i just learned about DiGiDi and got very excited about it

it's a cooperative digital distributor / aggregator for getting your music online — owned by the people who use it. nonprofit / democratic / transparent / looks amazing at first blush:

is anyone on here familiar with them? any experiences to share, good or bad?

@hilljam You know what? Fuck it, I'm gonna give it a shot. I'm thoroughly annoyed with the hoops I'm going through with getting cover song stuff approved.

@hilljam the bad news is that they mostly work with EU bands and you have to justify working with them from the US. I’m assuming “well you just seem neat” won’t cut it.

@hilljam I had actually replied yesterday with this, and I woke up to an acceptance email…

“I've been frustrated with my existing distributor (RouteNote) and I'm trying to move to something less troublesome. I really appreciate that you are a co-op, it feels much more artist-friendly.

But I have no specific thing pushing me towards you other than your general ethos. Sorry to bother if that's not enough.”

I’ll play with it and report back.
