This is just to confirm how good I think CDBaby is. Justice continues to receive checks from them for digital plays and downloads - approaching 2 million now. Over 40 countries.
Fine work CD Baby - well done. You are a good company and nice that you are a sponsor of JPF.

Two million spins, wow! What does that translate to in dollars? I don't believe CD Baby is a sponsor now, I could be wrong.

Well a play pays about $0.0003. The money is very little but it is nice for us to know people are hearing her songs around the world.
The CD Baby logo is on top of the page on the right, under "partners."

Hey Tom!
Great to hear from you again!!
YAY for Justice's "views", and I hope her health issues have gotten better since the last time I saw you post about them!!!!
I'm sending you a PM regarding "Partners".
I'll trust Brian to decide whether or not it should be clarified on this thread, but yeah, sadly, Everett is correct
Blessings to you & yours!
Midnite

Hi Tom:
I'm happy for Justice as she does her best to move her music career forward in an overcrowded market. It appears that CDBaby has resorted to "streaming"... and to me, that is not a good thing for either, songwriters or artists. I keep hearing the CD is dead but it is still my preferred method of buying and selling music and software. (I want to possess a hard copy.)
Regardless, I wish Justice and you all the very best. ----Dave

CDBaby is not a sponsor of JPF, and hasn't been for a long long time (2011). Taxi recently also stopped but for a good reason that wasn't connected to our long relationship. We still endorse TAXI fully, sponsorship or not, just as wed did long before they were sponsors. The two logos and those on the rest of the site are simply remnants from the old version which were trapped, (still need to address that). Hostbaby does still offer support to the site including helping with some needed adjustments for this upgrade. The social media bar at the bottom of this page is functional rather than a sponsors (someone else asked about that). If you haven't already, give it a try, it's handy!

I can understand your feeling about cd's. I have a personal preference for them but the present and future are streaming. It is not as good for artists but it is the reality and it is not going to go back.
