Choosing The Best Sampling Rate
Many of you have called and asked what the difference is between a 22khz D.A.W.N. download and one at 44.1khz. The first difference is price. The 22khz files are priced approximately 60% of the 44.1khz files. The most important difference though is quality. 44.1khz is “CD Quality” (20-20,000 hz frequency response) while our 22khz downloads are more nearly “FM Radio Quality” (30- 11,000 hz). Many applications do not require the best quality (e.g. message on hold telephone programs) and so 22khz is the cost effective choice. And in skilled hands a 22khz file can often be tweaked to “recover” some of the higher frequencies with judicious EQ. While we recommend downloading the best quality initially rather than massaging files, we know that real world budgets often dictate choosing 22khz. Budget considerations aside, however, when you select 44.1khz on D.A.W.N. you get more format choices: 44.1hz / 48khz .wavs in addition to .mp3, .mp4 (AAC) and QuickTime compressed files at 44.1khz. 22khz downloads on D.A.W.N. are available only in .mp3.

New Playlist Feature on www.dawnmusic.com
Great News! We've added a new playlist feature on our single track download site: www.dawnmusic.com
What Is A D.A.W.N. Playlist?
The D.A.W.N. Playlist system is a great way to organize music for all your various projects or just to keep track of music or SFX you like or may want to use in the future. When you find a selection you think might work, you can add it to playlist and then name the playlist for the project you’re working on (e.g. XYZ Co. New Product Rollout Show). Whenever you find new tunes, you can add them to an existing playlist or create a new one. You can also change a playlist name to update it for another project by typing the new title into the “name playlist” field at the bottom of an open playlist. If you’re working with others on a project or need client approval for example, you can simply e-mail a playlist— across the hall or around the world. You can even e-mail a playlist to yourself as a reminder or idea irker. Every tune is reviewable by clicking the .mp3 “forward triangle”. You can also buy a track from a playlist by clicking the “Buy Track” button. You can also delete tunes from a playlist or delete an entire playlist as you refine your music needs and preferences.
How do I get started using D.A.W.N. Playlists?
Getting set up for D.A.W.N. Playlists is quick and simple. Click “add to playlist” under the “buy track” button in your search results. You will be taken to a sign in page. If you’re new to the process, click where it says “click here to register”. Simply enter your e-mail address and a password of your choosing and then submit. When you want to review your existing playlists, create a new playlist or e-mail a playlist, log in with your e-mail address and password. You’ll be able to log in any time you like 24/7/365.

Buy A Library--You May Save on Your 2008 Taxes
So you want a bail out from Washington?
Well you already have one. Congress increased the limits of the Section 179 depreciation provision AND included a new wrinkle providing for "50% bonus depreciation".
What's the catch? You have to take delivery of new equipment, etc. before the end of the year.
Is this the time to buy a CSS Music library or what? If you think you have a tax problem, this is definitely the time. Check with your tax adviser about the details of the rules for the enhanced Section 179 to see if it is a fit for you.
