This was all just a ploy to get your mailing address ;)

Absolutely.
I have other mixed CDs that I've made before, but I think part of the fun in all of this is coming up with something new—and something that is specifically meant for the rather eclectic group that will surely be a part of this.

right! thanks for the reminder. and i know how to do that properly, too.

yeah, i can always ask someone about a playlist from their ipod and dup it or whatever...this way seems more personal. loses something without the cd in hand.

fishy, i completely understand where you're coming from and will be fine with whatever is decided.

i think it is important to come up with NEW mixes - not just rehashing something you've had or made for someone else, in keeping with the whole concept of mix tapes, but that's just me. plus, how would anyone know? LOL anyway, i have already thought of at least 10 possible themes.

CLUB MEMBERS:  I'm going to go ahead and mail out the CDs for now.  Can't help it, I'm a touchy-feely person.  If you haven't already sent me your address and you would like my mixtape, please message me.

I love the idea - I'll kick in when I get a computer after I move.

I'm piloting this month...going to be mindful of how long it takes me and how much it costs.  As long as the mail-out stays at twenty or below, I'm game to do it alone.  If the club gets larger, I'll ask someone to help me with the load and co-host.  The whole point is to stay true to the mixtape.

I like having the CD as well. When friends of mine typically make me a mixed CD, I listen to it in my car more often than anywhere else. I might rip a couple of songs off of it if I want to add them to my iPod, but I like having the CD.

lol the mixtape culture picks a theme, slaves over a playlist, includes minimal to ellaborate cover art, and then sends it off - constantly thinking about it until someone finally comments on the songs you chose.

i can see that, too.

just keep me in the loop. i can always bow out.

It's my preference too, but I can see how mailing out 50 CDs to people can be a bummer.  I'm thinking of maybe taking on co-hosts (to split the mailings 2 or more ways) if the group gets huge, but right now it's under 10 members.

Yeah.
 
But really I get a disc and stick it in the machine immediately anyway to rip it.
