Certainly, the CDBaby and CD Baby articles need to be merged, but in which direction? *Dan T.* 06:21, 15 December 2005 (UTC)(Seeing that the actual site has the space in its name in the page title, I guess you're right that it should be merged into the CD Baby article.)[reply]
As a user of the CD Baby website as both a musician and online music purchaser, I feel the currant article is fair and accurate. It's direction does not read like an advertisment to me. User:Jann P.* 11:35 April, 22 2006 (EST)
Mrm. I added the interview link after someone sent me to CD Baby. Perhaps that will help with a possible merge. Good luck!=Chica= 5 July 2006
This article is severely lacking in citations. I removed most of what I could not verify through a web search. I added citations to claims made on the CD Baby website and clarified that most of the information is coming directly from the subject of the article. There is still a good deal of language I don't agree with later on in the article, and there is definately room for more diversity in the source of information for this article, and verification from independent sources.

Who picked which artists to include under the "notable independent musicians" section? Obviously they are notable, because they have wikipedia articles, but why these particular notables? Just one example of another notable artist that is Not listed here is Here Come the Mummies. If I had a CD on CD baby, I could simply introduce my band into this part of the article.

Has anyone else noticed that CD Baby seems to censor reviews of CDs? They seem to absolutely refuse to post a (even just slightly) negative review of a CD in its reviews section. This angers me, as what is the point of reviews if they only show those which rave about a CD?? I feel this should be incorporated into the article provided that others have noticed this tendency as well. --smileyborg (talk) 20:28, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

CD Baby has a tradition of including hilariously funny text elements into their e-mails.
Example: "Your CD has been gently taken from our CD Baby shelves with sterilized contamination-free gloves and placed onto a satin pillow.A team of 50 employees inspected your CD and polished it to make sure it was in the best possible condition before mailing.Our packing specialist from Japan lit a candle and a hush fell over the crowd as he put your CD into the finest gold-lined box that money can buy.We all had a wonderful celebration afterwards and the whole party marched down the street to the post office where the entire town of Portland waved "Bon Voyage!" to your package, on its way to you, in our private CD Baby jet on this day, August 26, 2009.We hope you had a wonderful time shopping at CD Baby. In commemoration, we have placed your picture on our wall as "Customer of the Year." We're all exhausted but can't wait for you to come back to CDBABY.COM!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!Sigh...We miss you already. We'll be right here at http://cdbaby.com/, patiently awaiting your return." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 157.161.133.225 (talk) 00:08, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
CD Baby relaunched the website with major infrastructure changes (using ASPX) to support future growth, including redundancy that protects the original material on the site in a way that initially was not available to the artists and incurred significant risk to them. The website is no longer being run with the original or revised PHP of Sivers.
Did the new changes harm the artists, or did the new version seek to shield the artists from harm which had been present in the old version?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Ls47fGMsS8 Scott Manley makes mention of them inappropriately copyrighting and distributing CC3.0 licensed music and spamming strikes against YouTube users posting Kerbal space program videos because the music is used with compliance in the game.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bt1ubSVMwaw CDbaby is mentioned quite a few times in this enforcing licences against against independent and partnered YouTube streamers in some cases probably legitimately. In others against the verbal contract of artist and streamer prior to signing with CDBaby Ransombot (talk) 02:32, 20 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uk66jt_yBhg lovelyti2013 mentions CDbaby again taking CC3.0 work and applying strikes against her channel. Ransombot (talk) 02:32, 20 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Would be nice to see some reference about this on the page since they have never stopped doing this and are notorious for it. Quillszz (talk) 09:19, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This page should not be speedily deleted because... (it provides information on a website that holds a unique niche in a market, it explains the purpose of a website. An innovative website happens to have an article about itself, does that warrant it's removal from wikipedia solely because it simultaneously markets the site. If so, delete the page on amazon. ) --98.116.127.217 (talk) 02:40, 15 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn’t seem encyclopedic to have a section “In the news”, kinda weird DemonDays64 (talk) 00:21, 5 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
taken from article and ELs
I see no discussion here supporting the notion that this article reads like an advertisement and in my opinion it doesn't. Removing tag. --Pgapunk (talk) 20:00, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I see nothing in the article or on the talk page supporting the claim that someone was paid to create or edit this article. It reads from a neutral point of view. Removing tag.--Pgapunk (talk) 05:35, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
