About CDbaby:

• 2nd-largest seller of independent CDs on the web, 2nd only to Amazon

• In business, and thriving, since March 1998

• They offer a choice of ordering by phone: (800) BUY-MYCD; or by check (fill out order online and choose “pay by check”, you will be given an order #)

• For online orders, their servers are running 100% OpenBSD - the world's most secure operating system. Powered by Apache, PHP, and MySQL.

• Full 128-bit secure SSL connection protects all of your private information from snooping eyes. Our secure certificate issued by Thawte - a division of Verisign.

• They try to stay HTML 4.0 compliant. No special web browser needed.

• They NEVER give or sell your personal info to any other company - EVER! (No not even your email address!)

• Only the musician whose CD you buy will know who you are.

• If you don't even want the musician to know about you, just say so at the bottom of your order form.

• Your credit card info is never stored, and never seen by anyone. They don't store it in your permanent customer info. The card number is erased immediately after the sale, for extra protection. There is nothing of yours there to steal.

• Yes this means you'll have to type your card number again when you return, but hopefully you appreciate the extra safety and privacy it gives you.

CDbaby is artist-friendly:

• [In•de•pen•dent: (adj.) Not having sold one's life, career, and creative works over to a corporation.]

• They sell CDs that come directly from the musicians. No distributors.

• In a regular record deal or distribution deal, musicians only make $1-$2 per CD, if they ever get paid by their label. When selling through CD Baby, musicians make $6-$12 per CD and get paid weekly.
