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, released 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

"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 dominant format for the recorded music business" predicts Scott 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".
