The Music Exchange Thread

I just had a good idea.
It seems that the majority of VR members like similar genres of music, and it seems that everyone likes different bands aswell as similar ones.
SO anyway to get to the point...
Who likes the idea of a music exchange?
The idea is that if there's a band that your interested in hearing advertise here and then people can read it, if they have the music you want they can send it to you via mail, email or MSN, whatever way really! And in return they send you some music that you'd like.

This way everyone gets to hear new music and share their music with others.
So whos up for it? Any suggestions and stuff?

Discuss please...

Ok it seems that people are kinda liking this idea, so just post up adverts here for the music you are looking for.

It might work better if you go along the lines of the the secret santa thingy last year, where we all sign up, and music is randomly distributed (anonymously) between everyone involved. With one person in the know who sends all the 'tunes out

Great idea though!

I like this idea. Anyone that's interested in any of the music I'm into, feel free to poke me on msn or add me to msn and then poke me.
I'll happily spread the electro gospel

Oh, yeah, whatever people want.

On the old Thin Lizzy board they did a smiliar thing with rare Lizzy songs, they talked about a music share program, though i can't remember it's name. Kind of like a napster idea exept between friends, I'll try to find out more about it...

If people continue to show an interest I'll start a new thread where we can start exchanging.

bittorrent would be good, but it's tough to setup, and is a bit OTT for this kinda thing.

What I propose:

? People list what genres they are interested in (vague as possible, because you will have heard all the bands from a very specific genre)
? Everyone submits songs to myself, or whoever decides they will organise it via email
? Once all songs are received, organiser sends out appropriate tunes to everyone on the list
? Organiser can send some select other tunes outside the proposed genres, as the whole point of this is to listen to 'new' music, and expand your tastes - this is at the organisers discretion.

Thoughts?

hmm, a lot of people on here use hotmail, and their accounts arent gonna hold several mp3s, or even one with their 2mb or something space...

^ guildftp...theres probably better ones. i don't know much about the others.

well, i will all put them online on VR, and email links to them to specific people? - good?

That sounds good. I do think a music share thing would be very popular on here.

yeah

maybe if we all just got msn and exchanged our addresses...? or is that too silly.

my sentiments exactly

gah, *aids thread*

has anyone got anything by Radiohead that they think I should check out?
I would be muchly happy if so

The only Radiohead track I have is Karma Police. Ye want me to hop on MSN and send it to you?

I will exchange music for music, easy, drrobbphd@hotmail.com.
