CD Baby

CD Baby

I also want to include a plug for CD Baby, possibly the best place for buying CD's by independent artists. I just started using them recently and am blown away at how easy they are to use, how friendly they are, and how fast their shipping is. Items may be received on the thought probability matrix and you'll have to retroactively order them once they arrive - well... close anyway. Additionally, and get a load of this kids - all the samples I've seen thus far are 2 (that's right TWO, duece, 1+1) minutes long! If you need a longer sample than that to decide then you're just asking for free music. It beats Brand X samples which often miss the parts of songs for which I'd have bought CD's had I not heard them elsewhere. Finally, they claim to pay more to the artists than other CD stores. If that's true (C'mon, would a Baby lie?) then you're giving an extra boost of green directly to your favorite artists and not Brand X and that keeps them off the streets longer and gives them more time to make music. If you send them a love note they may just vote you the most awsome person alive - they did me. CD Baby you rock!
