Description:

After searching all the swaps, I decided to make a mix cd swap. Any songs, any genres, any language, whatever. No theme required. I just want some new bands to obsess over.

Rules:
-You will have two partners and international swappers are welcome. Mix cd's must be sent out by swap date.
-Include at least 15 songs. I'm sending 20.
-Try to have every song be by a different band/person, for a little variety. If not possible, send at the most 2 songs by the same person.
-Try to include different genres. Not everyone likes hip-hop. Not everyone likes techno.
-Some songs from a different country or language are always appreciated. (I always send some Japanese ones.) But try not to make the entire cd that way. (For instance all French. It's really hard to sing along if you don't know French :D )
-Make a cover to slip into the case. Make it pretty or weird, you decide. Just have something. Include the names of the songs and bands, that way if your partner loves something, they can find it. Also come up with a name for the mix cd.
-If you feel up to it, write why you like the songs, or a little about yourself. Just have fun.
-Since I like receiving swaps, all users with a rating below 3 will be banned. Save time, don't join.

Have fun and Happy Swapping! (message me if you have any questions!)

Can you give me some advice on how to create cool covers for my CDs? Is there a computer program that is good?

Thanks!

KnitChik: I'm into self punishment, so I'll usually draw on the cover But the there is an iamge program that's free called GIMP you can use. You could also do a collage, but make sure it's flat so it'll fit into the case.

I just usually do something a piece of paper and slip it in. I'm not cool enough to use computers :D But I'll add stickers, label-makers, and so on, and it helps that I can draw. But really, do whatever you feel you can.

I almost always use Word to import an image and type my playlist. Simple, only a little folding and trimming required.

Another option is to find a cool picture in a magazine, cut it to size (cropping the coolest part), and using that. You might have to glue it to a piece of poster board to keep it in place.
