SWAP CD'S

CD Selling


This is an interesting because I don’t know how good of an idea it is. With people having the ability to burn CD’s and now even download them on an ipod or send through the internet, I don’t see the market advantage to trading. It is possible that people enjoy obtaining the actual CD, but when trading, it does not mention if these are burnt copies or not. It is also in my opinion that Americans hate mailing and packaging things more than anything else. This has a lot to do with the fact that we are lazy but it seems that it mailing just isn’t a reliable and common source. While we enjoy receiving mail, we rarely like to send it to anyone. Also the legal ramifications for the trading of CD’s don’t seem that they will be easy to obtain. People tend to have friends with similar tastes in music, so the best thing to do is to have certain people buy certain albums and then rip their music for your own liking; this is a much more suitable way then trading albums over mail. If there were any advantages to this it would be that you could find someone with a large library of music and trade with them, but you then run the risk of not only having the CD’s not work but that you do not have good enough CD’s to trade with the person. How do you place value on certain CD’s because some come in sets of two and some are in box sets and some are longer and shorter than others. Getting the rights of major labels such as Sony and Capitol are not goign to be easy.
