Cool CD site for independent artists

Here is a site I just found

http://cdbaby.com/about

You can read about them by following the link.

Coolest thing about them is they only sell CD's from independent artists, and most of the money goes to the artist, not a record label. My daughter's ex piano teacher has her CD there, that's how I found them.

Cool, I did not see that, but you need to buy three of them, so it's $15 to get three, still a great deal.

I've bought CDs there and the service is very good. The goofy, corny shipping notification they send you will bring a smile to your face, too.

I've been buying from CD Baby for a couple of years. One thing I like about their web site is that the song samples are usually 2 minutes long, which is enough of a sample to decide if you want to buy a cd or not. I've never had any problem with any purchase I've made from them.

Just wanted to help support CDBaby by adding my recommendation. A friend turned me to them a few years ago and I've bought maybe 2 dozen cds during that time. No problems, great unique artists, and just a cool atmosphere.

I have purchased DOZENS of CDs from cdbaby.com. Great service, great music.

My only complaint is that CDs from independent artists (no record company) should not cost the same as a major artist CD IMO.

Some of the great artists I discovered on cdbaby:

Cory Sipper
Cactus Choir
E.S. Posthumus
Alexi Murdoch

Message to giant record companies - we don't need you anymore.

Recommendations from others who have bought from cdbaby would be nice.
