MixCD

I have volunteered to be part of Andy's MixCD project. This seems like an easy enough proje with an interesting goal.

The idea behind the project is to make a website that people use to track Mix CD's they've left lying around for other people to discover. When someone finds the CD they can go to the address trackthismix.com on the CD and see what mix is on there. The person who left the CD can then be notified that their CD had been found. We feel this is an interesting if not entertaining way of sharing music. Not only do we get to see who and where the CD was left, but track it's progress. This is very similar to the Where's George website. There are some complications to it; will people actually burn CD's and be willing to leave them? Will the RIAA decide to sue us?

This project seems fun, but most importantly, easy to do. I'm one for challenges, but when you're in your Senior year in college, easy projects are very tempting. :D

On a side note, I would love to see this project done on Facebook. The reason being, it already has a set userbase and would be easier to spread the word through the website. But right now, we already have our website and we'll be given some freedom with our project.

We'll see where we go from here!
