vintagelaureate Posted May 11, 2019 Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 So, with the festival looming I thought it was time to start the CD Swap thread. I spoke to @SwedgeAntilles who ran it last time and I'm going to give it a go this year. To quote last years thread: The idea is that you reply to this thread if you want to take part. Then make a CD mix of confirmed 2017 Glastonbury artists, I'll separate everyone groups of 4, you swap addresses in PM with the rest of your group, then post em out. You then receive 3 analogue, old school, compact disc playlists to listen to in the last couple of weeks running up to the festival! I did it last year and a great group, and it gave me some great mixes to listen to on the drive down. If you want to take part comment on the thread, I'll split the group next weekend to give people time to register their interest. Once we were split last year, my group used WhatsApp or DMs to sort out postage etc. This was last year's thread for this interested: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buddiepaul Posted May 11, 2019 Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 Count me in please. Done it the last few times and it is good fun (and you get some very good mixes too!). Listened to one of the ones I received from 2017 the other day in the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avalon_Fields Posted May 11, 2019 Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 (edited) Yes I’m in, I can add to my collection (I’ll have to include Vampire Weekend’s Hold You Now as it’s on just now and I love it).

Strange as it sounds I'd imagine that a lot fewer people today have the ability to actually burn CDs compared to 2+ years ago. A decent number people are ditching home computers and using some combination of phones/tablets/smart tv/etc instead. Even if they do have access to a computer, it's no longer likely to have an optical drive - in the current quest to cut size and weight, that's been one of the main casualties on a lot of models.

I listened to your CD from 2017 in the car at the weekend again. Still sounds good. Also took @Supernintendo Chalmers double CD out from the shelf and that will get a listen in the next couple of days too. Not to forget all of the others that will get an airing too.

After reading this I went to check that my CD drive still works and apparently it is stuck (RIP my copy of Wolfgang by Phoenix which is apparently what is stuck in it). I guess I need to take myself of the list? ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supernintendo Chalmers Posted May 16, 2019 Report Share Posted May 16, 2019 I guess the alternative is doing an mp3 file share on Dropbox or something? Limit it to 13 tracks, cover optional Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Limit it to 13 tracks, cover optional Open that up as an option maybe? I have terabytes of downloaded music etc. but still get physical things too - mainly vinyl, but I will pick up CDS for the car. I'm a bit odd like that! Edited May 16, 2019 by vintagelaureate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess then people could just rip them as CDs should they want it in that format? Give a song/time limit instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
