About CD Baby

Music distribution is about getting your songs in front of the most people possible. That’s why over a million independent creators worldwide use CD Baby to release their music across all major digital streaming platforms like Spotify, TikTok and YouTube Music. CD Baby makes releasing music affordable— all our distribution services for just a one-time fee of $9.99 per release, whether it's a single or an album. And whenever we add a new digital retail partner, your music catalogue will be delivered to them free of charge. Many music distributors claim to offer free music distribution but charge additional per-retailer fees, annual subs fees, cancellation fees, and all kinds of hidden add-ons and upsells for additional services. CD Baby has no recurring subscription fees, so you don’t have to worry about us ever taking down your music if you miss a payment (there are no payments!) CD Baby also offers Mechanical and Digital Performance Royalty collection and Sync Licensing as part of our Boost service, as well as our Stages program for emerging artists. Stages offers a suite of valuable artist services, moving with you as your artist career advances and unlocking new opportunities such as expedited release inspection, DSP playlist pitching, and more.

Fast 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.

Eff 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.

CD BABY = DODGY (Follow Up) The Merry Go Round Keeps Going Round Well Shame I can't reply to their semi automated reply to my previous Review. I filled in a takedown/copyrite form via email only to get another Automated reply with a link to the same takdown form I've already filled a couple times. As far as I'm concerned If CD Baby allows just anyone with an account to place artists music up without permission from the actual artist, then the onus is on them to contact/ chase the account holder, and not expect Me (The artist) to do so. It's not My neglegence. Sort Your dodgy Issues out.

When 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.
