The Great Ledge CD swap!

[Dodfather]

Hi guys

Following on from the thread someone started about what other music we all like, I thought it could be fun if we each made a mix cd of our favourites and send it to another Ledgie - kind of like the secret santa thread from last year. Anyone up for it? I just think that hearing other people's choices is a great way to get to know each other!

Of course there must be a way to do this without making the cds and posting them, what will all the digital music services that are out there theses days. I aint down wit da kidz enough to think of one though, other than just writing the lists and telling people to download them! We could of course just get people's e-mail addresses and e-mail the mp3's?

Who's in?? I'll see how popular this idea is and then have a think on how to do it.

How about making a playlist on mediafire and PM'ing the link to the person you're assigned?

Anyhoo, I am definitely up for this Oo...Am I to take it that Mac related stuff is out, as a given considering they've no doubt heard anyway?

This would work but someone would have to tell me how to upload to Mediafire - haha! Yeah, Mac stuff woud be out. There are a few Ledgies I'm thinking of who I'd like to share playlists with.

All you have to do is sign up for the website (absolutely free unless you want a larger capacity), then create a playlist in "my account" area. Once that's done you'll see a tab saying "upload to this folder", where a box will pop up once you've clicked on it. A smaller yellow boxed area is inside with a "click here" instruction. Do so and it'll open your folders section, where you can browse for the files you wish to upload. Once you've picked just click on the green "begin uploading" tab and your files will upload to the chosen playlist. Once all that's done just copy the link to the playlist and voila!

I seem to have unwittingly fallen into the theme of folk music with my playlist lol. I'm starting to realise what my friends mean when they call me a "Damn Dirty Hippie"

[TrueFaith77]

Ok - let's go with a limit of 20 songs. Ones that are your favourites or are just "you". Once I get a list of people up for it I'll do some matches.. or just pm whoever you want to send your list to. I'm away tomorrow so it might be a day or so before I can get going on this though. I just wanted to see who'd be up for it.
