YANGAROO Inc. (TSX-V: YOO, OTCBB: YOOIF), the industry's leading secure digital media distribution company, has integrated its Digital Media Distribution System (DMDS) with Powergold, the music scheduling software produced by Micropower Corporation.
As a result of this integration, thousands of Powergold Music Scheduling Software users at radio stations worldwide can now import new music available through YANGAROO’s DMDS directly into their music library. The new music imported from DMDS also includes the related track information.
YANGAROO’s DMDS is a web-based delivery system available free to the radio industry. It replaces the physical distribution of music, allowing radio stations throughout North America to receive broadcast-quality music and promotional materials digitally and securely from independent, as well as major, record labels.
“Thanks to the integration of DMDS with Powergold’s scheduling software, Powergold users will be able to quickly import music and the associated metadata from DMDS directly,” said John Heaven, President and CEO of YANGAROO. “They’ll save time by only having to save a track once and not having to retype information about the track downloaded.”
“The Integration with YANGAROO’s DMDS further expands Powergold’s flexibility,” explained Brandon Olvey, General Manager, Micropower Corporation. “It makes our scheduling software that much more user friendly.”
