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.

My music suddenly got removed from all… My music suddenly got removed from all social media sites like YouTube and Meta without any explanation and they have been zero help. They have been replying with the same automated reply email that has nothing to do with my music and not answering any of my questions. My music was 100% original composition on solo piano. I am considering removing all my music from CDBaby and look for a new distributor. Any recommendations?

CD Baby - Awesome! For someone who doesn’t upload more than about 12+ separate titles per year, every year, FOREVER, CD Baby should ALWAYS be the way to go! The pricing is fair, the support is decent and there’s no limit to your amount of artists! For someone who’d rather have no recurring payments, THIS is the music distribution service for me!

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.

My experience with CD Baby has been perfect My experience with CD Baby has been perfect. I made a couple of "mistakes" in setting up my account and there was no negative vibe whatsoever. My emails were addressed, answered promptly and the issue resolved. The Hearnow page is beautiful and easy to edit just the way you would want it. The dash board is very precise too, this is well thought out and one more thing........ it is not a requirement that you have a mobile phone to have an account which I find refreshing. Seems to me CD Baby's only requirement is to simply love music.

Absolutely the worst Absolutely the worst, stay away people! I released music through them almost a decade ago and to this day I’m trying to get all their mistakes sorted myself. On YouTube, Spotify just everywhere my music was mixed up on other channels. To get the music on my channel seems to be impossible which it shouldn’t be. On Spotify it’s still not on my account. On you tube either and their last suggestion was to delete all my content off of YouTube so they can maybe put my music onto my channel. I own the rights and it’s just absolutely ridiculous!! Oh they reply after 6 months and sometimes a year so yeah don’t bother!!
