Metachat Mixup Returns! We'll be having another online mix swap session so get your mixes ready. The deadline is 7pm UTC on Friday 12th July. Please indicate in this thread if you intend to take part.
[More:]
To submit a mix
Get together your selection of tracks as MP3s only please. Your selection should have a playing time no longer than 74 minutes. If you wish to include other files such as a CD cover or notes then please do so in a file format that can be easily used on different systems (JPG, PDF, TXT). Zip them up in a file named username.zip. Go to this URL: http://www.streamload.com/Roots/Upload.asp Enter the name metachat and then upload your file from there. Upload as early as you can to avoid disappointment.

To get the other mixes
You will be sent an e-mail on the deadline which will tell you where you can get the mixes from. You should ensure that the address in your profile is correct.

To send money for hosting
The good news is that Metachat users are a generous bunch and if the number of swappers remains the same then we already have enough money to cover this session (and the next one too!). If you'd still like to contribute then read on...

It costs approximately two dollars per user to run the swap - you can read more about that here. If you'd like to send money then Paypal is the only method available at the moment. If you don't use Paypal then please find someone who does and send it via them. Login to Paypal and send the money to the e-mail address in my profile. Thanks.

The next swap session
The next session will be about six weeks from now. I'd like to give people a bit more time between sessions and I'd also like to avoid mix sessions clashing with emcee.
But...today's August 5th!

klangklangston-I use ZipIt on the Mac for os 10.2.8. Works great. For later versions of the OS, you can Zip from the file menu in the Finder.

I have a modest proposal. Would someone with some weeb space, time and skills like to set up a quick and easy forum? Such that we could have a section for each MeCha Mix session, then a thread for each person's mix?

Would that be a good idear?
posted by Capn 05 August | 12:03
How about setting it up on blogspot? I do think that's a good idear.
posted by iconomy 05 August | 12:24
I'm in. Prepare for brainsex and earfucking.
posted by loquacious 05 August | 12:34
Ah... yes, yes... indeed. Count me in!

Do I recall a total file size limit?
posted by mmahaffie 05 August | 12:40
Oops. There are the details right up top there. I clicked on "Comments" rather than "more" and so skipped right past the details!

I'm in, and I'm off tomorrow afternoon on vacation, so will miss all the lovely back and forth that is sure to occur in the next week or so about this...so, I'm uploading today, and I'm posting my playlist here now. Also, I made some covers and I think they are nice and they come from some wacky Japanese art (which just fucking sends me) that was posted to MeFi the other day, and I just encourage everyone, and I mean this from the bottom of my heart and I hope you know that I love you all, and so I just encourage everyone to make some covers because I really like to look at them and I've been pretty impressed by what people do when they put their minds to it to do something. That is all.
