Re: Re: CDBaby.com

Richard has given so much help on this list over the years that even if it is a spam I don't mind. Congrats Richard! Mike Eheler wrote:

I'm not sure what to make of this? Is it spam? Is it an acclaim? What is it? Mike Richard Lynch wrote:

As you may know, I run a tiny record label "No Genre" in Chicago. Ulele's "Seed" CD released last week on "No Genre" has been selected as a Featured CD on the FRONT PAGE of http://cdbaby.com/ This is a HUGE DEAL in the independent music world! CDBaby is the 2nd-largest on-line retailer of music CDs, only behind Amazon.com, and gets God knows how much traffic. Since 1996 when he started it to sell his own CDs and a few bands he was friends with CDBaby has built up to: o 11,810 artists sell their CD at CD Baby. o 149,538 CDs sold online to customers. o $903,821.30 paid to artists. They get about 40 CDs *every* day, so it's a pretty big honor. Oh, did I mention this site and the "admin" site at http://cdbaby.net" and the "community" site at http://cdbaby.org are all *ENTIRELY* PHP-based, and written by a musician who isn't really a programmer? He picked PHP as the only language that didn't scare him away. Anyway, if you like music or just want to see how slick a PHP site from a non-programmer can be, check out his sites. http://cdbaby.com/ulele/
