Welcome to this aural experiment. You've been selected to take part in online effort to share music with friends new and old. Wouldn't it be nice to receive a finely-crafted selection of songs from someone else with good, or at least different, tastes in music? But let's face it, we've all grown up and dont have the time to make and send out a dozen or two CDs all across the world.

As part of the Music Collective, you will have access to a new compilation at least every month. Simply log on to this page, download the file, and then burn it to a CD or listen at your computer.

The only thing that will be asked of you is that you also create at least one CD a year for your fellow Collective members. After you create your CD, you will send it and a tracklisting to our, um, corporate headquarters, and we will upload the CD as a file for your fellow members to enjoy.

You do not have to create your own CDs to be a member; you can simply join and enjoy the music created by your fellow members. You don't have to download every collection of music that will be offered. Archives of past collections will be available as bandwith warrens. You're welcome to create your own CD covers for your collection that listeners can download with their CD.
