Howdy, Grodsters. I’ve been quite busy and distracted this last week (as evidenced by my complete lack of posts) but I’ve been formulating a totally awesome plan for us all to get to know each other better. When you arrive, ladies can get changed in the bedroom, gentlemen need to put their keys in this bowl…
Just kidding. It’s the GrodsCorp Muxtape Challenge!!1!
What’s a Muxtape? It’s an online version of the cassette mix tapes that we all used to make in the 80s and 90s and share around with our friends. Remember how you used to spend ages agonising over song choice, sequence and duration restrictions, and then spend even longer fiddling with a dual deck cassette player’s pause and record buttons? Well Muxtape is much easier to use — you just upload 12 mp3 songs that are smaller than 24MB each and organise them into your desired sequence. Simple.
So the GrodsCorp Muxtape Challenge is to create a mix tape that best showcases you and your musical tastes. Either dip into your old favourites, upload new stuff that you’re into, or mix it up a bit. Just make sure the finished product represents you. Then email the URL of your Muxtape to grodscorp [at] grods [dot] com by next Monday (21 July) so I can reveal all GrodsReaders’ Muxtapes in the one post.
Garn then. Have at it.

Oh…. My Broadband is getting hooked up on Monday…
I can’t upload MP3s with my archaic dial up…
This is all a big conspiracy to stop me sharing my music tastes with Grods, and by extension, the world.

Two day extension, Spock. Don’t let it happen again.

Oh dear. This is very very dangerous ground.
Only 12 songs though???? Gah!

And the fuckers don’t allow iTunes. Siiiigh.
Don’t worry, Mr The, I’ll figure something out.

Giving me an extension is a slippery slope Ed…

And the fuckers don’t allow iTunes.
Burn a CD then rip it back to Mp3 via Windows. That’s what I’m planning on doing.
OR
Look for a free conversion program. If I find one, I’ll email you.

Ah okay. I was wondering about the iTunes thing.

Thanks MB! Good tips too. (I won’t call you nerd anymore, how about that?)

Awww - but it was so endearing!
OK, found this:

Don’t know if it works, don’t know if it is spyware free etc etc, but it is an allegedly free download.

When I get the net back at home I’ll get to work.
I’ll give you a hint - track one, you guessed it, Stutter Rap.

Fucking itunes. So you have to convert the tracks you paid for to CD and back to mp3, losing quality on the way - which you wouldn’t have to do if you’d just pirated the song.
Way to punish people trying to do the right thing. Fucking retards.

How long before the righties start writing down who uploaded what and reporting people?
