Here is an intro to the Music Exchange.

Hello everyone :) I've had this idea in my head for a long time, and finally I have time to start carrying it out. I am looking for 8 (plus me which equals 9) people (no more, but could be less) to participate. The people who do participate will be in the U.S. (for postage reasons) and will be people I know. This is just a trial to see if my idea works. If it does, then there will be more exchanges in the near future.

I don't know if you're like me~ always wanting to hear new music or different types of music, but never having the money or exposure to do so. The Music Exchange's aim is to get music out to people for *about* less than the cost of one CD! Every person will pick one album they'd like to share with everyone else. It could be any type of music!! There are no limits. You will buy the amount of tapes needed (which will not exceed 8 tapes) and record it for everyone and send them off. Everyone will be buying tapes and everyone will pay for postage (which shouldn't be much since the people will only be in the U.S.) so that everyone comes out even.

The great thing is that you'll get all this music!!! Instead of paying $12.99 on average per CD just to hear one group, you'll only be paying for tapes and postage to hear many groups!

How much will that cost? I went to Target the other day and saw 8 tapes for $7.99 (that was the cheapest) and they're good quality tapes. That's a good deal: about a buck per tape! Postage: I'm not quite sure, but I have sent tapes out to people for 50 cents or a little more. It should not exceed a dollar or so for the normal service (i.e. your mailbox).

What must you have to do this? Well you must have equipment in which you can record your selection on to tape. You must have some music to choose from (he,he,he. . . .kinda obvious) and a little spare cash to get the tapes and pay postage. That's about it. Simple enough.

So are you interested? If so, just send me an e-mail with your home address and I will send you the official Music Exchange paper with every detail you'll ever need to know!!
