:::::::::::: Starting 1rst April MAE represented by Zebralution in the iTunes stores at an improved quality (256kb). The MAE Partner Zebralution and his technical team has been preparing for this step for a considerable time, so that the delivery of new releases already fits the iTunes specifications for the new service. Parts of the older back catalogue are now being redelivered in the new format. How much time the transformation into higher quality will take and when all releases will be available as 256kb files, lies in the hands of the Apple technical staff in Cupertino. By the way: a special feature of the new deal is the possibility for all US iPhone owners to purchase self created ringtones from the iTunes Plus repertoire and upload those on their iPhone. This is part of the agreement and can’t be separately enabled or disabled. ::::::::::: |

:::::::::::::::: IFPI Digital Music Report 2008: The IFPI Digital Music Report for 2008 underlines the steady growth of the digital music market and the growing importance of digital music distribution. In the US 30 % of all music recordings have been sold through digital retailers in 2007. In the UK 77,6 million tracks have been sold online or mobile in the last year; a 47 % growth compared to 2006. In Germany the digital market increased by 38 %. And in South Korea digital sales even overtook physical sales in 2007, covering 60 % of the whole music market. Amongst others, the increasing figures are based on the technical development. The rapidly rising number of broadband lines (350 million, up 23 % on 2006), the establishment of cell phones with integrated music player and the steadily growing turnover of portable devices led to a launch of hundreds of digital music services (from less than 50 in 2003, to more than 500 services in 2007). 1,7 billion legal tracks have been downloaded at these services in 2007 – a growth of 53 % on 2006. In less than three years the worldwide digital share of all recorded music climbed from 2 % in 2004, to around 15 % in 2007. Source: www.ifpi.org :::::::::::::::: |

:::::::::::::::: Chart registration of download only singles: As reported in a previous newsletter, sales of download only products count for the German media control single-chart since July 2007. This affects all music which is solely distributed through the internet and has no physical counterpart. In this connection it’s important, that you inform us about the download exclusivity when providing us with the metadata of a relevant single release (implying marketing and promo efforts, that aim at a chart entry). Hereupon we care for the chart registration, which has to be done 10 days ahead of the release date, latest. :::::::::::::::: |

 MAE wants to create and realize new ways of impression, exploitation and consumation of music for musicians, authors, music companies, Partner and consuments working as partners. MAE will redesign upto 2009 the professional Music Distribution and Edition work for Artists. In our opinion this is the only way, especially for artists, bands, singers, songwriters, labels, authors and publishers to reach a broad audience. MAE will, using own platforms as well, create new models of added value in cooperation with its artists and partners to minimize dependencies.
MAE realises the framework for the realization of these ideas. Therefore MAE is owned by all members, not only the founders and partners. Because of this, all artist that enter a contract with MAE are viewed as members. The contracts reflect this in being flexible and open although they have to meet the requirements of applicable law of each country. Without that publishing of songs or videos wouldn't be possible. Without distinct assignment MAE has no right to publish the intellectual property of artists.
For the year 2009 we look forward not only to reach but to extend our goal of welcoming at least 500 new artists, bands, singers, songwriters and partners and also to meet thousands enthusiasts, fans and multipliers for MAE artists and partner labels.
With our new ideas of Network Management and news Platforms like MaeGazin, Mae-World we will implement a new ability of professional Marketing and self Marketing. If you're interested send us our music, songs and information about us to MusicArtEmotions (see contact). It will be an honour and pleasure to hear from you.
Your MAE
