Digital Audio Insider is David Harrell's blog about the economics of music and other digital content. I write from the perspective of a musican who has self-released four albums with the indie rock band the Layaways.

28 Days for iTunesby David Harrell
CD Baby delivered our third album to the iTunes store on November 20th and it went live today. Not quite as speedy as Napster, but I think that was quicker than the delivery-to-available-for-sale times for our first two discs.
As I mentioned in a previous post, there's currently no way for most self-released musicians to set a specific release date for digital retailers with either TuneCore or CD Baby.
