GBEff CD Baby My experience with CD baby was so infuriating. I've been trying to put out a project for more than a month. They kept messing it up and telling me to edit the project, which couldn't be edited. I reached out more than 10 times, submitted tickets, sent emails, I can't get in touch with them. There is no customer service line and I'm going to have to use a different distributor. I'm so angry it's been such a struggle - I hate them please don't use CD baby they suck.

GBThey will remove your music without any… They will remove your music without any consideration if you have your songs played by playlists without your consent. They willl not try to fix your situation what’s so ever nor will they give you a refund. Join even biz r bandcamp. These platforms will no longer be relevant in 2025. Mark my works

GBCDbaby the Original I trust CDbaby because they are the first to support independent musicians online. I had a co-worker who was an artist a long time ago & I purchased his cd online. CDbaby was the only place I could do that at the time. Now releasing music myself, I’ve experienced how they support artists with podcasts, blogs, videos & much more. I also like that there’s no annual fees on submissions & the process is simple.

CZFast and reliable I was surprised how fast the distribution to streaming platform was. On reddit some users stated, that it took them over 2 weeks to realese their material. In my case it was done under a week, album completely realesed. Submitting your album/single to distribution is easily done. Only one downside is the customer support. They´ll help you, but it will take 2-3 days for them to respond. In my case before they responded to me, the problem solved itself.

GBWhen you don't know what you don't know CD Baby has really streamlined the process of getting music from sketch to released. Given this process entails many steps that would have been entire businesses in the past, this is remarkable. The support videos are excellent - exactly the type of hand holding I needed by first time. And the options available after that help illuminate all the things I did not know I needed.
