily trafficked, P2P environments have long been ignored by advertisers because of copyright infringement and brand proximity to unrestricted file-sharing. QTRAX offers advertisers a safe, legal, and authorized place to reach both mass and targeted audiences with custom ad and sponsorship opportunities.
