as does the original poster. he just changes his mind and swaps it for
something different occasionally, instead of sticking with a cd he's not too
fond of.
also trade lists double as mini-used cd shops, only they usually have good
things in them. buying a cd from a person and buying a cd used is
essentially the same thing (only you cut out the over-pricing of the
retailer and ripping-off of the original buyer)
a lot of the music on tradelists and for-sale things are things discussed on
the list. i know that i, for one, often ask to myself "hmm, this is
interesting, i wonder if i could pick one up". obviously any list that
deals with discussion of a rather tangible medium is going to have a
for-sale part of it, and it shows that people are interested in getting new
things.
the only thing i don't really like, that i think brock should've commented
on more-so than what he did, was the plethora of radio set-lists. they're
really just like huge "now playing" lists.
but i'm not complaining =)
