New Artist Join & Gift This Album/Songbook
For years, we’ve received inquiries from artists interested in having their music sold through our site. In the past, these inquires were always handled manually and took way to long (in our opinion) to get the product up. As a result, we’ve launched our new artist join section. For a minimal one-time $35 setup fee, an artist can add any album or songbook to our site for consideration. The backend systems allow us to easily preview, comment, and even push the product on-site quickly. It’s a huge time saver for both us and the artists.
We’ve also recently added a great new feature, making it extremely easy to gift any product on our site to friends and family. Now on any songbook or album page, you’ll notice a simply link that states, “Gift this Album” or “Gift this Songbook.” By clicking this link, you’ll be required to enter the recipient’s e-mail address and name. After proceeding through checkout, the download links are automatically e-mailed as a gift to your recipient for download. With Mother’s Day around the corner, it’s a great opportunity to share with her the music you know she’ll love.










CDBaby charges $35 to distribute your album to every major online store and many secondary markets, and you want that much just to consider an album? Come on.
Ryan,
How have you been? I’m glad you are writing and making music. This is Greg Hansen, co-owner of this site.
I can see how you would be frustrated that we are not like CD baby. We don’t just take whatever music comes along like they do, but try to screen things so there is nothing offensive on the site. That’s one of the things that is important to us. We want it to clean and appropriate.
Another thing that is important to us, is making the music available to a worldwide audience of values-oriented people. We have found that it takes about an hour to review and upload an album, contact the artist, then do the book keeping until the Millennium. So we feel like it is a very reasonable fee considering the time involved.
We hope this will foster a better understanding of what we are about.
