From us, to you.Įmubands – UK based, with a flat fee up front model, their lack of an annual subscription fee makes them the most efficient of our competitors, but their admin process is offline meaning you have to send them a CD and a cheque and co-ordinate the upload and distribution remotely. This can’t ever be an issue with us, as money only ever flows one way. It gets even more worrying – they ask that you send the money directly to them by PayPal with a payment tag attached explaining what you want to buy from them, and then they’ll contact you… I’m sure you can email them first and open a dialogue, but I’d need some pretty serious assurance that my money was safe before I sent it. Their flat fee service involves you paying £100 upfront for a 6 month release, after which your music will be removed from any services they uploaded it to, so our table has them in for double to make up the year. The company doesn’t seem to have seen fit to run their deal memo through a spellchecker, so it seems unlikely they will have run it past a lawyer. Their signup fee is a flat, per release deal, although they say that single pricing is “coming soon”.ĭ.uk (DMD) – This deal information document makes us feel very nervous. On top of the signup fee, you’ll also need to pay them $20 to set up a UPC for you, then they’ll take 9% of the revenue that comes back from their online retail partners.
ĬD Baby – First thing to note is that signing up to CD Baby’s digital service means you also have to sign up to their physical program, and send them at least 5 physical CD’s ( click and see step 2 of this page). Let’s open with a table looking at the USD$ price of signing up various types of release to a few of the major digital distributors out there on the net, which we’ll follow with links to the information pages from which these figures were derived, and a brief look at the pros and cons of each service.
It’s been a while since we last ran through the comparison between our digital distribution service and those of our competitors.
