BERLIN, GERMANY (Top40 Charts/ IODA) - IODA, the global leader in digital distribution, marketing, and technology solutions for the independent music and film industry, today announced new partners, Discograph, Forte Music Distribution, Harmonia Mundi Distribution, Cobayn and the Music Information Center Austria (MICA), have selected IODA's D3 platform to power digital distribution for their labels. These leading music distributors from France, the UK, Germany and Austria, will now offer their clients virtual shelf space at the more than 400 digital retailers, mobile outlets and subscription services that make up IODA's global distribution network. These new partnerships expand IODA's large catalog of independent music with more than 85 new labels. Using IODA's proven distribution technology platform, this quality music from established and emerging artists will now be available to fans around the world. The announcement comes in advance of the Popkomm 2008 conference this week in Berlin, Germany where IODA's CEO Kevin Arnold will be speaking.

"IODA is an efficient and reliable partner, with a dynamic and flexible staff. We are extremely satisfied with our collaboration with IODA for the Harmonia Mundi catalogue and therefore we have decided to extend our strategic partnership to all our distributed labels," said Jean-Baptiste Rivail, VP of International, Harmonia Mundi.

IODA's D3 platform provides an easy, fast and low cost solution for physical music distributors to offer comprehensive digital services to their labels. Distributors enjoy the benefits of a custom branded implementation of IODA's unique Rightsholder Dashboard tools and proven distribution platform while maintaining their direct label relationships. All licensing, encoding and delivery, and accounting functions are managed by IODA on behalf of the distributor. In addition to distribution, IODA will help its new partners drive online and offline sales via Promonet, the company's groundbreaking digital marketing platform.

"Our partnership with IODA enables us to make independent French labels available on digital retailer sites worldwide. We expect our digital strategy will help us double our revenue in the next year and IODA is integral to us realizing that growth opportunity," commented Olivier Lacourt, owner of Discograph. "IODA's Rightsholder Dashboard provides an easy to use system whereby our labels can track sales, edit metadata, and choose how content will be distributed and marketed. This platform will make our labels more productive, better informed and far more successful."

"Forte continues to maintain its strong retail relationships in Europe while also increasing our focus on digital distribution. Working with IODA fills an important gap, enabling us to expand our reach to countries around the world with a highly scalable, yet easy to use platform," commented Simon Keeler, founder and CEO of Forte Music Distribution. "We were excited about IODA's distribution services given their credibility as the best in the industry and are now equally eager to realize the potential of IODA's marketing capabilities. We expect the company's unique Promonet network will be integral to growing awareness and sales worldwide."

"Discograph, Forte Music Distribution, Harmonia Mundi Distribution, Cobayn and MICA are just the kind of distributors we like to work with as they share our passion for finding quality music and bringing it to the world," commented Erik Gilbert, IODA's VP of Content. "It is this spirit and passion that drives the independent music industry and converts deep-rooted enthusiasm into solid sales. Our growth in Europe is exciting because it makes world-class music available to fans everywhere. Cross cultural music discovery is what digital distribution is all about."
