Caught this over at the Recording Revolution. Graham did a 10 minute review on the service. For only $20 a year, you can have any of your music posted to over 10 different sites like iTunes, Google Music, Spotify, YouTube, etc..... Sounds like a pretty good deal for the price.

Yes, they are much cheaper than CDBaby which I have used in the past; CDBaby is definitely not the only game in town anymore, which is good!! There is another place that claims to do it all for free, I posted a link about it a while back. I haven't used them myself (yet) and don't know anyone else that has, so this is not a recommendation, just posting the link for reference. Here: https://freshtunes.com/

Isn't it basically saying that once you have signed with them and they distribute your music for you to iTunes and all the other digital sites, you can't then go to someone else and get them to distribute the same music? Which is basically the same as CDBaby and reverbnation. But I don't understand any of that legal talk to be honest, makes my head hurt

I would pass on freshmusic as well due to the licensing thing. About the only hope I will ever make on music is through sync licensing. Right now, I control that through a single channel.
Reading that disclaimer above it COULD mean that it's a limited licensing to whatever the Exclusive Distribution Network partners are, but it's hard to determine who those partners are, because they don't specify it directly. They have this comment about who the network partners are:
" “Exclusive Distribution Network” means YouTube (including all versions of it and in all forms) and any other provider or retailer of the Distribution Network which we designate as falling within the Exclusive Distribution Network from time to time."
Seems too loose to me to get friendly with it.
