In-Store Manufacturing-on-Demand (isMOD™) System To Offer EMI CMG Music Content via Quest isMOD^TM Kiosks

Abilene, Texas - September 26, 2007 - The Quest isMOD™ in-store content kiosk created by Bookstore Manager^® Software and Just In Time Digital (JITD) will now feature content from EMI Christian Music Group (CMG) allowing Christian retailers to offer consumers the ability to create and purchase music compilations and full albums in CD form.

This addition will make EMI CMG's entire digital repertoire available as full albums and as individual tracks at Christian retail locations equipped with the Quest isMOD™ system.

EMI CMG distributed artists include such top-selling names as Chris Tomlin, tobyMac, Relient K, Steven Curtis Chapman, Amy Grant, Nichole Nordeman, Jeremy Camp, Newsboys and Bill & Gloria Gaither, among others.

In addition, the agreement offers EMI CMG catalog titles from such pioneering Christian artists as 2nd Chapter of Acts, BeBe & CeCe Winans, Phil Keaggy, Michael Card, Twila Paris, Richard Smallwood, Steve Green, Whiteheart, Steve Camp and Carman, among many others.

"This isn't about replacing a label's CDs on the shelf," explains JITD's founder Paul LaRue. "It's about helping Christian retailers increase their music sales by providing their customers both front list and deep availability on backlist artist titles. Until now, retailers haven't had an efficient, cost effective way to market and sell a virtual inventory of music within their store."

Bookstore Manager founder Randy Voorhees is excited about the opportunity. "Since Quest isMOD^TM works with any point-of-sale system" Voorhees explains, "it doesn't matter if a retailer is selling accompaniment tracks, an artist's full album, or personalized children's CDs. Quest isMOD^TM offers the ultimate on-demand inventory option for Christian stores."

More Than Artist Titles

In this digital era, many retailers have found a new way to compete with Quest isMOD^TM as it provides a vast inventory of personalized children's music where the licensed characters talk directly to the child, calling them by name during the songs. Characters include VeggieTales, Disney, Sesame Workshop and more.

In Store Manufacturing Boosts Sales

Chuck Wallington of Christian Supply in Spartanburg recently commented "We've found the Quest isMOD^TM burn system extremely easy to use and sold over 300 accompaniment tracks in our first 60 days of usage."

Wallington went on to say "I'm convinced that MOST, if not ALL of these sales would have been lost were it not for this system in our store."

Easy To Use 3 Step Process

Quest isMOD's^TM easy to use 3 step customer process allows the customer to burn CDs in 3 minutes or less. CDs are professionally burned in full-color with a smudge proof finish that includes the store's branded information.

In addition, the commercial grade equipment not only offers a reliable and automated process, but there's no special expertise required to operate it, which makes training a store's staff quick!
