So it's been a few months since the last mixtape exchange, and it's now time for Mixtape Exchange #8! Previous mixtape exchanges have been hosted by Ms. Magpie, Redgirl76, David, The Escapist, and Ivet.

 

The Coldplaying Mixtape Exchange is a fun way to discover new music while also giving you the chance to share music that you enjoy with other Coldplayers. Basically what happens is that you'll be given the name of the person who you will be making your mixtape for, and all you have to do is get together some songs that you really like, that go well together, and/or that your partner has most likely never heard before; but you must not let anyone know who you're making your mixtape for, and your partner must not know what exactly he or she is listening to - it has to be a surprise! After your partner reviews your mixtape, you will then get to reveal yourself and the tracklisting. You will of course be receiving a mixtape to review as well!

 

 

And to make things simpler, here is the list of rules copied from RedGirl76 and previous exchanges.

 

RULES:

1. Sign up saying you want to participate - leave your name on the thread or PM me directly

2. When the deadline for signing up is over, you'll get a PM from me giving you the name of another participant in the Exchange. You will be making a mix for this person, whoever they may be

3. You mustn't reveal who you are making the mix for

4. Make your mix-tape (average length is around 50-70 minutes) and delete the info for each song.

5. Upload the mix-tape to something like rapidshare and send me the link and a tracklisting. I will then send it to person assigned to you, keeping your identity a secret of course!

- if you're able to, and this makes it way simpler for everyone, put your music files in a .zip or .rar. You can download

winrar

(

64bit

/

32bit

) to do this

6. When you receive a mix-tape, listen to it, write a review and post it in this thread.

7. The person who made the mix-tape will then post the track-list and the link so everybody can download it. Simple as that.

8. At the end, I will link all the tapes, tracklistings and reviews to the first page so everyone can download them.

Note: Please make sure before you sign up that you're actually going be able to follow through on this, or at least let me know before the deadline ends if you're going to be too busy to participate and you need your name taken off of the list. In past mixtape exchanges, several people never received mixtapes or reviews because their mixtaper/mixtapee never bothered to go through with it, and that's pretty inconsiderate to those who worked hard to make a mixtape and never got anything in return. Mixtape exchanges only happen a couple times a year so they're to be taken pretty srsly.

Friday, April 8 at 12 am CST (GMT -6) - Sign up ends

sign me up! :D

I'm in! :awesome:

hello

 

 

 

(sign me up)

I think I may try this one. :blush:

Don't sign me up yet though I have to think about it.

 

If I get a Muse hater I'm screwed. :|

not that I'd fill my mixtape with Muse but still.

 

Anyways.

You should sign up anyway Christina, you'll have fun and it's perfectly okay if your mixtape receiver is familiar with some songs.

Count me in as always.

meow

:wink:

That's true. :thinking:

Just a few questions about uploading the songs. Are the programs like Winzip easy to use? I've never actually used them. :| also, how difficult is it to upload them on megaupload, for instance?

 

Edit: and I'm going to be away on a band trip the week mixtapes are due. How early will you be accepting them?

I'm in

Sign me up, Kelsie! :D

meow

:wink:

 

I'll assume you're wanting me to add your name too :P

 

That's true. :thinking:

Yeah, winzip is pretty easy to use. You'll have to open a folder on your desktop, drag the songs you want from your itunes into the folder, then highlight and right click, click on "add to archive" and all the songs will be zipped into one rar file.

 

Uploading to megaupload is simple, you don't even have to create an account. Just go to the website, click "browse" and find your rar file. It does typically take a long time for the file to upload though (up to an hour for me).

hmm....

Sign me up! Looking forward to this one.

I'm in as usual :)

Yes Please! :D

Yes! Sign me up!

Sign me up, please :)

Sign me up too please

Count me in :)

I just have to wait for my mother to say whether or not I can and if so I'm in.

 

:wreck:

HEY EVIL CAT, COUNT ME IN :mean:

 

And please please assign my mixtape to a... more responsible person? :shifty: :tongue:

 

So are we still using that minimum post basis of participation? And are all those previous participants who failed to write their reviews/upload their mixes blacklisted?

Thanks for that info, Kelsie. Count me in. :awesome:

 

I hope I'm Crests' partner because she's a noob to this too. :wacky:

I'm not choosing who everyone's mixtape will be going to, it's going to be randomized. So if you get some noob, don't blame me :botoxlips:

 

No and no.
