# CD Baby is a little online record store that sells albums by independent musicians.
# [In•de•pen•dent: (adj.) Not having sold one's life, career, and creative works over to a corporation.]
# We're just a bunch of people in a cool Portland, Oregon, warehouse that looks like a playground. We listen to every album we sell before we sell it, so we can help you find other albums you'll like.
# We only sell music that comes directly from the musicians. No distributors. Musicians send us their music. We digitize and warehouse, sell them to you, and pay the musicians directly.
# Cool thing: in a regular record deal or distribution deal, musicians only make $1-$2 per album, if they ever get paid by their label. When selling through CD Baby, musicians make $6-$12 per album, and get paid weekly.
# In business, and thriving, since March 1998. We're one of the largest sellers of independent music on the web.
