Description:
This is just a random swap to give your partner a taste of the music that you listen to. Basically, open up your music playing program, hit "shuffle" and go! Note each song that plays, up to the 19th or 20th song or so (however many will fit on 1 CD!) and burn those songs onto a CD for your partner. I know we all have our occasional "where did I get THAT from??" songs, so I'm allowing up to 3 "skips" :) ... and, yes you can cheat if you have to, but remember this is supposed to be a random (however weird!) sampling of your song collection. Each person will have just one partner. Since this swap is pretty straightforward, try to put a little extra effort into the packaging of your CD. You can include some background info about how you came to listen to certain songs, or maybe make a nice cover... whatever you feel like! Technically, the swap requires just the CD, some sort of case and a basic cover, where the songs are labeled. But, feel free to go beyond that. Have fun! Edit: Please note that your CD should not really be tailored to your partner's taste... it's whatever Shuffle says should go on the CD! So, noone should be offended if the CD they receive does not necessarily match what they may have put in their profile. Just wanted to make that clearer :) BUT, please do note in the "comment" section below if there is a certain genre that you really really REALLY don't like and your partner should try to skip those songs for you. Edit #2: This swap IS international, and newbies should have completed profiles before joining. 4.5+ rated swappers only, please.

Is this swap international?

skwerl81 05/14/2008 #

Yep, I just edited the swap - this IS international, since it's only 1 CD. Also, FYI for my partner - I am open to all genres of music, so no need to do any skipping for me :D

A message for my partner. For all I'm not too keen on certain styles of music, don't stress over what goes on the mix as for me it's a chance to 1. learn more about you should I ever be in a more personalised swap and 2. a chance to hear some stuff I wouldn't have even given a chance before. Same goes for jayven13 (I can say that as he's my hubby)

Fun :] Note to my partner: I won't be too picky for this swap, but if at all possible, please skip any RnB songs. Sorry, but I can't stand it, and hear too much of it at work. Thank you!

Thanks Stitchinwitch :D My LW has pretty much covered it for me, but I just want to add that this swap sounds ace and I'm looking forward to sending and receiving. Anyting I get is just an experience, and as my musical taste is quite diverse my partner may very well make me a fan of someone I've never heard of. Thanks for organising the swap skwerl81.

I'm open to any type of music, so no need to skip any songs for me!!

jayven13 05/23/2008 #

Thats cool JennieMaeD! Can I have you as a partner lol I'm sure I wont offend too many people but once we get our partners please do check out my profile and I'll make allowances :]

Any ole songs work for me, and I don't mind explicit lyrics. So if you land on one like that, have no fear, whoever gets me as their partner. :D

I'll happily listen to whatever my partner sends to me! And please don't worry about explicit lyrics, LOL, I can handle it... HeeHee! :)

Thanks jayven13... I'm glad so many people have been joining! :D

Great swap idea :) To my partner, don't skip any songs. I like pretty much every genre.

skwerl81 05/28/2008 #

FYI to all, I've extended the "send by" date - I am going away for a last minute business trip the week of the 1st, so I just realized I may not be able to send before the 6th! Sorry!!! :)

This sounds really fun I just hope whoever gets my is really open, I have some random music, smile... I am looking forward to this.

ladybree 05/29/2008 #

I'm open to all types of music.

sinisterspackle 05/29/2008 #

Yay music swap! I love getting new stuff. Though I would prefer not to get any religious music if at all possible. Everything else I'm good with :)

stitchinwitch 05/30/2008 #

Sauvageblue can I have you as my partner. I tend to listen to an odd assortment too :)
