On December 1st, 2008 a new option opened up for both consumers of music, and the producers of the music they love, when Sneaky Sound System and Gurrumul, amongst others, release their current albums on the revolutionary new DDA format.
Like a CD package, each DDA has album tracks, lyrics, liner notes/credits, photos and artwork. Unlike a CD package, a DDA can have hundreds of tracks (over varied file formats) and thousands of photos. And significantly, the DDA owner also gets their own space within the D:Net Media System - ‘myDDA’. Not just a back up of each user’s content, myDDA is a means to acquire new content, and access the content they own, from any internet enabled computer. Other online features include a non-stop music news service and exclusive artist forums - a great way to socially network with like-minded people. Importantly it’s all about content, which is owned by the consumer and stored locally and remotely for them. It’s not content they visit when online at someone else’s website. Each DDA features its own player, track list builder, media transfer unit (with a simple click to transfer playlists to iTunes > iPods and burn CDs), a video viewer, plus interaction with the users Facebook page!
Each DDA owner can also access their myDDA from their mobile phone - all the content THEY OWN plus news and their Forum posts and replies, on their own mobile myDDA application.
All for the price of a CD.
* Sneaky Sound System ‘2’
* Grafton Primary ‘EON’
* Skipping Girl Vinegar ‘Sift The Noise’
* Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu ‘Gurrumul’
* Various Artists ‘Home Grown Roots VOL3’ (featuring: Paul Kelly, John Butler, Ash Grunwald, Mia Dyson)
All available in all good record stores from November (distributed through MGM).
"In an age of varied options for the consumption of music - a la carte online sales like iTunes, CDs, vinyl, downloads direct to mobiles, subscription services, ad funded models.... there will never again be one dominate format for the recorded music business" predicts Murphy. "However, I’m confident that the DDA will quickly obtain a decent global market share of this business - it fills a niche that no other format/offering has so far and I believe it’s a niche that will suit many".

‘All About the roots’
From Newtown to Bryon Bay and all across Australia, the Home Grown Roots compilation offers the perfect blend of Aussie ‘Blues and Roots’ tunes.
Recently the world has witnessed an unprecedented resurgence of acoustic, blues, roots and reggae artists with the likes of Jack Johnson, Ben Harper, The Waifs and Australia’s favourite; JOHN BUTLER, who has now made it to the Home Grown Roots Compilation 3.
Showcasing Australia’s best vocals in the acoustic scene. Pouring out their hearts and souls; Home Grown Roots can be described as heart felt new age Australian folk. It is what modern blues and roots is all about.
“There’s a hammock, warm, viscous air, and the scuttle of a wave, heaving against the coral beach. Lie back to this outstanding compilation and you’ll dream summer” – Dave Hayes, Drum media.
