@cdbaby.com Why does CD Baby limit audio fidelity to CD quality uploads? Asking for a friend.

If you like music or you're an independent musician WATCH THIS VIDEO. It's long, but it's a deep dive into a lot of the issues with music streaming that I've talked about before

BIG UPS to Venus Theory for making this!!

📢RECORDING ARTISTS;
I highly recommend keeping an eye on unusual streaming activity.

Has your music ever been removed for this reason?

PS - playing my #karen card.
PPS - the 'manager' is also a bot.👍

Oh, lmao. Almost forgot to make a post. Our single is live, btw.

You can find it on whatever you use. No monetization. #CDBaby kept pushing stream revenue and stuff on us and I kept shrugging. We're aiming for a solid 200-ish streams. What revenue? XD

I'm sorry #CDBaby I have negative ZERO interest in advertising with #META. I am no longer a customer and left in #protest. I would recommend you do the same.

Always a good feeling getting a payout from my music

#TuneCore, #DistroKid, and #CDBaby are also impacted by this, possibly others.

It seems to be quite dangerous for #musicians to distribute their songs via #CDBaby on Spotify and Co.
Fortunately, I had only released a handful of songs via this distributor, all of which have now been removed without notice. 😥

Agree first step is important, but:
#tidal & #deezer are alts for #spotify. So is #cdbaby and better for artists.

For email, #proton, #zoho, and I shared a list of 5 other alternatives 2 days ago. As good as Gmail? No. But sacrifices are needed for the greater good, right? #outlook too.

If it don't make dollars, it dont' make sense. Hustling @ The #clam #hathian #cdbaby

Loss Leader by SuperValu on Apple Music Album · 2025 · 16 Songs

SuperValu 'Loss Leader' is now streaming on Apple Music if you like that sort of thing. I paid #CDBaby twice for this privilege.

You could also use Bandcamp which is better for 437 reasons.

Wow. Email from CDbaby - I've been using them for Digital Distribution for 13 years - 6 months to respond to a request?? I have paid for this service!!!! #CDbaby

Today marks the day of my second music release of the year.

It’s a minimal atmospheric vocal deep techno melodic house vibe.

Even though the date was set for today, #cdbaby has not gotten it through the inspection queue yet.

Funny how now they are selling “skip the line” to distro now.

The lovely people at #CDBaby (who handle my digital distribution as well as that of so many other artists) have compiled this list of resources for #musicians impacted by #LAfires:

Indie Musicians Need to Fight Spotify's Royalty Theft As major record labels struggle with "market share erosion" in streaming, Spotify's royalty theft aims to give them your music royalties.

Essential reading for all #IndieArtists who release their work through a distributor like #CDBaby #Distrokid #TuneCore etc #Spotify are going to start #StealingYourRoyalties and giving them to scum cunt majors instead #ThisCannotBeAllowed it is blatant #theft 🤬🖕🏻
