Dear Sirs/Mesdames:
| Re: | Destiny Media Technologies, Inc. |
| Registration Statement on Form SB-2 | |
| Filed May 17, 2007 | |
| File No. 333-143060 |
Thank you for your letter of June 25, 2007 with respect to the Form SB-2 (the “Form SB-2”) filed by Destiny Media Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”). We enclose our response to your comments and four blacklined copies of our amendment to the Form SB-2. Our responses are numbered in a manner that corresponds with your comments as set out in your letter of June 25, 2007.
1. Please consider revising your fee table and relating footnotes to group similar disclosures.
Response: We have reviewed our disclosures for the fee table and relating footnotes. We believe that we have already grouped similar securities together in a manner that would assist us in keeping track of the securities being registered on this registration statement. Accordingly, we have decided not to revise our fee table and relating footnotes at this time.

Selling Stockholders, page 15
2. We note that Bryant Park Capital Inc. is a registered broker-dealer and Joel Magerman is listed as exercising discretion over the stock that they hold. Please disclose the nature of the transaction in which they both acquired their stock. Do these shares relate to the financial advisory agreement entered into on September 11, 2006 between Destiny Media and Bryant Park Capital, as amended on April 10, 2007? Please file your financial advisory agreement with Bryant Park Capital and advise why Bryant Park should not be listed as an underwriter.
Response: Bryant Park Capital Inc. and Joel Magerman acquired our securities pursuant to a financial advisory agreement between our company and Bryant Park Capital Inc. dated for reference September 11, 2006 and amended on April 10, 2007 and as compensation for acting as placement agent in our February 26, 2007 Private Placement. We have included disclosure regarding the nature of these transactions in the footnotes to the selling stockholders table. We have also added the financial advisory agreement as an exhibit to the Form SB-2 under Exhibit 10.6.
We submit that Bryant Park Capital, Inc. should not be listed as an underwriter in the Form SB-2 because it has acquired securities of our company as an investment for its own account and not with a view to distribute those securities. Bryant Park Capital, Inc. acquired securities of our company as compensation for investment banking services rendered to our company and we were advised by Bryant Park Capital, Inc., at the time it acquired securities of our company, that it did not have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute those securities. Legal counsel to Bryant Park Capital, Inc. advises us that this is consistent with the position that Commission staff has taken, i.e. a selling stockholder, even though a registered broker-dealer or affiliated with a registered broker-dealer, is not deemed an underwriter if the selling stockholder acquired securities as compensation for investment banking services rendered and has acquired securities for its own account and not with a view to distribution of those securities.
| 3. |
Contrary to your assertion that none of the selling shareholders is a broker-dealer or an affiliate of a broker-dealer on page 16, we find that Bryant Park Capital, Inc. is a registered broker-dealer. Please also confirm, if true, that there are no more broker- dealers or affiliates of broker-dealers among the selling stockholders. |
Response: We have reviewed once again the representations made by the selling shareholders in their respective Securities Purchase Agreements and confirm that there are no more broker-dealers or affiliates of broker-dealers among the selling stockholders, other than Axiom Capital Management, Inc.
We confirm that Axiom Capital Management, Inc. also should not be listed as an underwriter in the Form SB-2 because it has acquired securities of our company as an investment for its own account and not with a view to distribute those securities. We issued to Axiom Capital Management, Inc. the securities of our company as directed by Bryant Park Capital, Inc. as compensation for investment banking services rendered to our company.

| 5. |
Please revise your selling shareholder table by footnote disclosure or otherwise to indicate the transaction(s) by which the selling shareholders received the shares by that they intend to resell. |
Response: We have added disclosure relating to the transaction(s) by which the selling stockholders received the shares by that they intend to resell in the footnotes to the selling stockholders table, please see pages 16-17.

Wilson LLP
