• Like Peter stated above, the payouts are actually higher than mentioned in the article. After CD Baby's cut, the artist get 64¢ per a 99¢ download through iTunes.
  
  There are a couple options that CD Baby offers that seem to work better for the average indie artist. Our service is a flat fee of $35 per album. No annual fees or hidden charge for each store (Including all the different versions of iTunes). CD Baby will get you to far more digital outlets for that flat fee, but probably the best feature of our digital program, is that you can sell downloads on cdbaby.com.
  
  For downloads directly through CD Baby, the artist gets to set the price, so they can charge far more than 99¢ per track which has been a huge boost to the indie music community. For those downloads, artists keep 91¢ on the dollar. No one even comes close to that kind of return.
  
  Don't forget, we also sell your CDs worldwide! CD sales are still going strong for the indie artist, especially in international markets that artists in America tend to overlook!
  
  Feel free to contact CD Baby with any questions at cdbaby@cdbaby.com
  
  Thanks,
