A to Z Media was born serving the music industry. In the
first decade and a half of operations, we focused almost exclusively
on meeting the needs of independent artists and labels. Our clients
can take advantage of this experience every time we collaborate on a
project. We concentrate on ensuring a hassle-free, cost-effective, high-quality
experience in CD manufacturing and replication. A to Z Media is as passionate
about our work as you are about your music.
A to Z Difference
A to Z Media provides a comprehensive suite of services to help bands,
musicians and labels bring professional music CDs to market –
quickly and economically. We pride ourselves on providing individual,
personal attention to every project and helping each client achieve
their specific goals and objectives.
A to Z Distribution: CD Baby
Through an exclusive distribution agreement with CD Baby, A to Z Media
can help get your CDs into the hands of your fans.
CD Baby is the music industry’s hippest and fastest growing online
store for CDs from independent musicians. CD Baby can create a dedicated
Web page, (www.cdbaby.com/yourname), for A to Z Media clients. The Web
page will showcase your CD along with two-minute sound clips to provide
visitors with a sample of your music. CD Baby can also include links
to your website, online reviews, third-party resources or additional
text to personalize the page.
CD Baby will take care of the online sales, credit card processing and
fulfillment. Every time your CD is sold, CD Baby will automatically
send you the contact details of the independent music lover that bought
it, and put money in your account for payment. CD Baby keeps only four
dollars per CD sold - so, you set the price and the profit for your
music. As an A to Z Media customer, membership with CD Baby is free.

A to Z Retail-Ready: Free Bar Code
Another way A to Z Media helps you get your music out to the public
by providing a free barcode number and graphic to allow for increased
sales and visibility of your release. When A to Z Media packages your
CD, you receive a certified UPC barcode that will enable you to register
with SoundScan retailers and distributors.
A UPC barcode is how retailers and distributors track sales and inventory.
There is a fee involved from the Uniform Code Council to register your
barcode and a few forms needed that we will gladly help you navigate
through. If you will not be selling your CD through stores at this time,
you don’t need to have a barcode. In addition, barcodes can be
applied at a later date as a sticker.
A to Z Experience
Some of our most loyal fans are the customers we have been working with
for years; consistently providing them with the kind of service and
product quality they deserve. To learn more about the artists we’ve
worked with over the years, read our client
