If you submit an album to CD Baby that was originally mastered as a continuous mix (like a DJ set), we'll deliver it to digital partners using the track markers you assign. That means the continuous blend you hear on the CD won’t carry over automatically — the tracks will be separate unless you structure them specifically as a continuous-mix release.
How CD Baby delivers mixed albums
- We send the album exactly as you submit it: with each track separated according to the track markers in your upload.
- Digital stores and streaming platforms will receive the tracks individually — not as a seamless, blended mix.
- Because of that separation, listeners may hear a short pause between tracks instead of a continuous flow.
How to release a continuous mix
If you want your album to remain a continuous mix online, submit it as follows:
- Include all tracks individually in your submission form.
- Then make the last track the full continuous mix (i.e., the entire set blended).
- Clearly label that last track as a “continuous mix” (or similar) so it’s obvious to listeners that it’s not a standard standalone song.
- Example structure:
- Track 1: Song A
- Track 2: Song B
- …
- Track N: Full set (continuous DJ mix)
- This ensures listeners get the full experience in one file — not fragmented track-by-track.
Things to note
- If you deliver each track separately, the album will behave like a normal multi-track album on streaming sites.
- If you deliver a continuous mix as a single track, the listener gets the full mix in one file — but that affects how streams or downloads are counted (as one track rather than several).
