MacNN reader Andrew Mays notes that CDBaby has officially to distribute Indie music to online digital stores, such as Apple's iTunes Music Store, Listen.com, and others: "It costs $35 to join CDBaby, a one time fee of $40 dollars to sign up for electronic distribution, plus $20 for a UPC code which I needed anyway. This is huge for small labels like the one I'm running!"

Hey guys. Derek from CD Baby here. Just wanted to make sure it's clear that we can SUBMIT your music FOR CONSIDERATION to Apple iTunes Music Store, but the final say is always up to them.
Just didn't want to make it seem like we're promising anyone that they *will* be there. But at least we can promise that we will submit it to them, by their guidelines, for their consderation.
Just a formality, perhaps. But just wanted to be clear. :-) Feel free to ask any questions at cdbaby@cdbaby.com.
You just provided the solution to a problem we HAD.
