The Keys, and Beyond…

I just put together a music player widget that has all of the tracks from my Ticket To Antarctica album. It’s yours for free to add to your website or blog! Here it is:

You just need to click the “Get Widget” thing right above here, and then copy the code to add to your site or blog. Easy! I made this widget - and many more - at Widgetbox.com.

Hope you enjoy the widget!

If you’re a musician who is selling CDs/downloads through CD Baby, then I’m sure you’re already well aware of the relaunch they initiated back on July 11th. And if you’re a customer, you’ve probably noticed the cosmetic changes there. Unfortunately, there have been a few hiccups along the way within the upgrading of the site - mostly in the artist admin area from what I understand. While it doesn’t sound like that customers have been affected all that much during the transition (from what I’ve read on their message boards), I just wanted to post about it in case you’re trying to buy one of my CDs - or download a track or complete CD - and are having some issues. CD Baby has been assuring its artists that all orders are being fulfilled, and if there are any problems, they are fixing them as soon as customers bring them to their attention.

I’ve been with CD Baby since I’ve been online with my music, so I’m hoping they’ll be able to get things fully under control so that it’s a better experience for all involved - especially the customers. They’ve definitely got some improvements already done or in the works, one of which being that you can now download single tracks (just like on iTunes). To have a little fun with this new feature, I’ve lowered the price of my most popular tracks to .69 .49 cents each. If you’re up for trying out their new single-track mp3 download feature, feel free to give my album “Skip Back” a try - all songs are currently .69 .49 each. Not sure how long I’ll leave ‘em at half price, but it sounds like a good idea for now so I’m rolling with it. :)

Hi All,

Just sending a quick shout out to let you know that I will soon be wrapping up my “Antarctica” CD project. I am very excited about it, and I want to be sure as many of you as possible have a chance to hear it ASAP. So, I am also working on a contest (don’t worry, it will be a very easy contest to enter and win!) to enable you to do just that. More details to come later…

Until then, I hope you’re all having a great summer!
