Over 25,000 Musicians Using CD Baby’s MusicStore for Facebook

CD Baby’s MusicStore for Facebook is widely
embraced by CD Baby artists as the easiest way to sell CDs, Vinyl, and
MP3s on Facebook.

Portland, Oregon,

CD Baby, the largest digital distributor of independent music in the
world, is excited to announce that over 25,000 independent artists
around the world are selling music directly to their fans on Facebook
using CD Baby’s MusicStore for Facebook. This customizable music
store/player is the easiest way for musicians to sell downloads and CDs
directly to fans on Facebook.

In a new video featured on YouTube and on the DIY Musician Blog (http://diymusician.cdbaby.com/2011/10/cd-babys-favorite-musicstores-for-facebook/),
CD Baby displays several dozen of the best MusicStore customizations to
demonstrate how artists can easily integrate an attractive and
user-friendly music store and player into their band’s Facebook page.

With just a few clicks, artists can set up their music store as a tab
on a Facebook page, allowing fans to listen to, purchase, and share
their music. CD Baby then handles the rest automatically, including the
transaction processing, music delivery, customer service, and artist
payout.

For CD Baby artists, the MusicStore App is free and requires no
additional uploading, as song files, metadata, and bio information are
already stored in CD Baby’s database. The MusicStore for Facebook
shows fans all the relevant artist and product info. It also allows
artists to choose between offering 30-second sample clips or full song
streams when people click to hear the music before purchasing.

“I’m proud that CD Baby has been able to solve the problem of selling
music on Facebook,” says CD Baby president Brian Felsen. “And I’m
excited to see so many musicians using the MusicStore for Facebook.”

Because CD Baby has all necessary artist content and information in
their database, the new MusicStore for Facebook takes only 5 minutes to
set up.

“It’s beautiful, seamless, and integrated,” Felsen continues. “It’s
direct to fan, and CD Baby handles all the logistics: the credit card
processing, the delivery of downloaded MP3s, the warehousing and
shipping of CDs, the customer service, and the accounting – so artists
can focus on what matters: writing, recording, and performing.”

The MusicStore for Facebook is FREE for existing CD Baby members.
When artists can sign up with CD Baby, they can start selling (and
sharing) their music on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, and Facebook simply by logging into their member accounts
