Apparently, Audiolife works with Reverbnation for distributing music sold by artist over the Reverbnation website. I once had a Reverbnation account and at one time looked in to selling my music through them. But I decided against it, and never paid the extra fee for that service. Nine months later, I head from one of my fans in Belgium. She had ordered one of my CD's through Reverbnation about 8 months earlier. The CD was manufactured and mailed by Audiolife. She sent me a copy of the receipt and a picture of the product. It was a blank disk and a blank jewel case! I've been in contact with both Audiolife and Reverbnation over the last two months. Neither company can tell me how this happened, or how this is not copyright infringement. Neither company will pay me for my music that they sold without my permission, and neither company will reimburse my fan for receiving an inferior product. I suggest that you be very careful dealing with these companies. At least from my experience, they stole my music and keep the money!

At one point I considered a merchant account but decided against it when I got to the end of the sign up and discovered the price. 9 months later, I find out from one of my fans in Belgium that she ordered one of my CDs several months ago. It was sent by a company called Audiolife. When she got the CD, it was just a blank disk and case with no graphics. I never authorized them to sell my music, and I never received any money for them selling my music. I've been in contact both with Audiolife and Reverbnation but neither can tell me how this happened. Neither will they pay me for my music or my fan for an inferior product.
