If your a musician then you need to read this recent article from the New York times found on CDbaby.net
"I don't know if you saw the New York Times article yesterday about the life of successful independent musicians in 2007, but you definitely should, as it probably applies to your music career, too. Here's the link to the full article: http://tinyurl.com/3d8z5d "
I can remember early on in my music career being in college and fighting tooth and nail to scrape up enough money to make a CD then beg and plead with the local University radio stations to play our stuff.
Well times have really changed and for the better. It is amazing the quality of recording you can achieve today for little dollars. Then you take a company like CD Baby that does everything for you at a small $35.00 and 9% of sales. If your band has the chops and the determination to write good stuff, companies like CD baby can really help you with getting out there. From ITunes to Ring tones to selling the actually CD, they have is nailed down.
I would love to hear other success stories with CD Baby so feel free to comment.

I don't have a CD Baby success story, but I do have a success story or two. Mine involves a similar site called Tunecore. Tunecore also gets your music online to the same sites, but there's no percentage taken out of the sales. You pay a flat fee and that's it. Also, there's no contract. They are always running these awesome promotions, too. Right now, if you upload your album to sell you get a code to download IK Multimedia (a really expensive mastering program) for free. I'm so excited about the site I've been telling everyone I can about it. Good luck with your sales!

Tunecore sounds great. I have to say I'm totally Happy with CD Baby. CD baby deserves what they get. they are responsive, great customer services and have taken great care of us. I'm sure tunecore is good as well I just thing for what CD baby has done for our band they deserve evey penny. thanks and best of luck.
