Has anyone ordered music from cdbaby? They look legit and I haven't heard any horror stories, but I thought I'd get some other opinions. I've been eyeing up some of their $5 specials and want to make sure they're ok before I place my order. Any stories, good, bad or indifferent, would be helpful.

Excellent service! They are quick shippers and the email they send when you order is kinda humorous.

Only once, I bought an album by Pink Steel. Yes, the site has good service.

Wow! I've been going through the $5 section for like two weeks now, adding stuff and then thinking about it for a few days, and then removing stuff. So this thread got me going back again, and Katatonia's Dance Of December Souls (remastered) is on sale for $5! OUTSTANDING!

Just bought these:

American Blues Box - American Blues Box
Krank - Ugly Gift *
Grafite - Grafite *
Katatonia - Dance Of December Souls *
Brass Kitten - Across America *
Joetown - Rock'n'Roll Man *
Vagh - Into the Future Zone *
Big Cock - Year of the Cock *

* All $5 CDs.

Cdbaby is great. Highly recommended.

GREAT place to buy from. Superb customer service.

I placed my order. I got a boatload of stuff coming (Shhhhhh, don't tell the wife) .
Everyone should really check out their $5 section. Tons of cool music, especially metal, all for $5 bucks a pop (provided you buy at least 3, which wasn't a problem for me ) and you can listen to clips before you buy.

I've browsed this site from time to time but have never ordered anything from them. Maybe it's time to change that?

I've said it once (or maybe 5 or 6 times) and I'll say it again:

If you like Testament (Practice era) then you need to order Steel Reign - Change To Insane off of CDBaby!!

Awesome distro!

I recommend every indie band use them. We sold quite a few CDs through there.

Great distro indeed I buy from there alot, mostly an indie release distro!

The one problem with that site is that they give the bands way too many choices of genres. I mean, there's a Queercore genre! WHAT? Hahaha.

The inherent problem is that most bands don't know what genre to place themselves in, or they choose too many thinking they're going to get more exposure. If you check out the 80s rock section, like 50% of the bands listed describe themselves as anything but 80s rock. The same applies to all the genres. It's kind of annoying, but if you dig enough you'll find some great things.

Bump....

CD Baby posted this video on Facebook and I thought it was interesting... a "guided tour" of their warehouse in Portland, Oregon.



DAMN, look at all them CDs! Even Eyesore and Ultmetal combined don't have a collection this big!!

Hey Freddy, I'm 3 hrs away from that stash, I can probably steal something for you..haha.

Oh man! I gotta go change my pants.

I think I saw the Phoenix Reign cd on the third shelf down the fifth isle. I could be wrong though. I think that guy with the clip board was looking for it.

actually im serious they do have our cd. We've sold out a couple of times from there. Definetly a good place to sell your cd from. They also get your songs up on iTunes. They also run some good sales from time to time.
