Tunecore Or CD Baby

I’m currently selling my music here at ForOrchestra, but yesterday I was stuck with the age old question between two distributors for my iTunes, Rhapsody, Amazon release coming next month: Tunecore or CD Baby?

I asked everyone on Twitter and FacebookFacebook, and the majority of the answers said to go with Tunecore.

The biggest difference between the two is that Tunecore has an upfront fee and CD Baby simply take a 9% cut of each sale.

So apparently if I plan on selling more than 300 downloads then Tunecore is the way to go, because it offsets the upfront costs, and the rest is 100% profit.

The problem is that I already have my CD Baby account from 2006 – and so I would like to not have to start ANOTHER account. I’m thinking about using Tunecore for my digital distribution, and CD Baby for my physical copies.

I’m leaning strongly towards Tunecore. What do you think?

    Well to me it doesnt seem like creating a tunecore account is so much of a hassle that it should be any contributing factor to amount of money you make off your music. but to be fair.. iv never used either of the two sites. lol
