Anyone have any experience with CDBaby.com , either as an artist or a consumer?

I've had good experiences with them as a customer; the RIYL links are based on a human being listening to the discs instead of counting clickthrus, so you can wind up finding a bunch of stuff you'd have never heard of otherwise (in my case, Elaine BÃŒckholtz comes to mind) -- they carry a lot of great stuff that's below the main zines' (and even the zorn list's) radar. The order and shipping confirmation emails are pretty funny the first time. -- Jim Flannery newgrange@talmanassociates.com When you can't give anything, you can also receive nothing.
