Online Music Retailer CD Baby Acquired by Disc Makers
- craigbellot 18y agoDerek silvers probably realized his current business will be obsolete soon, and sold. Congrats to him though for his role in shaping the music industry.
- dmix 18y agoCongrats. I really like this company, one of the early pioneers for distributing indie music online. A good interview with the founder on Venture Voice: http://www.venturevoice.com/2005/11/vv_show_19_derek_sivers_of_cd.html http://www.venturevoice.com/2005/11/vv_show_19_derek_sivers_...
- raja 18y agoDoes anyone know the acq terms && price
- Prrometheus 18y agoAlways wondered why they didn't do downloads instead of CDs.
- ibsulon 18y agoThey do downloads as well these days. It's not as elegant as I'd like, though. I think they were partnering with Rhapsody and iTunes though.
- bokonist 18y agoI know at one point they resold all their artists in mp3 format to web based music stores like emusic. Not sure why they didn't sell the mp3s directly themselves.
