Back home after a long West Coast trip. Stopped in the Cleveland area to say Hi to another RP mixologist. Kurt was deep in the weeds of his upcoming December mix like a mad scientist in his secret lair. I see a few discs came in while I was away and I will peck away at those and get my thoughts out for what they are worth.
Glad you made it home safely. It was good to see you again and meet your lovely wife.
And to be clear, there is very little hair in my lair, just sayin' ...

Ah, ok. I know I can ship a CD without jewel case for roughly $4 to the USA as lettermail, sandwiched between cardboard. I was thinking it would be a fair bit more the other way.
Maybe I'll join the next round. I loved doing this before, but like the History channel, it's all about time for me.
And as Steely_D mentions, there's always WeTransfer.

I'm "old school" like that too. Prior to moving I had loaded up all the RPMCC discs into a 110 disc player I have and just put it on shuffle. Not in the "spirit" of the original mixes but I at least get to hear the stuff. I miss having a CD player in the car/truck. But then again since I retired I normally don't spend much time in a vehicle anyway. I plan on getting that player loaded back up and spinning soon.
I had two of those Sony guys that I could link together and shuffle. I spent SO MUCH time typing in album names. Gave them away when I went hard drive storage, and very much regret it.
Smart money would be to recreate that, using current disc-reading and info storage and LCD screen tech and bluetooth, etc. I bet there are plenty of people that would snap up a multi-disc player that kicked the llama's ass.

Time it is.
But it's worth it to me.
I just hope it's worth it to others.
The hardest for me is the reviewing of others music. I just don't feel as confident in that.
I think maybe others have this issue because they don't seem to do it at all.

USPS tells me that a large envelope, 2 oz or less is $3.65US. A CD with minimalist packaging (without envelope) is ~.9 ozâpricey, but not out of the question. No idea what the reverse trip would be.

Not sure the shipping cost across the border makes it worth it nowadays, unfortunately.
Well, there's always the digital download option.

While looking for a CD (in my many nooks) i came across this stash. Wow. Gonna have to set some time aside to listen to these again. It's always possible i got a few more hiding somewhere.
This was from right around when I joined the club, unfortunately the first few years of mixes fell out of my old truck and I no longer have them.
