You'd only get $6.50 out of that $14.49 selling price anyway, minus the postage to send CDs to Amazon one at a time. I'm only selling about a CD a month on Amazon these days, and they've got all 8 of mine.Glad it's working! Looks like they magically linked mine last week too. Before the CD wasn't connected to the mp3 version, and the sound clips weren't there. It’s totally not worth it.

Although I'm not sure where the $14.49 price is coming from on Amazon, that's not my list on CDBaby. I might want Advantage just to sell the CD on Amazon for a more reasonable price.

I would email CD Baby first, and then Pandora if you have to. If it comes down to it, I think it's worth the $30 and the hassle for a chance at inclusion.

Pandora doesn't recognize my UPC, so apparently I would still have to sing up for Amazon Advantage to get it more officially on Amazon to statisfy Pandora's Amazon sales requirements. I've been trying to decide if it's worth it? What do you think, Brian? A private message is OK. :) My CD is “available” on amazon, through CDBaby.

If it's any consolation, I haven't heard anything from them since I sent my latest in a month ago.

I've edited the article to mention that. It really is a shame, but the Digital Millennium Copyright Act provides the license for all the music they play, and there is no equivalent outside of the US.
