CHICAGO, April 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Tunes.com, the Internet's definitive
music hub site, today announced the launch of BigVideo, a new broadband video section on RollingStone.com. BigVideo is designed for users with high-speed Web access and was created in collaboration with Microsoft, using the newest version of its Windows Media Technologies. BigVideo is the latest in a series of broadband content offerings from
Tunes.com.

"BigVideo turns a high bandwidth PC into a TV-quality video jukebox,"
said Howard A. Tullman, chairman and CEO of Tunes.com. "And by adding
the Windows Media Player to our repertoire, we are giving consumers
more options and extending our technology support across the board."

RollingStone.com's BigVideo section boasts TV-quality resolution for an initial collection of nearly 100 music videos available on demand. The section has been created for the growing numbers of users with
broadband Internet access speeds of at least 300 Kilobits per second
(Kbps), more than 10 times the speed of most 28.8 Kbps modem
connections. BigVideo's selections are available for the Windows Media Player and will be streamed over INTERVU Inc.'s high-performance
dispersed network, ensuring immediate delivery from the nearest
geographic point to RollingStone.com's viewers.<b/>
