Legitimately Trying: LimeWire Brokers CD Baby Partnership...

LimeWire has now forged a partnership with CD Baby, according to details shared midday Wednesday.  Simply stated, the tie-up stocks the LimeWire Store with CD Baby digital content, part of an ongoing catalog expansion for the file-sharing app.  That means more music from artists like Regina Spektor, Gary Jules, Joe Purdy, Ingrid Michaelson, Melissa Ferrick, Charlotte Martin, Colin Hay, and Stan Ridgway. 

The veteran CD Baby helps distribute content for more than 240,000 independent artists.  "CD Baby and the LimeWire Store both champion
independent artists and give them access to new customers and revenue opportunities, so it's a perfect partnership, really," said Tom Monday, director of Partner Relations for LimeWire. 

The deal closely follows the hiring of Jason Herskowitz, former lead of the now-defunct TotalMusic.
