Once your CD Baby Pro Publishing release has been finalized for digital distribution, you won't be able to add or fix a self-owned publishing affiliation from within your account. If you need to add or fix a self-owned publishing affiliation, please submit a request through the CD Baby Pro Publishing Help Center request form. Please see below for instructions on how to submit your request.

Please allow 2-3 weeks for your request to be processed by our Pro Publishing team. You will receive an email confirmation once the changes have been made in your CD Baby account. We will then send updates out to all the collection societies we’ve registered your works with. It can take your Performance Rights Organization (PRO) and other collection societies up to 2 calendar quarters to update your works registrations.

Please note, if a songwriter has a self-owned publishing affiliation we need to add it as the publisher to all songs signed up for CD Baby Pro Publishing for that songwriter. This will have no impact on how royalties are collected or paid out, it will only indicate that the publishing is owned by the publishing entity as opposed to the individual. We will administer the publishing on behalf of the publishing entity as opposed to the individual.

How to submit an Add/Fix Self-Owned Publishing Affiliation request
