CD Baby Drops Digital Sales Commission To 9%

CD Baby Digital Sales
CD Baby Digital Sales

CD Baby just lowered its commission on MP3 sales from 25% to 9%, making it the lowest of any of the digital retailers, including Bandcamp, which powers the store on this site.  And the new rate also applies to sales that come through any of their direct-to-fan sales modules, like the MusicStore for Facebook.  CD Baby has probably the most complete set of artist tools of any of the independent music distribution services, and they just keep getting better and better, even since founder Derek Sivers left in 2008.  It’s hard not to like this company…

Bandcamp Kills It With New Web-Optimized Mobile Pages | Billboard.biz

Billboard.biz | Music Industry

Nice to see I’m not the only one who gets excited by the continuing awesomeness that is the Bandcamp publishing platform… as I blogged about, 3 weeks ago, their new mobile-optimized pages really knock it out of the park (like everything else they do), and folks are taking notice:

“Bandcamp has absolutely killed it with its new mobile-optimized web pages. Life just got a lot more difficult for MTV, which last week put Artist.MTV pages into public beta and will give it a mobile push later this year. MySpace might as well give up…”—Billboard

My iTunes Music Library

iTunes Music Library

I’m finally closing in on 5,000 songs in my iTunes Music Library… certainly not as many as some, but a cool milestone nonetheless. And I’m loving using iTunes Match and iCloud

“How iTunes Match works: iTunes determines which songs in your collection are available in the iTunes Store. Any music with a match is automatically added to iCloud for you to listen to anytime, on any device. Since there are more than 20 million songs in the iTunes Store, chances are your music is already in iCloud. And for the few songs that aren’t, iTunes uploads what it can’t match (which is much faster than uploading your entire music library). Even better, all the music iTunes matches plays back from iCloud at 256-Kbps AAC DRM-free quality — even if your original copy was of lower quality.”
