In response to my mix CD request below, Jon Kilgannon suggests: “I wonder if people would be more amenable to putting a set of 8 – 10 MP3s online rather than creating a CD.”
This is an interesting idea — although I think it’s something I’d like to explore in addition to swapping CDs. After all, part of what I’m hoping to gain from this is, as Kilgannon puts it, “the fun of receiving a package in the mail rife with possibilities”. But his idea has sparked my interest, and I’m curious to know if any (all, what? four?) of you would be interested in the following:
Once a week (or once a month) everyone would upload 5-10 mp3s to share with the group. Themes (e.g. favorite songs, songs that make you cry, etc.) could be suggested. We could either upload them to our individual websites and share the links or create a central location (sending the mp3s to me and having me upload them here is also a possibility, but that might play havoc with my e-mail account). I wouldn’t want this to become just an mp3 swap or dump — I have pretty mixed feeling about online music as a whole — but does this sound like an interesting idea to anyone but me?
