Dear Ms Collins:
RE: DESTINY MEDIA TECHNOLOGIES INC.
FORM 10-KSB FOR THE YEAR ENDED AUGUST 31, 2004
FILE NO. 000-28259
We are writing in response to your letter dated March 21, 2005 requesting
additional information pursuant to our annual Form 10-KSB for the year ending
August 31, 2004.
We provide our comments below.
1. We note from your response to our previous comment no. 1 where you
indicate that development fees are billed separately and in addition to
the license fee as established in your price list. Pursuant to
paragraph 74 of SOP 97-2 if the software requires significant
customization, the service element (development fee) does not meet the
criteria for separate accounting. Based on your response, it appears
that the Company accounts for the license fee and the development fee
separately. Please explain and tell us how your accounting complies
with SOP 97-2.
Occasionally, a customer will request a customization to one of our
Clipstream {TM} suite of products. Examples include changing the
user interface, adding minor functionality or integrating
Clipstream {TM} into their environment. These modifications are
minor and usually are isolated to the particular customer.
Our development fee revenue was less than 7% of total Clipstream
{TM} revenue for fiscal 2004. Revenue associated with the
customization is recognized upon completion and acceptance of the
development work. Revenue associated with the license is recognized
upon delivery of the relevant code key to utilize the license.
It is our view that the modifications don't materially change the
product (license) delivered. Nevertheless, these two revenue items are
generally delivered (and therefore recognized into revenue) at
approximately the same time.

Steve Vestergaard,
