Disc Makers Births a CD Baby; Watch Out Google!

Oh mergers are so fun. You know, companies merge, un-merge, re-merge, then de-merge; it’s really a spectator sport for the ages. So, coming hot on the recent news that Sony Music and Bertelsmann were un-merging (TMT News), everyone’s favorite full-service CD and DVD manufacturer, replicator, and duplicator Disc Makers has gone ahead and acquired everybody’s favorite still-cool-but-no-longer-so-little independent music retailer, CD Baby.

According to CD Baby founder Derek Sivers’ blog, “the CD Baby staff, location, name, and everything else will stay the same, but I think you’ll start to notice more attention given to improvements that help you sell more music.” So nothing’s going to change at all? I’m still bitter over what Vivendi did to MP3.com after they bought that, so allow me room for skepticism, but here’s hoping that Disc Makers keeps it classy and doesn’t turn CD Baby into something like this. Do us proud, Disc Makers, do us proud.
