SWAPA Digital Music Exchange

From SWILwiki

The SWAPA Digital Music Exchange, or SDME, was created by David Van Stone '88 in 2003. It was designed to be a modern, digital replacement for the fourteen-year-old music exchange of the SWAPA Rotating Tapes. When the SRT went out of circulation, SDME took over completely.

Issues of SDME come out every two months. Members submit a 15-minute set of songs and a description. DVS, as OE, combines the sets into 2 or 3 CDs and mails them out to each member. Members can also email in comments on each other's sets, which are put up on the web, and discussed on the SDME mailing list.

There is a small annual fee to participate in SDME. Membership is limited (so prospective new members may be placed on a waiting list temporarily), and members are required to satisfy a minac (MINimum ACtivity) requirement (once every three issues) and a maxac (MAXimum ACtivity) requirement of two issues in a row.

More information is available at www.keyfitz.org/sdme.
