International swap!

Is your favorite musical artist one of those that nobody else knows about? Do you make it your personal mission to spread the word about talented musicians that are local and haven't yet made it big? Is there a new artist you know about that none of your friends know yet?

Here's your chance to spread the word to some Swap Bot people!

Make a CD with songs from some of your favorite NON-well-known musicians. Some examples: a college band, local artists, musicians from another country, people who do opening acts for larger bands, etc. NO well-known artists please ;-)

Please include the band's website (if they have one) and a little snippet as to how you know them! This is really important. Help spread the word about these musicians!

Music in other languages is fine. Music with no words is also fine.

Try to vary the genre you're using. (I know that if I received an entire CD of country... or ska... I probably wouldn't be too thrilled)

Put up to 3 songs per artist on the CD.

CD should have at least 15 songs.

Other stuff:

Newbies are welcome, just please have your profile filled out.

This is an international swap!

You will have 3 partners.

You should have a rating of 4.5 or above please. I will evaluate everyone who has joined the swap and ban anyone who is questionable. If you have a specific issue, please contact me.

I don't know THAT many unknown type musicians, can it be from maybe 3 musicians/bands?

I say the more artists you can fit on the CD, the better - I would be disappointed if I got a mix w/only 3 bands. There's just so much excellent stuff out there that will never be "big"....

Great idea! I'm lookin forward to it.

lindalee 02/12/2008 #

Hi Carla... let's have at least 7 or 8 bands on the CD. This is definitely a "Challenge" category swap as well as music... You can do it! :D

FYI, everybody, I edited it so that you can have up to 3 songs per artist on there. I can't wait for this swap to start... it looks like it's going to be a small one though! Oh well...

Just in time for this one :O)

I extended the deadline by a couple of days to give people the weekend to join up, since the swap is currently so small.

Also, I extended the send-by date by a full week! :D

What format do the tracks have to be? I just tend to burm things with itunes so they're usually mp4

InceyWincey 03/ 3/2008 #

Sorry. A couple of unexpected things have turned up and I won't have as much time to devote to swaps. Just cutting back on the few that haven't already passed the deadline.

lindalee 03/ 3/2008 #

I don't have a format requirement, MissCraftyUK... so I would just check with your partners that it's ok. Most mp4s will record over just fine if you're using a computer to convert them to mp3 or to put on a non-iPod mp3 player... I do it all the time!

thetestisover 03/ 4/2008 #

mp4? How about some lossless? ;)

A week late, but mine went out today!
