    So you create a cd list of what you own or what you want to get rid of.

    Then you search for what you want...for every CD you trade, you get the CD you want for $1 and .49 cents shipping.

    Other users can search your list, but your not obligated to ship anything.

    Its an interesting concept. Im sure the RIAA has something to say about this. Part of the money made goes back to the artist.

    interesting concept, im gonna try it out. The layout reminds me of Netflix

    [Dave_Atell]Wanna listen to some CDs??? How about a Jolly Rancher????[Dave_Atell]

    If you like anything in Spanish, I got lots. Seeing some of what you like, I think you might like Molotov and El Gran Silencio... Heroes Del Silencio... or maybe Café Tacvba or El Tri?

    First of all, call me old fashioned, but I don't understand what "recs." is. Is that RECORDS? I used to have vinyls back in may-hee-koh. Second, how do I send you a file archive?

    The founders of 'la la', John, Billy, Anselm and I are devout music fans and created the service for the benefit of artists and fellow music fans.

    I'm writing this message to encourage you to do right by the artists you enjoy through our service. Despite what is depicted on MTV's Cribs, a wonderfully entertaining show, most musicians don't live large with a big house and five cars. Rather, the majority of musicians struggle to make a living from their recordings and must depend on other income producing activities such as performing concerts or selling merchandise.

    I'll be the first to advocate that artists should make a lot more from each CD. 'la la' is taking the unprecedented action of giving artists 20% of our revenues from used CDs, no used record store or online site does this today. I'll also promise to work tirelessly (only sleep four hours a night anyway- this is being written at 3:31 a.m. so pardon my punctuation) to reduce overhead in marketing costs across the industry, so artists can make more from selling their music.

    I ask you to do your part by doing the right thing: remove songs from your iPod or PC if you've agreed to send the CD to another member.

    If you want to listen to that CD again, just add it to your Want List and help us support that artist you can't get enough of. You'll have access to plenty of good music to enjoy in the meantime. We'll make sure of that!

    Respect the artists and Karma will be on your side.

    Regards,
    Bill Nguyen

    Ohh, I meant recommendations. You don't have to worry about sending anything. My cousin works for a record store in Michigan and if I tell him the names of those artists he'll get 'em for me somehow.

    BUT if you ever reeally want to send me music I'm open to everything except country. :p My aim screen name is bitingsnow.
