Christian Majors Sign New Agreements and Renewals with Play MPE(R)

Warner, Sony BMG and EMI Christian Label Groups Choose Play MPE(R)

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Destiny Media Technologies (BULLETIN BOARD: DSNY) is pleased to announce paid commercial agreements are in place with Curb, EMI CMG, INO, Integrity, Provident and Word, collectively representing 100% of the Christian major labels. These labels use Destiny's premiere digital distribution system, Play MPE(R), to securely move pre-release music to radio stations and other trusted recipients.

Brian Dishon, VP National Promotions, Provident Label Group, remarks "Sometimes it's scary how technology can change our behavior in such a large-scale way without us even being aware that it is happening so efficiently or so quickly. This is the case with Play MPE(R), and it is a good thing!"

According to Dishon, Play MPE(R) has changed the way they do business. "We used to have to manufacture a CD and wait 30 days to ship a single out to radio. Just last week we were delivered a mastered single around 2 pm and it was in the system and sent to radio by 4 pm and we had an 'add' on the song the following morning!"

Derek Jones, VP Promotional Marketing, Word Label Group also gives kudos to the system. "We love PLAY MPE(R)! It has revolutionized the way we deliver music to radio ... quick and quality downloads that are safe and secure!"

"Play MPE(R) is the sole standard of digital delivery for the Christian format," said Dean Ernst, VP of MPE Operations. "This format is a great example of how an industry can move from physical CD to digital when it is done in an organized and collective manner. We are grateful for the continued support and thank both labels and radio for making us the clear and only choice for digital delivery."

Play MPE(R) is the only system to deliver HD audio from source to destination at high download speeds without conversion to a lower quality format such as WMA. Radio stations receive the latest music instantly without sacrificing audio quality. It provides content owners the choice of locking releases to recipient machines or allowing the songs to be copied. It embeds a digital watermark that doesn't affect audio quality and survives compression and conversion into other audio formats, including analog.

Play MPE(R) has become the delivery standard for Christian radio with 100% of Christian reporting radio stations installed with the system. So far this year, these six major Christian labels have generated well over 200,000 transactions (536 singles, 355 compilations, 57 albums and 8 box sets).
