Qtrax Appoints J. Christopher Roe to Chief Technology Officer

>NEW YORK, Sept. 10, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Qtrax (www.qtrax.com), the world's
first ad-supported, free and legal peer-to-peer music service, today announced
the appointment of J. Christopher Roe as Chief Technology Officer. Roe comes to
Qtrax from Interpublic Group's AFG Interactive, where he managed multiple
information and communication systems across its global network. Immediately
prior to AFG Interactive, Roe served as Chief Information Officer of
NewYorkCity.com, the leading site for information about New York City hotels,
restaurants, nightlife, tours and events. His technology vision and leadership
helped the organization improve cost effectiveness, service quality and business
development through a series of Web initiatives.

In his new role, Roe will guide Qtrax through its launch later this year by
structuring the implementation of the state-of-the-art technology essential to
the company's unique business model, which will exploit the dynamic nexus
between interactive advertising and intellectual property.

"To build the largest virtual record shop in the world requires exceptional
imagination, talent and experience," said Qtrax CEO Allan Klepfisz. "Chris's
well-established reputation as a leader within the tech community makes him an
extremely fitting match for Qtrax and our pioneering music discovery service. We
will cannibalize the illegal services not only by providing a vastly superior
form of free with much more extensive free content, but also by leapfrogging
them in technology."

"I am extremely excited to join Qtrax at this critical moment in the company's
development stage," said newly appointed Qtrax CTO, J. Christopher Roe. "Qtrax
offers a unique and very exciting opportunity to alter the landscape of the
entertainment industry and effect real change for the benefit of the both the
creative community and the consumer."

Roe's early leadership experience as an Outward Bound instructor and Search and
Rescue Wilderness EMT provided Roe with the perfect foundation to manage the
strategic development of IT in support of corporate objectives. As an executive
producer for Vivendi Universal, AOL, IBM and USA Networks, Roe was responsible
for the management and implementation of technology initiatives directly to
corporate communications and public relations.
