Through this agreement, users of Qtrax will be able to access songs from the SONY BMG MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT catalog of recordings for a predefined number of times. Each time a consumer plays a track, the Qtrax player will also offer fans click-to-buy purchase options.

"We are pleased to announce that we have completed this agreement with Qtrax, and look forward to working with them as part of our ongoing campaign to build new opportunities for our artists within the digital marketplace," commented Thomas Hesse, President, Global Digital Business & U.S. Sales, SONY BMG MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT.

Allan Klepfisz, President and CEO of Brilliant Technologies, said, "We are extremely pleased to have Sony BMG on board. Qtrax has received support and indeed enthusiasm among stakeholders in all sectors of the music industry. The basis for the enthusiasm differs from organization to organization and therein lies, I believe, the potential of Qtrax. Some see it as trailblazing the ad-supported model and allowing the possibility that in future music downloading will be paid for, in part or in whole, by advertisers. Others see it as an effective means of encouraging consumers to sample and subsequently purchase music. Still others see it as the ultimate tool against piracy."
