:::::::::::: 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. :::::::::::::::: |
