NAPLES, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 30, 2001

QRS Music Technologies, Inc. (OTC:QRSM) announced today Mr. Gary LeMel, the President of Worldwide Music for Warner Bros., has been nominated to become a Director of the Company.

He will be elected to the Board of Directors at the next Meeting of Shareholders later this year.

Richard A. Dolan, Chairman and President, said: "We are delighted to have Mr. LeMel nominated to join our Board of Directors at this critical time in our growth. With installed base of approximately 25,000 Pianomation(TM) systems, our music library is becoming more important as a creative outlet and it is our most profitable product. Mr. LeMel will be able to help provide us with his experience in various areas of the music industry and in particular the creative side of the business. His extensive experience in music production will help provide us the base to expand our music selections and to excite our Pianomation(TM) users to find new ways to use their systems."

Mr. LeMel joined Warner Bros. in 1987 and is currently the President for Worldwide Music. He is best known for his work on some very successful soundtrack albums that include: The Big Chill and Batman, to Space Jam and City of Angles. He was also involved in The Bodyguard and You've Got Mail sound tracks. In the mid-Seventies, he was at First Artists, a production company founded by Barbra Streisand, Dustin Hoffman, Paul Newman, Steve McQueen and Sidney Poitier. After assembling the hit soundtrack to Streisand's "A Star is Born", he moved to Columbia Pictures where he developed the concept for what has became the modern movie soundtrack.

In addition to the corporate side of business, Mr. LeMel is also a performer. His debut Atlantic Records release, "MOONLIGHTING", pays tribute to one of Atlantic's greatest artists, the late Bobby Darin.

Currently, QRS Pianomation(TM) MIDI Music Library has about 35 categories that include: Big Band, Blues, Classical, Country, Dixieland, Gospel, Jazz, Latin, New Age, Piano Solo, Hits of the 30's, 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's, Television Hits, etc. Collectively there are about 2,750 tiles. Approximately 400 new titles are currently added every year.

The QRS Pianomation(TM) system can turn any piano into a reproducing player piano. A patented hardware and software process can store and transport Musical Instrument Digital Interface ("MIDI") information as an analog signal. This process gives QRS the ability to store, and wirelessly transmit, MIDI performance data in an analog format from a controller (CD, video, cassette, DVD, DAT or Minidisc) to the receiver on the piano. This creates numerous possibilities. For example, most off-the-shelf audio equipment has a left and right channel available for use. State-of-the-art technology permits QRS to store the digital signal in an analog format on the left channel of the software which operates those players. This leaves the right channel available for live prerecorded audio music, even vocal recordings. Pianomation(TM) blends them together in perfect harmony and perfect synchronization. The Pianomation(TM) MIDI System is the first product of its kind to "marry" analog and digital technology.
