Press Release Body:
NEW YORK and PARSIPPANY, N.J., February 19, 2008 - For many people, the idea of a
car trip without music is unthinkable. From compact disks to MP3 players to
satellite radio, travelers always want to bring along the perfect soundtrack for
their road trip. Now eMusic, the world's largest digital retailer of independent
music, is teaming up with Avis to offer free music with every car rental.

Avis renters can choose from eMusic's vast catalogue of more than three million
music tracks and will receive five free tracks for every rental up to four days in
length, and ten tracks for rentals more than five days in length. Avis will also
offer renters who complete a reservation the eMusic free "Daily Download."

To help them get the most out of their travel, eMusic and Avis will provide renters
with exclusive playlists developed by dedicated "eMusicologists" themed for holiday
weekends, specific destinations and more. Recent playlists have included "Country
Roads," featuring Taylor Swift and Patsy Cline, "American Roots," including jazz and
blues masters such as John Coltrane and John Lee Hooker, and a variety of Christmas
holiday playlists. Avis customers can also sign up for an eMusic free trial and use
the service to discover more great music and audiobooks for their next business or
leisure trip, and because eMusic provides all tracks in the universally compatible
MP3 format, they can easily transfer those tracks to any digital music device or
burn to CD for use in their car, home or portable music player.

eMusic\'s artists include indie rockers such as Arcade Fire and Spoon, legendary
performers Johnny Cash and Creedence Clearwater Revival and seminal jazz masters
such as Bill Evans, John Coltrane and Miles Davis. eMusic\'s long-standing devotion
to authentic sounds and adult customers led Avis to partner with the company as its
exclusive music partner.

"We're always looking for ways to enhance the rental experience and help make trips
more enjoyable for customers," said Becky Alseth, senior vice president of marketing
for Avis Budget Group, parent company of Avis. "Music and driving go hand-in-hand,
so eMusic is the perfect way for our customers to find songs to capture the mood of
their trip. It's just another way that 'We Try Harder' to make each trip memorable."

"eMusic is looking forward to helping Avis customers create the ideal soundtrack for
their next business or pleasure trip," said Kip Morgan, eMusic chief marketing
officer. "Both Avis and eMusic focus on adventurous adult customers, and eMusic
offers them the chance to discover more than three million tracks of expertly
curated independent rock, jazz, classical, electronic and world music."
