Description:

I participated in emmyisyummy’s swap and am signed up for needleninja’s #2 but I love doing these so much I wanted to create a new one!

This, however, is a bit different.

Each of you will have 2 partners. There are 40 different scavenger options to choose from, which options to choose re up to you. So, everyone will be somewhat surprised come mail day :) I like to add a lot of songs onto a CD so feel free to put as many as possible, but please add at least 10 songs.

I would like it if each participant had their profiles filled out with at least a 4.0 rating. If you’re a newbie, like me, that’s fine, just have your profile filled out. I am willing to angel if there are any problems but I know with this great crowd there won’t be.

I hope the instructions aren’t confusing. If they are PM me and I’ll fix it…sometimes things in my head make more sense than when they come out of my mouth or…well, fingers :)

INTERNATIONAL

Please make this CD player ready :)

Here are the list options:

  • A song by an artist with #’s in their name
  • A reggae themed song (some pop songs use reggae beats – be creative)
  • A song from the 80’s
  • A song with a weapon in the title
  • A song about a song
  • Your favorite song to workout too (working out can be any movement – cleaning house is a hell of a workout)
  • A song with a flower in the title
  • An annoying Top 40 type jam that will not get out of your head!
  • A song with a city in the title
  • A country song about something that isn’t very moral (example: Fancy; about prostitution)
  • A song by a British rock band
  • A song with weather in the title (the word or any kind of weather)
  • A song by a local band
  • A song with the word star in the title
  • A song that makes you extremely happy
  • A song about a car or with a car in the title
  • The song you had with your very first bf/gf
  • A cover of a Beatles tune
  • A song with an ! in the title
  • A song with no lyrics
  • A live song
  • A song with a name in the title (ie: Krista by Kevin So)
  • A song with a naughty word in the title
  • A song from the early 90’s that is still soooo fun even if it’s cheesy
  • A song with a religious figure in the title
  • The song you listen to when you’re really angry
  • A song with your birthday month in the title.
  • A song without meaning, no one has any idea what it’s about
  • A song about a parent or with a parent in the title
  • A song with a drink in the title
  • A song by a "crooner"
  • A song with cry in the title
  • A song from the 60's

Music nerds make the world go round!

smallfry 08/29/2008 #

Should the whole CD be from one topic? or can we mix and match topics?

krstawrdtravels 08/29/2008 #

If by topics you mean the 40 options, you choose different options for each song. If this isn't what you mean you can PM me...I might be totally off base :)

xforsakenxmemoriesx 09/ 1/2008 #

I can't wait. I'll probablly have the cd's already made before the sign up is over.

Do you have to send the same cd to both people or can you make 2 seperate ones?

krstawrdtravels 09/ 1/2008 #

You can make 2 separate CD's or the same, it's all up to you.

5trawberry 09/ 4/2008 #

This is going to be so fun!!!

...Should I be literal...or tongue-in-cheek...Hmm... :).

Canariangal78 09/ 4/2008 #

It's going to be fantastic! Some of the options looked 'tricky' at first but not at all! I have found several songs for each :) so plenty to choose from when the time comes to prepare the mix CDs. Sooo looking forward to it lol.

krstawrdtravels 09/ 4/2008 #

I vote tongue-in-cheek!

BossDJ 09/ 4/2008 #

I'm looking forward to this. It will be my first swap.

peatree 09/ 7/2008 #

i may possibly be in love with you for creating this swap! :)

jessicababyy90 09/ 7/2008 #

This is the coolest swap I've seen yet! :)

krstawrdtravels 09/ 7/2008 #

Aww thanks ladies :) I sort of made out with myself for like an hour after coming up with the idea lol

But seriously, thanks so much for joining!

mirrorkiser 09/ 8/2008 #

Banshee 09/ 8/2008 #

Just to invite everybody to All the music I have CD swap

krstawrdtravels 09/ 9/2008 #

I just want to remind everyone to please have a complete profile before the sign up deadline. I don't want to but I will have to ban swappers without it :(

marilavado 09/ 9/2008 #

I'm in!!! Wow, this is going to be awesome!!! =D I'm gonna start with the cds now!

wokeupmissing 09/ 9/2008 #

finished up my mix, last night. just waiting to find out whom i send them to.

chloecrossland 09/ 9/2008 #

oh man, i am so excited for this one. excellent ideea!

xine 09/11/2008 #

do we include the options we picked in the package or do we let the recipient guess? :)

krstawrdtravels 09/11/2008 #

I think it would be a nice gesture to include the options picked but it is up to the participants.

papersky 09/12/2008 #

Finished my mix today! Can't wait to see who my partner is! I'll probably send out right away since I've got it already burned! Haha!

sylviamay 09/14/2008 #

i finished my cds today and had so much fun choosing the songs!

id0be1ieve 09/15/2008 #

I don't want to seem horrible, or put a dampener on the high spirits here (especially as I, myself, am most excited at the prospect of this swap, too!!! :P), BUT my over-anxious mind comes into play here, leading me to the following question: What is the actual law behind swapping 'mix-CDs'? I have tried to look it up online, but had no luck... If anyone could advise me, it'd be highly appreciated :-) p.s. I live in the UK...

krstawrdtravels 09/15/2008 #

I believe, at least here in the States, that if you own the song or album it is not illegal to copy it to another disc for the purpose of a backup. I do not know UK laws and you would have to research that on your own.

id0be1ieve 09/15/2008 #

Thanks for the reply and the welcome :-) Yes, the same applies in the UK I do believe regarding it not being illegal to make a copy as a backup...but there seems to be a rather grey area when it comes to mix-cds.... I really want to stay in the swap, not drop-out, but my consience advises otherwise...eek!! :P

JayNizzy 09/15/2008 #

Hi everyone, this'll be my first CD swap. This seems like so much fun. Just to be sure, before I make a fool out of myself, How do we feel about profanity? One word ok? None at all?

I know people on here are all different ages and I don't want to offend anyone or send someone a CD they can't listen to in polite company. Any ideas? plmk

krstawrdtravels 09/15/2008 #

id0be1ieve - That's fine, a personal decision, but if you own the music then There is nothing really wrong with it. If you are downloading from a site without paying then that would be a problem on its own lol

JayNizzy - I feel swaps are an "Enter at your own risk," deal. If a swap doesn't classify an anti-profanity clause I don't think it will need to be inforced. That being said, you can learn a lot about your partner from their profile. I, myself, like a casual four letter word once in awhile :)

krstawrdtravels 09/16/2008 #

I've assigned partners and sent out an e-mail as reminder :) If anyone got the e-mail twice I apologize.

id0be1ieve 09/16/2008 #

Thanks for the advice :-) From what I have read (and the fact that it is my music - i.e. not illegally downloaded), methinks tis fine too, so.. hurrah, hooray - I'm up for this swap!! :D (yay! :P) ... Ooo I can't wait!! ..Off to burn the first CD now! :-)

xforsakenxmemoriesx 09/16/2008 #

Do we have to pick songs that fall into what the person receiving likes. I don't want to send someone a CD that they won't like at all. I personally listen to all types of music but I don't want to send something that they won't like. I already have my play list made just not burned yet.

id0be1ieve 09/16/2008 #

argh - after finally deciding to stay in the swap, my computer has decided it no longer wants to write any disks - it will not burn any songs to CD! :-( ...sorry to seem like a fool, but...what do I do now? I don't want to drop out, hence lowering my feedback score etc :-( so sorry... x

Canariangal78 09/16/2008 #

Hi id0be1eve :) you could check with your friends and borrow their computer for a few minutes to burn the CDs. I am sure there must be someone around you who has a laptop etc to burn CDs. Cybercafes nowadays also allow to do this (at least in my area). Good luck, I really hope you'll get this sorted out and enjoy the swap :)

krstawrdtravels 09/16/2008 #

This may sound silly but have you tried restarting your PC? I am on a Mac now but when I used a PC I had to restart sometimes in order to burn discs.

Is this doesn't work let me know and we'll figure something out.

krstawrdtravels 09/16/2008 #

xforesakenxmemoriesx: This is a scavenger swap so it does not have to fit the partners likes or dislikes. Send what fits the criteria. I think if a person adamantly hates all music in a certain genre (which I find hard to believe as I'm a huge music nerd and LOVE something in every genre even polka lol) they will just enjoy other songs on the CD.

id0be1ieve 09/18/2008 #

I have tried restarting my computer, yes and have hunted high & low for a solution online, as well as trawling through my PC, but with no luck :-( I have also tried on my brother's computer, but he appears to have the same error :-S I know they have both burnt discs fine before, so it's terribly unfortunate timing. Thank you for your help too canargiangal78, in suggesting about cybercafes - the problem is that I haven't got my music on the computers there (obviously...even if I could find one remotely near to me!) and have no way of putting it on there - they would not allow me to rip it from my own CD there, etc... :-( I really am so terribly sorry..not to mention worried re the 2 people i am meant to be sending to/my rating :-( I really had great fun putting my mixes together and was really looking forward to sending them out!

morgiewowza 09/23/2008 #

@ id0be1ieve:

You could always save your music to a flashdrive (if you don't have one you can get a small one for $5 at staples) and then upload it into a cyber cafe's computer. If you can't find a cafe to use...how about the library! They have computers you can use. You could also save the songs to the flashdrive and send that along with your track list and which song fits in which catagory and your partner could burn it herself.

id0be1ieve 09/26/2008 #

thank you all for your help - especially to those who gave me ideas/tips or advise, the swap co-ordinator and my partners, for their patience. I have finally (on the day of the send deadline - hence I am now about to RUN to the post office!! ;P) got it sorted :-) So yes - ta to all, once again :-) Hope you are all well! x
