F.A.Q.

What do you do with my credit card information?
Once your payment has been processed, we do not keep any of your credit card information on file. In order to add another album to your records, you will have to fill out your information again. This will ultimately protect your personal information. We also use PayPal because they are the largest credit card processing company and have a great reputation for high security.

Do you have a money-back guarantee?
We will refund your payment for a returned item, if the item is received within 14 days of the shipping date and the returned item is undamaged and unopened (still in its original packaging). We are not able to refund you for shipping cost, so we recommend you put “Return To Sender” on the package if you changed your mind once you have received the CD.

Please contact us at info@urbanmelodies.com if you have further questions in regards to returns.

Please send all returns to:
Urban Melodies
711-J Street
Sacramento, CA 95814

What payments do you accept?
We accept all credit card payments (Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express, Diner’s Club) and e-checks through PayPal. We also accept money orders and checks, but we will not ship the product until payment has been cleared.

How do you protect my music?
Since we are an online music store, it is the responsibility of each artist and/or record label to copyright your music. We are not responsible for any copyright infringement. We just want to sell as many of your CDs as we possibly can.

How do I listen to the sound files from the site?
You can click on the play button that is listed next to the song title. If there is not a play button next to the song title, the artist choose not to have that song added.

Each song title that is available to be heard will open up in your default mp3 player on your computer. We use mp3 files for better compression and lower file sizes.

How much does it cost to sign up?
We have different payment options to join the Music Store. You can view them by clicking here.

Is there a fee when my album is purchased?
Most record companies and distributors only allow the artist to make $1-$2 per CD sold. In our efforts to empower our artists and record labels to make a successful career in the music industry, we only charge a fee of $3 per CD sold. This will allow the artist and/or record label to make all the money above that fee. For example: An artist can charge $15.99 for their album and they will make $12.99 per album sold!

Do I have to sign a contract?
There are NO exclusive contracts or agreements that you have to sign. Once you pay your processing fee, we will catalog your music for as long as you want to remain an artist. Simple as that!

Can I advertise on the site?
If you are an artist, record label, industry professional, or seeking to reach the urban music market, there are SEVERAL ways to expose yourself on our website.
