CD Baby announces acquisition of Show.co and related assets

CD Baby has acquired Show.co, the digital music marketing platform, and Soundrop, once the most popular playlisting and social listening app for Spotify.

More than 5,000 labels and artists use Show.co to share content and collect important data that strengthens their connection to their fans. The Portland, OR-based firm plans no changes to Show.co’s services.

In addition to continuing Show.co’s offerings, CD Baby plans to revamp Soundrop, which went dormant after Spotify shifted its third-party app strategy. Soundrop will become the new springboard for artists looking for an alternative distribution approach, one that favors constant creation and single-first strategies. The revived Soundrop will be the new home for many Loudr artists, the distribution service CD Baby acquired earlier this year.
