I recently switched from CD Baby to GYROstream for my music distribution and wanted to share this in public. Some independent artists may find it useful. ## why CD Baby used to be great - you pay once and they handle everything, taking just a percentage of your profits. Simple and straightforward. But since their acquisition, I've noticed significant changes in their service quality: - Impossible to get any human support - Extended wait times and inspection queues - If something goes wrong, sometimes they won't tell you what it is, and since no one in support answers, it's frustrating ## my experience with GYROstream  Just a few days ago, I made the switch to GYROstream. While the UI isn't phenomenal, the upload process was swift and a bit more robust than CD Baby, and my EP was released in just two days. The support team also responded promptly to my questions as a new user. ## pricing considerations GYROstream is a bit more expensive than CD Baby. I opted for the yearly plan per release. They also offer a "forever" option where you can pay a one-time fee (about 29.99 AUD for singles or 49.99 AUD for albums) ## what's next? I'm still deciding what to do with my existing releases on CD Baby.
