Yes. CD Baby's distribution agreement is non-exclusive, meaning you're free to work with other music distributors. However, you shouldn't deliver the same release to the same platform through multiple distributors.
Streaming and download platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music generally only allow one distributor to manage a specific release. If multiple distributors deliver the same release to a platform, it can create conflicts over ownership, delivery, and royalty payments.
This may result in your release being removed from the platform until the issue is resolved.
When can I use multiple distributors?
You can use different distributors to deliver your music to different platforms — just make sure each platform receives your release from only one distributor.
For example, if another distributor offers access to a platform that CD Baby doesn't support, you can use that distributor for the specific platform while using CD Baby for the others.
What if my release is removed because of duplicate delivery?
If a platform removes your release because it was delivered by multiple distributors, you'll need to choose which distributor will manage the release on that platform.
Once the duplicate delivery is resolved, your chosen distributor can help you determine the next steps.
