YANGAROO DMDS lanza concurso de Música “La Nueva Estrella de DMDS”

Febrero 01, 2012, Toronto -- YANGAROO Inc, la compañía líder en el sector de distribución de archivos digitales a medios de comunicación, ha anunciado hoy el lanzamiento de su concurso “La Nueva Estrella de DMDS” (Digital Media Delivery System). Esta iniciativa apoyaría a miles de músicos independientes que no tienen los recursos necesarios para conectarse con gente decisiva en las estaciones de radio y cadenas de televisión en EE.UU. y Canadá. Los músicos o grupos independientes que ganen el concurso recibirán una suscripción gratuita a un servicio llamado DMDS Pro, que es una cuenta digital que proporciona a los ganadores un conjunto de herramientas para distribuir música y vídeo a más de 3000 estaciones de radio y cadenas de televisión como MTV, VH1, BET, CMT, GAC, Fuse, MuchMusic, Telemundo, más un centenar de destinos adicionales.

"El internet hoy en día le permite a músicos independientes y artistas aficionados presentar su música a una gran cantidad de audiencia, a un bajo costo, sin la necesidad de un sello discográfico. Sin embargo tarde o temprano, un músico – aun – necesita del poder de los tradicionales medios de comunicación para conquistar el mundo" comento Johan Gil, Coordinador de Cuentas y Mercadeo Digital de Yangaroo DMDS. "Queremos ayudar a artistas de música siendo el ‘punto de conexión’ que ellos necesitan para  poder promocionarse en la radio y televisión. Sin embargo, lo más importante de nuestro papel es que creemos firmemente en el concepto de construir relaciones y estamos comprometidos en ayudar a hacer sueños realidad! Por ello, hemos creado este concurso con el fin de apoyar artistas que carecen del conocimiento de cómo conectarse con gente clave en la radio o televisión,  y/o que no poseen los recursos necesarios para llegar a estos medios”.

YANGAROO’s DMDS Launches “Rising Star” Music Competition

February 1, 2012, Toronto -- YANGAROO Inc, the industry’s leading secure digital media distribution company, today announced the launch of its online music contest “DMDS Rising Star.” This initiative will support the tens of thousands of independent musicians who do not have the necessary means to connect with key decision makers at radio stations and TV networks across the US and Canada. Independent musicians or groups who win the contest will receive a free DMDS Pro membership, which is YANGAROO’s advanced account offering, providing winners with the full suite of features and flexibility for delivering music and music video content to over 3000 radio stations, and television broadcasters such as MTV, VH1, BET, CMT, GAC, Fuse, MuchMusic, and more, plus over a hundred additional promotional destinations for review and airplay consideration.

“The Internet allows musicians and amateur artists to present their music to a huge audience at low cost without the need of a recording label. However, you still – sooner or later – need the power of mass media to conquer the world,” said Johan Gil, Online Marketing and Account Relations Coordinator, DMDS. “We are helping artists with ‘connecting the dots’ to the radio stations and TV networks! What's more, we strongly believe in relationships and making dreams come true! That’s why we have created this contest in order to support the talent of artists who lack the knowledge of getting to major broadcasters and/or do not possess the resources to

Coming Soon to DMDS: E-Z Downloads

When delivering music to radio for airplay consideration, ease of access can be paramount and we've got you covered.

DMDS is already the only digital radio delivery service to offer senders the option of providing no log-in one-click streams directly from email notifications, but we’ve taken it one step further: Easy, no-login downloads directly from email notifications. At no extra charge, recipients are provided with a big DOWNLOAD button on the notification providing WAV downloads for broadcast or further auditioning.

Here’s how it works:

Recipients can click PLAY NOW to open a player with full controls in their browser if they just want to listen, and can click DOWNLOAD to open their browser where WAV files can be downloaded with one click. This works not only for Singles, but full albums too.

Of course, these releases are still delivered to the recipients DMDS Library for all the info and advanced streaming and download options. Even if the email is lost or deleted, recipients can still find or be directed to the releases

We'd like to see you do all that with a CD in a padded envelope, an email with an mp3 attachment, or any other digital delivery service!
