Frequently Asked Questions

CDX is the ONLY full service resource in both digital and disc distribution of new Country Music!

We deliver your new single to all Country Radio stations, programming services and satellite companies, radio programming consultants, trade press and other industry professionals. Only CDX brings labels & artists FULL service options across all mediums.

How does CDX work?

CDX digitally distributes new Country Music singles being released by major labels and independent artists through our proprietary InstaTrack download delivery system to radio decision makers and Country Music industry personnel.  Additionally, because radio programmers overwhelming still use our CDX disc to listen to new Country Music, we also send a compilation CD out on the third Monday of every month with the singles submitted for that particular CDX volume.  The mailing of the hard copy CD is accompanied by a digest blast of all the singles contained on the CD for yet more exposure.

Who uses CDX?

Over the years we have worked with virtually every major star in Country Music in distributing their singles to radio and industry decision makers. In addition to our work with every major label in Country Music, CDX partners with hundreds of leading independent artists and music companies. If you are a Country artist, label or producer, CDX is the next step in getting your music to the key radio decision-makers in the Country Music industry.

Press and Appearance Exposure

We host and record artist performance visits in our Nashville office and include those performance videos on our highly-visited CDX homepage. We give our clients the footage for free for their own promotional use.

No other service for distribution of Country Music to radio has the ability to offer radio partners a comprehensive download center of over 25 years’ worth of hit Country Music releases. Because of this, our radio download center encourages regular website traffic of radio decision makers to our site. We pass that benefit along to our clients by sharing their press releases and in-office promotional videos on both our website and our social media network. More exposure for YOU and YOUR music!

International Delivery

Country Music is a valued and respected musical genre in many parts of the world. International musical tastes are often more varied and eclectic than those in the States thus more open to less conventional music and artists.  Numerous independent artists find success abroad that is sometimes is more elusive at home.

Having this trusted source to deliver your music internationally could open up new markets for your music.
