CD Baby
Pay-per-release distribution with publishing administration options.
CD Baby charges once per release rather than annually, so old catalogue stays live without recurring fees. Publishing administration and sync pitching are available as add-ons.
Why this
We include CD Baby because it is a strong fit for artists who release rarely and want music to stay up..
