This is the forum to discuss things related to the Stripcreator CD swap.

Here's a quick repost of the stuff I said in the thread in the General Discussion forum:

I'd like to keep this swap as simple as possible and see if it actually works. If this one comes off without a hitch, maybe we can do another round and complicate it and make it harder to manage.

It will be audio CDs rather than MP3s.

I'm not going to do any geographical sorting. If postage is going to be an issue, you may not want to participate.

If you want to be involved, send your mailing address, your email address and your Stripcreator username to cdswap@stripcreator.com by Monday, December 16th. You will get a confirmation reply.

I will divide the names and addresses up into groups and I will mail the group address lists out on Thursday, December 19th.

Once the group lists are sent, you have until January 19th to mail your mix CD to the people in your group. Please label and include track lists with the CDs.

First reply. yay.

Batman created by Bob Kane

Does anyone have a CD-burner I could appropriate?

It'd help if you were in the European area.

Fourth reply. Yay.

I have to check on postage rates to Australia before I really start feeling depressed about not joining in.

I have a CD burner you could use Andy, but it's on my Mac, and you said nasty things about it, so you can go jump off a bridge, faggot.

...Trot and Cap'n Bill were free from anxiety and care. Button-Bright never worried about anything. The Scarecrow, not being able to sleep, looked out of the window and tried to count the stars.

This is going to be so much fun.
I can't wait to see what you all think of my accordion playing.

"You'll burn for this. Burn in jail!"

The original of that song rocked, but the remake was shit.

100 pounds of shit in a 25 pound sack.

sorry if i sound a little dense... but what does the no Mp3 restriction apply to? I mean, all the CDs I mix are almost exclusively Mp3 files originally... but the CD's i burn play on all normal CD players... I'm a bit confused.
Can someone straighten out my stupid ass?

Ham-fisted ham fisting.

Burn a music CD that plays in a CD player, not a data CD with a shitload of MP3s on it. Sounds like you're doing the right thing.

Ahhhh sooo desska... thank you very much, man who is fuzzy.

If none of you use like five-year-old CD players, I doubt if you'll have trouble with MP3s. I THINK all the new players support them.

That could be your deal too, Artemis. Maybe you're using a CD player that supports MP3 files. Might I suggest Nero: Burning Rom? It has a feature that allows you to automatically burn all music files as CD audio tracks.

If I'm the one being dense, please don't hesitate to slap my stupid ass straight... er... I'll shut up now.

I donno... i use roxio, since that's the app that came with our fabulous dell, and when i burn the cds, i do it under "Make Music CD" not "Make Data CD", so I gather that there should not be a problem... plus, my portable disc player that I use is like four years old or more, and the other ones I have are even older, and my dics work on those as well...

On a side note, I have my track list almost completed... just have two more songs to dig up... then the cancer that is my horrible taste will be spread globally....

A-Moo-Wah-Hah-Hah-Hah-Ahhhhhhh....

ahem... so... yeh...

Ham-fisted ham fisting.

That's about where I'm at too; wracking my brain over those last few tracks.
Too old... no, too mainstream... no, too long, ect.

"You'll burn for this. Burn in jail!"

Whoo-hoo! Got all the Cds burnt, got all the liner notes printed, and now they all sit on my computer desk, snug and warm in their jewel cases, waiting to be sent off to the post!

whoopee... hopefully a couple might get to their destinations by christmas... Happy Holidays!

Mine are burnt, but I don't have the cases yet. Don't expect much in the way of fancy packaging, by the way. :p

I'll either post or e-mail my impressions of the music I chose, and why I chose it (if such a thing can be articulated in the first place) after I've received confirmation that those of you who are on my list have recieved and listened to the CDs. I would like you to formulate your own visions/opinions from the music before hearing about mine.

I was going to buy some CD labels and jewel case inserts, but boy, they want to charge and arm and a leg for that stuff. Looks like it's Ye Olde Paper Cutter and scissors for me.

Wow, you guys are really into the holiday spirit. :-)

You ain't kidding (Hiccup!)

This year I'm trying something new. Eggnog without all that damn eggy crap in it.

"You'll burn for this. Burn in jail!"

I would participate, but the only person who I would really want to hear anything from is likely Drexle, and I've probably heard most of the stuff he has.

---
Do you want ants? Because that's how you get ants.

The whole point is you get to listen to stuff you wouldn't normally check out. Stop being such a metal snob.

My collection might surprise you, DX.
The Osmands can be quite edgy at times.

Kidding aside, I'd like to trade with Drex myself on the next go-round.
