Hi Carl,
I had a listen to your songs over on youtube, very nice, I especially liked "Blue Heart".

A few of us have done CD's via CDBaby. The basic setup is actually quite fast, including sending out to all the digital distribution places, unless you choose the Pro Publishing package which also includes the ASCAP/BMI/performing rights society registration.

Anyway it is a fun thing to do, and doesn't cost that much money in the grand scheme of things.

Best of luck with it!
