Navigate the CD Baby maze to a flawless music release. Everything you need to know to upload music!

[Updated for CD Baby's new Boost offering!] For simple and clear help releasing your music, check out my free guide, "Navigating the Music Release Maze: Stop relying on luck and start building your fanbase" here: https://helvigproductions.com/navigat... **update 2025** CDBaby has stopped offering their YouTube Official Artist Channel merging service. When you're music gets distributed to YouTube, it's under a "topic" channel by default. Prior to March 2025, there was a way to merge this "topic" channel with your Official Artist Channel on YouTube. This is no longer possible with a CDBaby release. If you're channel is already "merged" or connected, nothing changes. But if this is your first release and you want these channels merged, you'll have to use a different distributor to accomplish that. 00:00 - Overview 02:17 - Free Music Release Guide! 03:11 - Create an account with CD Baby and log in 04:14 - Step 1: Single, EP, or Album??
