Back again! Let's have some more fun!

Those who have nice sized music collections might have fun doing this. The job is to find songs that fit at least 15 of the categories below and put them on a CD. Don't repeat a category (unless you want to make a second CD, of course). You must use at least 15 different categories for this (although you're always welcome to make another CD and repeat categories from the first one!). You can use more than 15 categories on a CD, but you have to use at least that many.

Make sure to let your partner know which category each song fits into! And please do let them know the artist and title of the song, just in case they love it enough to want more! You'll have two partners for this, and it's international since CDs aren't that expensive to send even internationally.

The categories are:

1 A song that mentions a sign of the Zodiac
2 A song that reminds you of your best friend
3 A song that was popular when you were in high school (or the equivalent thereof)
4 A song about some form of communication
5 A song you really want to share with your partner (explain why!)
6 A song about a crime of some sort
7 What you consider the “perfect” love song
8 A song that mentions a geometric shape
9 A “perky” song
10 A song from any artist’s “Best of” or “Greatest Hits” CD
11 A song that you personally feel is any artist’s greatest work
12 Put your media player or iTunes (or equivalent) on shuffle. Use the first song that pops up.
13 A song from a Disney movie/cartoon
14 A song from a band that you just love the name of
15 A song about a disability of any sort (physical, mental, etc)
16 A song from an artist of which you own at least three CDs
17 A song that has been used in a stage musical
18 A song with a kind of metal in the title (steel, iron, gold, etc)
19 A song that mentions a musical instrument
20 A song that was the sole reason you bought a particular CD
21 A song that mentions a place that doesn’t really exist (Margaritaville, etc)
22 A song from an artist who became famous more than 20 years ago
23 A song that includes at least some talking
24 A song that reflects the time of year where you are (Autumn here in the States)
25 A song about love ending

If you can, it would be nice if people try to explain why they chose certain songs for each category. It's not required, but it'd be nice!

Just so people know, copying tracks off of iTunes in MP3 format can sometimes make it difficult for things to be heard in certain stereos. I've found that this happens sometimes with me and it doesn't with others, so I thought I'd just warn you that if you do that, your partner might not get to hear the music!

Rules

1 Rating of 4.5 or better, with no more than one no send in six months. Go ahead and message me if you’ve been rated unfairly at any point or have a good reason for your lower rating or the no sends, and we’ll talk. I’m certainly open to listening.

2 Newbies allowed, but fill out your profiles. Do this before the final sign-up day, because I like to assign partners as early as I can.

3 Communication is key. If you’re going to be late with the swap, let your partner know. If your partner tells you he/she is going to be late, and keeps up the communication, give him/her a break. Sometimes things come up that just can’t be helped.

4 I reserve the right to ban anyone that I think might be a problem. This means people that I've noticed have a history of rating unfairly, nastiness, etc. I believe in playing nice.
