JENKINTOWN, Pa., Sept. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- CDnow (Nasdaq: CDNW - news), the Internet's
number one music store, is confirmed as the industry leader, according to New York consulting firm
eMarketer, the authority on business online. CDnow (cdnow.com) has been ranked the number one
music store online in a new list of top 10 music outlets, which appraised more than 100 online music
sites based on criteria including selection, price, usability and presentation.
''If there's a way to make buying music on the Internet fun and easy, CDnow has it,'' says Jonathan
Jackson, an eMarketer analyst who regularly follows the music industry. ''Selling music is one of the
most mature e-commerce categories online, and CDnow clearly leads the way.''

are lots of companies which may understand, in theory, how to do business on the net but not all of
them get it. CDnow clearly gets it.''
''We pride ourselves on being the innovator of online music retailing. We created online shopping by
