New DDEX Standards

DDEX is happy to announce the availability of a number of new standards:

• The Standard for the Communication of Media Enrichment and Description Information (MEAD) is intended to allow the communication of "rich" metadata about music to offer enhanced user experiences, including for voice activated music devices. To read more about what MEAD can be used for (and how) please have a look here;
• A number of new Profiles for the Digital Sales Reporting Standard (DSR):
  • for financial reporting of sales and/or usages to record companies;
  • for the communication of master lists to musical work licensors; and
  • Simplified variants for the Basic Audio, UGC and Audio-visual Profiles ("Single-Record Block Variants"). A short overview of the benefits and drawbacks of Single-Record Block Variants is provided here.
