Description:
What's better than a music mix CD? how about 2 CDs!! international For this swap you will make up to 2 CDs - unless they all fit on a single one... The song list will go from A to Z - in that order... that is why you might need to split up your selection to 2 CDs. You do not need to put this into a jewel case unless you want but make sure it is well protected and a playlist must be included... You should try to make a nice variety of music genres and styles too... but you should make this based on your own collection... not feel compelled to go and get music based on your partner's preferences... think of this as an opportunity to share some new sounds with someone else. While it is encouraged to get all letters in you can get a pass on 2 letters... And the target is the first letter in the song title, not artist... so this opens it up in a huge way :) btw - just like when you alphabetize in real life, "the" does not count as a "T" and sure, if you want to add additional music past the "Z" letter, that is cool :) fine print part: no no-sends... new people are welcome with a fully completed profile but don't be that guy who flakes out... really. I reserve the right to bounce people who seem problematic or questionable... m'kay? questions? just ask....

What a brilliant idea - unfortunately I'm in so many CD swaps right now :( I'd love to join if you decide to do a second round though!

Yippee, I checked my music and I can find a song for every letter! Count me in!

I just finished my playlist and it was so much fun! I think I might be able to fit all of my songs onto 1 CD.

i have multiple songs to choose from for each letter of the alphabet except for X V and Z...but i'm sure I can find some in the next few days.

mine turned out really nice. its sort of an indie/alternative pop chill out extravaganza... but mellow 'yknow? i've been working to it, and it's helping me feel very zen and alphabetized.

After Z, I still have space, so I am thinking numbers. 1...2...3....

I also feel "Ex" can be allowed for "X", as in eXtreme, eXit and eXist for eXample.

This is such a fantastic theme! I can't wait to start. i've checked, and the only letter i might have trouble with is "Q", but what's a mixed cd without a little challenge?

so good to see you guys are really getting into this :)

i just finished making my mix! This was so much fun!

I just finished mine as well... wow, what an odd assortment I have in there as well - just 'cause it makes it more fun :) But I got all letters and it looks like it will all squeeze onto one CD :)

Ha ha ha. I hope whoever my partner is has eclectic tastes like me! hee hee hee. :-) I can't wait to see what other people put on theirs! :-)

Done! A through Z, Minus X, Plus NUMBERS! I got 30 songs on one CD. This was lots of fun.

I had a lot of fun putting this together! I got all the letters except X, and added the numbers 1, 2 and 3. Mine is very eclectic too, many genres... But I think it works together. I'm excited to see what I get!

Maybe we could post our playlists here after the swap is done, it would be neat to see what everyone came up with. Not sure if that is appropriate but it could be cool.
