"Once again back is the incredible, the rhyme animal, the incredible D, Public Enemy #1.

Okay all you closet DJs and copyright infringers, it's time for CD Swap #5. Here's how to play...

1) Leave your name below if you wish to participate.
2) Also, send me an email with your sc member name, your real name
(or suitable alias), and your mailing address.
3) Send the email to: umfumdisi at yahoo dot com

I will reply to your email so that you know you are in. Once we have 15-20 (or more) participants, I will arrange you into groups of four or five and send each group an email with the names and addresses of the other members. After that, it's up to you to create, arrange, burn a music CD (not 300 mp3s), and mail the package to each of your group members. You can send as many discs as you want. Track lists are appreciated but not required.

[hr]

Speaking of the minimum, sometimes folks do not send out CDs. This is bad, mmm'kay. Do not sign up for the swap if you do not intend to send out discs.
I know things happen, but the swap is a promise. Early this year I was busy taking care of my new baby, my father passed away, and I lost my job. Still, I sent out discs. So, I don't offer any slack to slackers. If you don't send out discs, you will be BANNED from future swaps until such time that you do send out discs (and even then you will be looked upon with suspicion and derision). Now, the lists...

BANNED:
DexX
theniwrenator
itsclark
Xuanwu
EvilZak
Jael

With the exception of DexX (who isn't around anymore anyway), I have contacted the above members and reminded them of their swap duties. They have not replied. They are right out!

PROBATION:
israphael
trippingbillee
Matchbook_Romance
ivytheplant

These members have replied with their intention to send out discs. I think they will do so. However, they can not participate in another swap until they have done so.

MIA:
Brad

Brad is busy maintaining and improving this awesome site. Send him some money if you haven't already.

Sorry to be so draconian, but no one likes being stiffed in teh swap. Also, if you have reason to add/remove someone to/from the lists, please let me know via pm.

NOTE:
Newbies are generally excluded from the swap just because they're "unknown" entities. However, each case will be evaluated individually. If you have over 50 comics and you've been pretty active since joining, then you're probably in. Add donor status to that, and you're definitely in. After all, I was once a n00b who begged my way into the swap. :)

let me tell you it is about freaking time

I am in.

if we can have this thing all together and wrapped up before October 24th, I'm in. If not, I'll probably be sending a new address that may or may not coincide with another SC user. Intrigued? Good!

That's not it at all, actually.

I'm moving to the UK at the end of October. Depending on the money situation, I may be mooching a floor space off of Jesley or chooby.

Yes. And knowing what it's called is essential to getting why I put it there (it was a phonetic reference).

And sadly, I do not get the reference.

Thus is my life.

Jes 5, standing pi.

PS - the above is a "sai"

I am the in, and once the fucking hotmail server stops being busy I will send dee e-mail

Okay, I'm in again.

TheGovernor would like to formaly state his intent to participate in the fifth installment of the compact disc exchange on this internet comic strip entertainment site.

MikeyG would like to sign up. So he is.

I'm in.

I'm down.

I'd like to be in this one. I've sent my CDs out and since the other three members most likely won't be in a group I'm in, I'll just use the same tracklist and send them after the addresses are received.

Laziness can be an asset, you know.

One question.
If I do the next CD swap, how do I know if some of the songs are MP3? Some say, and I'm guessing some do not. If there are MP3s, would everyone be able to listen to the CD?

^ what he said ^

also, i'll add that a regular audio CD will contain 15-30 tracks depending upon song length.

if you put 200 or so songs on a disc, then you're making an data disc full of mp3s. such a disc sort of defeats the purpose of putting together a mix of songs you want other people to hear for whatever reason.

also, ivytheplant is officially off probation. welcome to Swap #5, kat.

Right now we have 2 groups of 5 persons each.

If no one else signs up before Thursday (July 22nd), I'll send out group emails then. If two more people join, then we'll do 3 groups of 4.

If you still need another participant, I'll join up. I really enjoyed the last swap and wouldn't mind doing it again.

If I'm going to throw off the balance, then don't worry about it. :)

BlairZip offered an excellent swap disc last time, so I'll wait a week or so longer to see if we can get one more person to join.

I'm in! Oh wait, I'm already in. YEEEAAAAARRGGGHHHH!!

Okay, I only need confirmation from BlariZip that he's in, and then I'll get the groups together. I'll create threads for each group and email the addresses. This looks like a super swap.

Confirmation: confirmed! Just sent you my info. TIME TO ROCK, BITCHES!!!!

BlairZip is in. Sign up is done. Groups going out soon.

I'm at a point where I'm getting bored with my music again. This happens about every three years and I end up having a polar shift of taste.

I'm looking for something new or different. This is an open side-swap invitation to anyone involved in Swap #5. Check out my track list here, and PM me if you are interested.

choad, I've still got a CD coming to you, so you're guaranteed at least one other CD. When, I have no idea.

Choad, if you accepted mix tapes, I'd send you something, but no-no, you love 'technology' and 'CDs', whatever those are.
