I. NEW! Online Booking Application!
If just looking for a price quote, or when you are ready to book with Eden Audio, you can now simply
fill out our simple ONLINE booking application, and click the Submit button. We used to require
that clients download a Word or Adobe PDF document, fill it out, then email or fax it back. The
online booking application is much easier to use and a lot faster! Please note that by simply
filling out and submitting this application, that you are under NO OBLIGATION whatsoever to
Eden Audio. We simply use the information you provide to return an accurate price quote, and
if you agree to the price, we then produce a contract and email it back to you for your final approval
and signatures. Click HERE to
get started with your no-obligation booking reservation!

II. Classified Ads!
We have added a full-featured classified ads application to our website. We spent
a lot of time perfecting this application so that it runs 100% by itself. We are
currently offering FREE ads to the first 100 persons using the application for it's
first year of operation. You only need to go back into the application when you
recieve a renewal notice in your email and renew the ad, and you can run it for 1 year at
no cost. With the Eden Audio website's high visitor volume, exposure is high, so
results should be fairly good. Click HERE to
get started with placing a new ad now!

III. Live Help Operators!
You can now get immediate assistance with questions you may have regarding
any aspect of our services, or to get help using or website! Simply click on either the "Live
Help" link from the horizontal menu across the top of the screen or on the "Do You Need Help" graphic
just above the HOME link in the vertical menu. Operators are standing by during
normal working hours (typically 10:00AM to 7:00PM M-F PST), to assist you.

IV. Online Music Listening to Help You Define Your Playlist!
With the exception of karaoke songs, the songs in our music catalog can now be
previewed for 30-seconds. This feature will allow you to determine whether or not a particular song is appropriate for
your event in terms of mix version, content, sound quality, and song duration. Eden Audio utilizes Flash technology to allow you to receive and play "streaming" media on any operating system that has
been installed with its plugin. Our audio files are sent in small batches to avoid excess download time.
Our music "jukebox" offers almost instant delivery since it only imposes a roughly 30-second "head start" before you can start listening to your song(s). In addition, as you
browse through our music catalog, you can select any number of songs to play
as well as control music volume, replay, and continuity. If you have not already obtained the latest Flash plugin, please download Macromedia's Flash Player 7.0
to ensure that your browser can take advantage of this new song previewing capability.

V. IMPROVED-Build Your Own PlayList Feature!
We added the ability to build your own
custom music playlist, on a per event basis, some time ago, but have recently
made several significant new improvements! Registered Eden Audio
members can create two (2) separate playlists (e.g., "Dinner" and "Dance") of
the exact songs they wish to play at their event (including MUST play and POSSIBLE play
categories. Up to 96 songs can be specified per playlist!
The way this works is you choose songs for your playlist out of our
Online Music Catalog. Our online music catalog has excellent view,
search, and browsing facilities, making it easy to find the songs you
wish to add to the playlist. NEW! You can even specify
the EXACT ORDER which you want the songs to be played in-either all of them, or just
the first 10 or so!
If you don't finish the playlist and logout, when you go
to add songs again and you try to add a song which is ALREADY in your playlist,
you will receive a warning message, making it easy to create a comprehensive
playlist over a period of time. You can also request specific songs
(the amount is dependent upon the service level you booked with us) which we
don't currently have in our Online Music Catalog. These specific song
requests are reviewed by your DJ and if approved, aquired and added to your
playlist. You will receive an email notification of the songs which
were approved and those which were not (in most cases, all songs will be approved.
Once you have finished your playlist, you "Finalize" it using a
special button for this purpose. Once the playlist(s) are finalized, your DJ
creates professionally labeled CDs (15-songs per CD) which he brings and uses during your
event, then presents them to you as our way of saying "Thanks for Hiring Eden Audio!"
Because the Build Your Own Playlist is an online feature, you can
conveniently perform updates to the list anytime of the day or
night via the web. The playlist can at any time be exported to a
text file and uploaded to your computer, or emailed to yourself or up to 6 addition
recipients. Please note that you must be a registered member to
use the playlist feature. Click here

VI. IMPROVED-Online Wedding Planner!
The Online Wedding Planner feature has been considerably improved to
include more pertinent data which is needed to insure a flawless wedding DJ performance. In
addition, since there is a large amount of data required, you may now save your
work and come back to it later, so that you can think about the questions and respond with
the answer at a later time (after speaking with your significant other, or the wedding coordinator,
for example). NEW-We now have drop-down lists of song suggestions for each
of the various wedding events! AND-You can play the songs for 60-seconds, using our
new Flash Media player tool!

VII. "Montage" Style Photo Gallery!
To make it much easier to see many photos at one time, we recently
upgraded our photo galleries from its former "slideshow" style to a new "montage"
style. We take along a digital camera to some of our events, take
photos and then add them to the Photo Gallery area. So please
click GO! to have a look at our
DJs, our excellent gear available for rent, and photos of some of the events that
we have done over the years.
