Music Exchange 2.1: Voodoo

[Dangerbird]

Music Exchange = a monthly round of music sharing based on a particular theme chosen by a nominated participant.

All n' sundry are invited to submit a tune based on said theme, which will then be compiled into a downloadable format for y'all listening enjoyment.

This month's theme, as chosen by Alicat is 'Voodoo'.

General rules:
1. No genre restrictions.
2. Only 1 tune per participant (bonus tracks will be ignored)
3. All files to be in mp3 format (128kbps or above)
4. All files to be titled as: 'Artist - Song Title'

Once you've made your selection, zip the tune up (using Winzip or some such) and email it to me at 'mex[a]ihug.com.au'. Deadline is June 21.

I will then and upload the finished compilation to YouSendIt (YSI) (http://www.yousendit.com).

For the uninitiated, you'll need to register at YSI, but don't fret, it's painless & free. When the compilation is ready you'll receive an email with a link to download it in a zip format.

Any questions, email me at the above address, or send me a PM.

Lookin' fwd to all y'all subs.

If we're only sending one file, surely there's no need to zip it, is there?

not really, no... unless you're submitting one of those 20+-min prog tunes...

do we have to give you a bit of info in the email, or just give it in this thread?

[noteethleroy]

if you want to put something in Notepad (or some such) that's fine. i'll include it in the final zip version. alternatively, just wag your tongues on here.

[Alicat]

Ok, sent mine!

I've narrowed mine down to three choices but cannot make my mind up ,trying to avoid the obvious but keep true to the subject will get my arse in gear and submit before the end of the week.

The only thing holding me back is working out how to convert my files from m4a to mp3.

There are a few shareware / freeware programs for pc when you google, are you using a Mac Dan? Can't ITunes do this? I think Media Monkey can, but unable to check at the moment.

On a Mac ITunes can do it easily.
PM me for instructions if you like

Yeah I'm on a Mac... I'm sure I've done it iTunes before... but when I just tried it didn't work.

I'll work it out.

I think I sent it, but would be grateful for confirmation that I've not ballsed it up

i got it fiona, but it's in wma format, which might cause problems for these mac users

i've sent you an email with instructions to rip to mp3 - assuming you're using WMP.

If you stopped using a Mac all your troubles would disappear

I found out it's really easy to convert to mp3. Just the click of a button.
