Just like in the physical world, there can't be more than one music distributor bringing the same album to the same store. Otherwise, when the album sells, how would the store know which distributor to pay?
We will never prevent you from doing anything you want with your music.
Your agreement with CD Baby is non-exclusive. You are able to use multiple distribution companies at once, but please make sure that your content is not being distributed to the same partner more than once.
For YOUR sake, though, please note: If you sign two digital distribution deals with two companies that will both be sending the same album to iTunes™, Spotify, etc - this will hurt you, because the retailer will usually remove the album completely until you decide which distributor has the exclusive right to be selling that album through them.
However, if a CD Baby competitor offers distribution to a partner that we do not have a relationship with, then it is perfectly acceptable to use their distribution services for that one partner (and then use CD Baby to distribute to everyone else).
