24bit Audio Support

If your profession involves broadcasting or reviewing music, it's likely you prefer to receive the best quality audio possible. For years, DMDS has been the only delivery system of new music providing recipients with uncompressed WAV files. Other systems provide downloads in a proprietary compressed format that can be 'exported' to WAV, others are MP3 only. DMDS now offers support for digital audio in 24bit, 48/96 kHz (CD is 16bit, 44.1kHz). If audio quality is important to you, DMDS is the music delivery system for you.

Dashboard

By default, DMDS opens on the Library page. This is to give you instant access to the newest releases, but we don't want you to miss out on The Dashboard. Simply click the big DASHBOARD button at the top of the page.

The Dashboard is your information centre: View the organizations your associated with, the DMDS lists you're on, and your email for this account. There are also modules on the right that let you view and jump right to the latest releases, view chart info and headlines from FYI Music News, and manage your downloads and playlists.

The Dashboard also serves as a repository for all the DMDS notifications/eNotes you've received. If there's info you need from a DMDS notification you've deleted from your email, you can still view it from your Dashboard. If you have your notification preference set to ‘digest' (more on digests later), you can still view the individual notifications here.

Digest Emails

If you're overwhelmed by the number of DMDS notification emails you receive on a daily basis, we have an easy and convenient solution for you: Simply change your notification frequency preference from ‘immediate' to ‘daily' or ‘weekly'. ‘Daily' will consolidate all your notifications for that day into a single email that still includes pertinent release information and listen buttons. ‘Weekly' will do the same, but you'll only get one notification every Monday morning. Here's how:

1. Click Preferences from the top-right of your page.
2. Click the Notification Options tab on your Preferences page.
3. Change the Notification Frequency dropdown to Daily or Weekly.
4. Click Save Preferences.
5. Done!
