The song is live.
Nobody heard it yet.
CD Baby did its job: your song is in the stores. Distribution is not promotion. Symphony is the roster of AI agents that runs what happens next.
Partnership perk: 25% off monthly plans for your first year, or 30% off annual plans. Plus 200 free credits on signup.
Where CD Baby stops
CD Baby uses a pay-per-release model: a one-time fee keeps the music live permanently with no annual renewal, and it takes 9% of royalties. It also offers publishing administration, sync licensing, and physical distribution (as of 2026).
Permanent distribution means the song stays in stores forever. It does not mean anyone finds it. The catalog that pays is the catalog somebody keeps working: campaigns, fans, and clean accounting on every statement.
Distribution puts it in the store. Promotion gets it heard.
Maude reads CD Baby statements natively, including CD Baby Pro publishing exports, and flags anything that looks off against your splits.
CD Baby artists get Symphony for less.

Questions
Does Symphony replace CD Baby?
No. CD Baby handles distribution, publishing admin, and sync; Symphony runs promotion and operations. They cover different halves of the same career.
