brand management company DIC Entertainment (DIC), is launching a new online
production music business, www.cuetunes.com. The announcement was made today by

"DIC owns literally thousands of music cues, and cuetunes.com provides a vehicle
to monetize the valuable asset," comments Clark. "One of our most important
goals is to make the user's experience as simple and enjoyable as possible by
providing myriad searchable song criteria, user-friendly customer service
support and through our Preferred Patron Program."

for $21.95 (10 seconds or less) or $39.95 (greater than 10 seconds) per track
