Artist Priority Service We have a special email JUST for the artists. We will respond within 24 hours to any questions or concerns or if you need your web page updated (i.e. news, bio, gigs). We want to be "The Home of The Independent Musician"tm. With priority, friendly customer service, and an affordable price, we want to be your home!

How do I sell my CD? - There is a simple and quick submission form we need you to fill out. Mail us just FIVE CDs to start out. Once we get your CD's and the submission form we make your webpage, upload some of your songs (which you choose!) and your CD is ready to be sold! Your CD does not need to be shrink wrapped but it would look more professional to your fans if you did shrinkwrap. We do need your CD's to have cover sleeves.

What can Music-Buffet.com do for me? - We warehouse your CD and make a webpage which is used to PROMOTE and SELL your CD. Whenever your CD sells we notify and send you a PAYCHECK! Your webpage, which we make and design for you, contains sound clips, images, and news regarding you and your CD. We also offer PREMIER placement of your CD image and Artist info to increase your visibility. Click HERE for more info! We can help you STAND out! We listen to every CD so we can help our customers find the music they WANT!

How many song clips do I get? - Your submission fee gets you three song clips at two minutes a piece. On the submission form it will ask you what songs you would like to use as your clips. When you send us your CD we will upload the songs you chose! We keep the songs at two minutes because we want people to buy your music ...not steal it! If you are interested in putting more song clips than three songs we can do that for you. For each additional song after the third it is only $2.00 per song. Check out our premium services page for additional services we can offer you!

How much does this cost me? - We have a LOW $15.00 submission fee . This is a ONE TIME FEE for the REST of your life! It really does take us about 30 minutes to get your page and all the links up and running for your CD plus we have employees to pay :). Whether or not your CD sells you will NEVER have to submit a fee again. If your CD's sell we notify you and ask you to send us more. Your submission fee is good until you decide to stop sending us CDs!

Can I set the price of my CD?- Of course! You set how much you want to sell your CD for. Keep in mind that you want to keep your CD price reasonable and affordable! Check out this tip for your CD price click here.

How much does Music-Buffet keep from my CD price? - We keep just $4.25 per CD! We know other sites charge more (like $5.00 plus) but we want to keep it affordable and reasonable for YOU the artist. Here is an example of how it works. If you charged $12.00 for your CD we would keep 4.25 and you would keep $7.75....not too shabby! The $4.25 we charge covers our handling fees and our expenses for storing your CD and paying our employees! With record deals you would get about $1.00 per CD! Being independent pays!

WHEN and HOW do I get PAID? WHEN YOU WANT! That's right! We can pay you either every two weeks, monthly, or every six months. You tell us when you want your $PAYCHECK$ Just let us know on the submission form. We pay by check or by PayPal - You decide!
