First time user I have done business with Distrokid for many years and they have changed policies and created an untrustworthy platform. I was referred to CD Baby by a friend and they stated that they have had a positive experience so I'm giving it a try before I move my entire catalog over.

CDbaby 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.

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!!

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.

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.
