2 Weeks Free with Rhapsody

	posted by gman on Saturday April 19 2008 @ 10:24AM PDT
	Derek, Chris or anyone from CD Baby that knows the answer: I noticed that Rhapsody gives away a 2 week free trial to gain potential customers. If those customers stream a CD Baby artist's music while the customer is in the 2 week free period will the CD Baby artist get paid for their streams?

	I would hope so!

However I would remember you that Rhapsody (and also Napster) pays just about 0.009 cents per click. 100 streams = less than 1 dollar. .. http://cdbaby.com/cd/centerbapusher http://www.aboutmusictheory.com/chords-alterations.html

My first CD, "Sounds of The G..." just got to Rhapsody so I don't know what their stream rate of pay is yet. http://cdbaby.com/cd/theg and http://cdbaby.com/cd/theg2

	The 2 week free trial is a promotion that encourages people to sign up for Rhapsody and despite that they should pay CD BABY artists when their customers stream our music. It is not like they are loosing money when they pay us " One penny = One stream " The more people stream your music, the more you know which music sells and which do not. - Daniel Chege http://cdbaby.com/cd/poppahiphop
