CD Baby closing

CD Baby are closing their online retail store at the end of March. Presumably that means a useful resource is going to disappear.

Another one bites the dust.

Not sure if anyone has used Reverb LP for information https://reverb.com/c/a-message-from-reverb-lp but it has also closed it's doors on 2020/02/27.

Amazon, Apple & Spotify keep on knocking the small guys out.

Looks like their catalogue is still available for browsing with useful release and licensing info.

Indeed, there seems to be even more info available than before: precise release dates and composers - Unf. the art work looks too small to transfer...

Thanks Seb for the share!

Yes, but with an entirely different approach.... Anyway, in terms of artists and releases co-represented by CDbaby, their new site offers greatly detailed info.

Thanks for letting us know.

Actually, CDbaby's professionally set-up new business model should be considered very interesting for and by our management...

Am I doing something wrong? I couldn't find any of the following:

A Beatles Tribute

Invisible Angel

Lady of the Leaves

MacGyver Theme

etc.

When testing, I also encountered some such cases.

On one hand, not all artists will have signed over licensing rights to them.

Also, it seems they don't list versions of works for which they are lacking authorizations needed in terms of master/duplication (phonographic copyright) or authoring/publishing rights involved. Especially the latter may apply to works by Beatles, Morricone et al.
