STREAMING DIVISION

We'll make your music available on the most popular streaming sites in the world — and make sure you get paid. To collect all of the songwriting and publishing performance and mechanical royalties, you’ll need to select PRO or be working with a Publishing Administrator.

We make sure your album gets delivered to iTunes quickly and in the correct format. We'll also deliver your album to dozens of other popular music stores such as Spotify and Amazon.

We've partnered with the world's biggest one-stop distribution company, Alliance Entertainment, to make sure your fans can find your music wherever they prefer to shop. Alliance Entertainment's huge catalog is available to over 2,000 music retailers, worldwide, including Target and Best Buy. Now your album will be, too!

In order to work with a Publisher like CD Baby Pro Publishing, you need to be signed up with a Performing Rights Organization — we'll handle the time-consuming songwriter affiliation and administration, and you can get back to making music.

We'll register your CD with Gracenote CD Data Base, so your name, album title, and track titles will automatically display on most media players: iTunes, WinAmp, Quintessential Media Player, Finder (Mac OS), and some car stereos in newer vehicles.

Licensing your music for TV shows, movies, YouTube and more, has the potential to generate new revenue streams for your music. We make your songs available for sync licensing so you'll get paid every time a consumer or creative professional uses your music as part of the soundtrack to their next project.

As a songwriter, you are owed performance and mechanical royalties, but unless you have a publishing rights administrator working on your behalf, much of this revenue will go uncollected. That's where CD Baby comes in. We'll make sure you get paid everything you're owed — worldwide.

We'll register ALL of your songs directly with collection societies in the US, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Japan, Canada, and the Netherlands so you can collect the publishing royalties you're owed whenever your music is performed live, played on radio or TV, streamed online, or downloaded internationally.

Whenever your music is used in a YouTube video—even in the background—YouTube will recognize your track and you’ll get paid your share directly to your account.
