Yes - for on-lin sales/distribution I suggest you try CDbaby.com. Find their musicians services link and check out what they are offering - tell Seammus and Jed sent you! ;-)

You'll find they've done a great job organizing quick,e asy services for you, the seller, and they have an attractive site for customers. They offer a wide range of music, and seem to be doing very well. I think they'll be a good one.

I would also consider using amazon.com's advantage program. They are also pretty easy to get signed up and working. They also have many many customers purchasing form theiur site. They wil cost you and your customer a bit a bit more - but I believe they have the farthest reach.

Both wesite offer really sound marketing advice, and I hope you take th etime to look at it - and decide what fits for you.

Finally, I suggest you send a copy, or two to Max at the Mudcat radio show. Give him a call during their Wed night show, and ask if he'll play a cut or two. At least some of the Mudcat regs can hear your music, and maybe they'll have more ideas.

Best of luck!

Jed Marum and I (I hope I can speak for him!) both use cdbaby.com. I have been more than happy with their services. Check out their website.

All the best.

Hi gang! Happy Ether! I'm in the market for a distributor for my little indie CD, but there are dozens of distributors out there that I've come across, and no doubt hundreds more. So I'm putting it out there for you Mudcatters: Who would you recommend ? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. And now if you'll excuse me I have another chocolate bunny to attend to...
