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.

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!!

CDBaby used to be good when you could… CDBaby used to be good when you could reach a live person, but like so many of these online companies they are all about getting your money and letting bots do the work. Well, the bots cannot fix the issue I am having and I have found absolutely no way to get a person to help even by email so I am stuck while they collect millions and I get trickles of pennies per song. I just released more music, paid for all of their services and they are failing to live up to what they say they can do like create a YouTube Artist Channel. If a customer has an issue and there is a glitch and you've already paid them as your distributor you are screwed. I am beyond frustrated right now with the ghosting. Since they refuse to make a way to fulfill their proclaimed services there should be a class action lawsuit against them. I hate to write this, but you know there needs to be accountability with these greedy online bot wielding ghosting companies!

Total scammers Total scammers. Don’t expect to earn any money and fully expect them to remove your music from all platforms with no explanation. Absolute scammer!

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 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?
