Perfect Pairing- if you like music?

Legal music swapping is here!

I was recently sent a link to check out a new, free music service called Pandora.

Pretty neat- I set out to "teach" it the sorts of music I already like & it set out to search & play other, similar music. It's a very cool way to find new artists/music. I have it playing as I type this.

Ok, now just a couple of days ago, I read about a new CD swapping service called "la-la" (silly name- whatever...).

I put my name in to join & got an "accepted" email yesterday. I went to the site & registered (free).

The deal is this: you list CD's you want & CD's you have to swap. The entire transaction costs you $1 + .49 to ship. The 1st CD you want is free (though you have to wait to see if anyone has it- I listed 6 just so my odds were better). After that, in order to be on the eligible-to-swap list, you must list at least 5 CD's you have to trade. My 1st "want" is on it's way to me now (Zero 7- When It Falls).

I've just gone through my very large CD collection to weed out the "seldom listened to" discs & will add them to la-la after I make sure the hubby concurs.

The neat thing about la-la is that it's legal, it's cheap, & they are giving 20% of the proceeds to the artists whose CD's are traded.

Interesting?
