For Release: June 25, 2008
WINNIPEG, CANADA – OMT Technologies, developers of leading radio automation & logging software, has integrated its iMediaTouch Radio Automation Software with the YANGAROO Inc. (TSX-V: YOO, OTCBB: YOOIF) Digital Media Distribution System (DMDS), the industry's leading secure digital media distribution system.
As a result of this integration, iMediaTouch users at 2,500 radio stations throughout North America can now import new music available through YANGAROO’s DMDS directly into their iMediaTouch music library. New music is imported with cart chunk track information and album artwork using the iMediaImport module.
YANGAROO’s DMDS is a web-based delivery system available free to the radio industry that replaces the physical distribution of music. It allows radio stations throughout North America to receive broadcast-quality music and promotional materials digitally and securely from independent and major record labels.
“DMDS’ integration with iMediaTouch will further streamline the process of getting new music from record labels and artists to airplay,” said John Heaven, President & CEO of YANGAROO. “It will provide stations with the most up-to-date information on the music directly in their libraries and seamlessly provide images and meta-data for display with their web radio services.”
“Integrating iMediaTouch with YANGAROO’s DMDS service was an important initiative for our customers,” explained Marieke Wijtkamp, President and Chief Operating Officer of OMT. “DMDS provides a simple and effective way for radio stations to keep their music library current and accurate. One of our key objectives in 2008 is to integrate with a variety of complementary product providers that add value for our customers. The DMDS service is a perfect fit for that objective.”
