Hello friends,
Is there anyway to change the names credited after release? CD Baby asked for full legal names and now my deadname is publicly on my bands spotify which sucks really bad. Is there any remedy for this?
so frustrating. tried to take down a release 46 days ago. it got zapped from all streamers except Apple Music within an hour. after 30 days still on Apple. request that CDBaby once again ask for it to be taken down and told to wait another 30 days to follow-up.
my guess is it won’t have worked again.
Has anyone released music under different artist names using the same CDBaby account? I did this and the release went fine, but I can't set up Apple Music for Artists with the new artist name. It only gives my previous artist name.
I have added boost to all of my singles and albums across multiple bands/projects ever since they started offering it. Why can't I see what royalties I've collected from the MLC and soundexchange on these various releases? The streams vary but I have several songs with 100k+ streams and nada. No line items in reports. Am I missing something? Is anyone able to see these earnings in their account? I'm preparing to release a single and trying to decide if adding boost is even worth it at this point.
So apparently, it has been two weeks since I have released my track, Mallu Malayali, and yeah, I still haven’t received any kind of status or any kind of information regarding the payout or revenue or something like I have no idea about it, so you should be within how many days does the revenue statements rollout and till when do we get paid? You should be on CD baby
Hey everyone,
We're the team behind DNM, a music distribution platform that primarily works with independent artists.
Over the past few months, we've spoken with a lot of artists, especially newer artists, and one thing kept coming up repeatedly:
Many artists wanted to release music, but weren't comfortable committing to annual subscriptions or upfront distribution costs before they had even built an audience.
So we've decided to launch a completely free music distribution plan.
A few details:
• Free forever (not a limited-time promotion)
• Unlimited song releases
• 80% royalty share
• Songs stay available for lifetime
• YouTube Content ID included
• Up to 2 primary artists
• Instagram profile linking
• Pre-save & release links
• Songwriter pages
• Revenue reports
• Spotlight Studio Basic Tier access
- Dedicated Dashboard
We also offer paid plans with additional features and higher-tier services, but we wanted to make sure artists had an option to release music without needing to pay upfront.
A couple of things worth mentioning:
If anyone has questions about how the plan works, royalties, Content ID, release management, or distribution in general, we're happy to answer them in the comments.
Thanks for reading.
Hi,
first release as a solo artist,
In the process of uploading my track on CDBABY I specifically requested to have a new artist page, to do not link the track to other artists it was suggesting me (they had all a similar or same artist name).
Yesterday evening, after a bit more than a week from submission, they finished to inspect it and released it directly.
This morning I checked on instagram and Tidal (I'm not using Spotify) and I panicked,
my track is associated to just a guy (no musician or dj or something) on instagram and to another artist (that has a SIMILAR name) on Tidal.
I can't check on the other platforms, and CDBABY servers are under maintenance today.
Ai assistant told me to open an artist page on each platform and contact each of them and ask to fix the problem separately.
The track ended up in an indie movie that's now in some cinemas and festivals, it's really important to fix it..
I'm scared to check on the other platforms..Is there a way that the problem is going to fix by itself with time? I'm feeling really screwed, I'm sure it asked me so many times if I wanted to associate my track to any of those artists and is always said NO I'M SURE THAT' NOT ME.
My album is set to be out in 2 months and has already been delivered to partners.
I just realized I put the incorrect publisher for one of the songwriters. Is there a way I can have this corrected?
I have a standard album and didn't opt in to boost.
Thank you!
I'm sure this is all automated but CD Baby made a claim within SoundExchange on an album I've owned the rights to for 5 years. I made the counterclaim and I assume CD Baby will just let it go and not counter again right?
I submitted a ticket to CD Baby on their website 22 days ago but of course they never replied. What do I do? Or do I just do nothing?
Hey, I want to add my mixing engineer and the guy who plays the guitar I wrote in the credits. I don't know exactly how this works because this is my first time releasing a song. I want to give them credits so that their names pop up in the little box for example that Spotify has for that. I do NOT want to mention them as other artists. Meaning I don't want them to be in the column were my artist name is. Does this make sense? Can anyone please explain me how to do this or give me a source since I've found none. Thank you!!
Hello everyone, I contacted CD Baby a few days ago and have not yet received a reply.
I purchased the “video creator” for 14.99€ for Apple Music; during the first week, it functioned perfectly, animated artwork appeared on both the Apple Music page and my iPhone but after a week, it vanished entirely, leaving only the static cover.
At first, I thought it was an iPhone bug, but after several attempts to fix it, nothing changed. The same issue occurred on my Mac the animated artwork disappeared.
Ps: Of course I have it enabled.
