088 – I’m on the Run

Recorded 27 January 2009

This is a quick show, recorded early because I’m on my way to my first meeting as a member of the Chicago Music Commission’s Advisory Board.

If you can’t tell that I’m excited to see what awaits music in Chicago and how we can help shape it, well, just follow me on Twitter or Plurk, because I’m going to be throwing out some updates and pictures along the way tonight, you can be sure.

We’ll be meeting at Pressure Point Recording Studios on Michigan Avenue in Chicago, a place I’ve wanted to check out for awhile now, I hear it’s phenomenal.  We’ll be talking about what recent changes have happened and where we’re heading, so I’m sure I’ll have a lot of information I’ll want to share.

News You can Use

  • Coming up February 9 is the next Musicians At Work Forum put on by the Chicago Music Commission and The City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs. This session is all about licensing your music.

074 – CD Baby is your digital friend

Recorded 23 October 2008

Well, it’s that time to be thinking about getting the Christmas CD out there for public consumption and I needed a new home for it. imagine my surprise when looking at CD Baby again and finding that they’re really into digital distribution. Maybe I didn’t look closely enough or maybe they’re doing more than they used to, but it’s there and the full range of offerings is the topic of this episode.

Topics included:

  • Why I went with CD Baby instead of a pre-order through my own site
  • What CD Baby offers with Digital Distribution and its payout
  • The comparison of selling the physical CD
  • The list of the digital partners with CD Baby
  • Turnaround for the digital partners
  • Bar codes and ISRC codes for digital distribution
  • Great customer service turnaround

Comments From The Podcast Gallery
instead of comments, this is an assignment for you, the Podcast Gallery. Since the digital partners don’t notify CD Baby when they have released my music, I’m asking the Podcast Gallery to let me know if they see my music on a download site. Write me here or call me on the Podcast Gallery voicemail line at 630.492.0487.

And while you’re checking out iTunes for my music, go ahead and subscribe to the show and leave a review.
