Issue #3 - Friday October 30, 2009
If you have any specific questions you would like us to cover or have any feedback, please let us know by simply replying to this message or email our support staff at support@dmds.com.
One-off Contact Additions
Based on your feedback, we've added a new feature that makes it faster and easier to make small updates to your private lists. Now you can simply type in the contact's name and email and instantly add them. Here's how:
- Go MANAGER > LISTS
- Click the row of the list you want to add to and select 'Import Contact To List' from the Command menu at the right of the screen.
- Enter the contact's first/last name and email then click Submit.
- Done!
Refined Destinations Page
You've probably already noticed that we've refined the way the Destinations page looks, feels, and functions. We've made it much easier for you to reference the contents of the various lists, organizations and contacts you add as destinations to a release.
We've also made it easier for you to export the destinations associated with a list via a PDF. You can utilize this for your own records or send out to your reps for review, consideration and follow up.
Ever wanted to create a list of BDS and Mediabase monitored Alternative stations? Try our new and improved Advanced Search:
- Add a list by selecting 'Organizations' from the 'Add Contacts From' dropdown.
- Click 'Advanced Search and select Alternative from the BDS/Mediabase monitored dropdowns and click Search at the top of the window.
You can use the Advanced Search to make instant lists based on geographic location, format, monitored panel, and even by job title (contacts only).
Audiophile Support
Ever get requests for music as 24bit, 48/96 kHz WAV files (CD audio is 16bit, 44.1kHz)? DMDS has been the only system to deliver completely uncompressed (not even ‘lossless') digital music and now it's the only system compatible with better-than-CD quality and the increased dynamic range lauded by audio quality enthusiasts. Just upload and add your 24bit tracks to releases the same way you would any track, but be careful to whom you send it! 24bit audio isn't playable in most playback software like iTunes or Windows Media Player.
