B3ta Randomburn 2008.

Show off your übercool collection. Discover new musical delights. Pour scorn on other people's taste.

That's right, it's Randomburn time again. back and slightly worse than before, as I'm doing it this year seeing as Claire has buggered off somewhere or other.

You all know the rules by now. If not, listen up...

18 tracks randomly selected by your chosen music player put down on a CD. You can have 3 complete substitutions (anything you want to showcase) and 2 same artist but different song substitutions.

You don't have to substitute any if you don't want to and you can change the running order of the CD as you see fit. The only real stipulation is that the initial track listing MUST have originally been selected with your player on shuffle / random.

"OMG that sounds cocking awesome, what do I do now?"

All participants should sign up to this event and GAZ me their e-mail address so i can randomly find the lucky recipients of your amazing CD. In the meantime, sort out your CD's ready to post.

I will then email you the FIVE recipients of your CD, who you can contact to arrange postal delivery with them. These people are not the same five who will be sending you a CD. If that was too much for your brain to handle, here's a simple explanation...

www.b3ta.com/talk/4600052

If you're still struggling with the concept, quite frankly you're a simpleton, but GAZ me anyway and I'll talk you through it or answer any questions.

Don't be a twat and receive 5 CD's and not send any out. There will be terrible consequences for anyone doing this (I'll have a bit of a moan and call you names).

This has been a great event in the past and it's very interesting to see what's lurking in the depths of other people's iTunes.

EDIT: I am a very trustworthy chap and will not spam, stalk, or do anything untoward with you email address. Ask anyone.

(I helped save b3ta! sleepybinky, Fri 14 Mar 2008, 12:14, Reply)
hurrah!

I did this last year and got some great stuff off a particular Bedfordshire based DJ amongst others.

It has also reminded me that I need to finish doing a compilation CD for a good friend which I haven't finished yet!!

i hope you do a better job than that hideous witch clairebear.

this year i will be expecting 5 CDs in return, and i expect painful gonad crushing/womb punching for people who don't do their bit.

I think there should be a severe naming and shaming campaign for all non-senders.

if i get you you'll have a proper crap cd.

i promise


(I helped save b3ta! sleepybinky, Thu 20 Mar 2008, 17:53, Reply)
I'll have a go

My laptop seems to have lost its own driver for the DVD burner but I think itunes can do it anyway. I'll have a practice go in advance, otherwise I can get someone in the studio to do it as I'm sure there's enough kit in there.


(I helped save b3ta! The Cat's Mother Not a People Person., Mon 17 Mar 2008, 12:32, Reply)
By the way, I hope you all read the small print...

...that says that you all have to send me a CD for being ace.

Good, just checking.


(I helped save b3ta! RR I love you ... in a way, Tue 18 Mar 2008, 11:43, Reply)
Plus, why not get creative and make a 'distinctive' CD cover for your lucky lucky recipients?

I got some quality ones last year.

Is there a limit to the number of times you can randomise?

I have a lot of shit in iTunes

Also: Can't GAZ in work, i'll do it later when i gets home


(Nuclear Ninja like a radioactive Chuck Norris..., Tue 18 Mar 2008, 14:47, Reply)
Make a list of what gets spat out.

Discarding the really shit, leaving the merely poor.


(I helped save b3ta! Wildheart Baby. Drunken Mess In A Good Way, Wed 26 Mar 2008, 21:17, Reply)
This sounds a fantastic idea

however, I may have to shuffle several times to get anything that you crazy kids class as 'decent'.


(I helped save b3ta! The Great Architect is still waiting for his account to be deleted on, Wed 19 Mar 2008, 9:00, Reply)
No, no don't.

Embrace the 'distinctiveness' of your random selection.

And as the rules state, you can make a couple of substitutions that more reflect your true tastes if the random selection doesn't do so.


(I helped save b3ta! RR I love you ... in a way, Wed 19 Mar 2008, 13:07, Reply)
hmmmmm, sounds tempting

bear in mind I DO have unbelieveable amounts of sh*te music on this computer

In the past I have DJ'd weddings (gawd help me)

I doubt that anyone can top some of the utter bilge I have in my folder.

There is no way I could put some of it onto a CD. I would be lynched.


(I helped save b3ta! Flowerpot No longer has the vapours thanks to DTH, Mon 24 Mar 2008, 12:28, Reply)
Or if your initial selection runs to over 80 minutes.

(I helped save b3ta! The Mock TurtIe ™ --- Thinks you are a cunt, on, Sun 23 Mar 2008, 17:23, Reply)
I don'y use an

ipod player thingy. I have a few albums on my XDA but not enough for a random CD. I have a few thousand tracks on the PC. How would one go about choosing 18 random songs from that lot?


(I helped save b3ta! Pasanonic 's been known to cause insanity in laboratory mice, Wed 19 Mar 2008, 18:42, Reply)
Queue them all up in your favourite music-player software

then turn on the shuffle option and see what comes up.


(I helped save b3ta! The Mock TurtIe ™ --- Thinks you are a cunt, on, Sun 23 Mar 2008, 17:24, Reply)
You could just download iTunes or MediaMonkey

or even just open up Windows Media Player, add your music to it, and select shuffle, noting the first 18 tracks that come up :)


(I helped save b3ta! Redsushi! Whoop! Whoop! Yes, that one!, Mon 24 Mar 2008, 10:47, Reply)
Apparently

I've got around 143.2 days of music available (according to iTunes). Expect randomness if you get a CD from me.


(I helped save b3ta! shadyron, Mon 24 Mar 2008, 11:04, Reply)
This sounds terrific!

Count me in!

*fears receiving 5 cd's of Death Metal*

Edit: Day before my birthday too! So Ill get 5 CD's of new music for it :) Yays!

Hahaha

That is my fear too!

might have to be a two cd package if a stanford energy lecture sneaks on...

So,

Spice Girls mixtape, yeah?


(I helped save b3ta! shadyron, Mon 24 Mar 2008, 11:02, Reply)
Yays!

I warn you, though - I have some seriously dubious music on my MP3 player. Eclectic doesn't even begin to describe it.


(I helped save b3ta! b3th Not shit. Not mod., Mon 24 Mar 2008, 11:26, Reply)
my itunes has everything ranging from death metal to daphne and celeste, soul to gangsta rap, country and western to bang'in electro

this will be fun =)

I hope I get Lazygamer's choice!

Now listen you 'orrible lot. If anyone dares to put a fecking Shatner abomination onto a compilation and I receive it, you will be for the chop.
Shatner is not funny. It's bindun a squillion times and the novelty has worn off.

By the way, don't fear that you have to send my CDs to South Africa as I bring in container loads of food every 3-4 weeks so my CD can be sent to the shipping company I use in Hull and they will put the CDs into a box of Jaffa Cakes.

Also, I don't own an ipod and being a DJ I have folders full of utter bilge so I will have to cheat a little and put some decent tracks into a playlist and do the winamp shuffle.

I think this is a bloody wonderful idea, by the way.


(I helped save b3ta! Flowerpot No longer has the vapours thanks to DTH, Mon 24 Mar 2008, 12:25, Reply)
Bah!

Id rather send a letter to SA then Hull ;)

Hope whoever gets my CD isn't an indie/rock fan, my music folder is muchly the chilled side of drum'n'bass/breakbeat...

Btw - this may sound like a dumb question, but do you want the cd in mp3 type format or burnt as a "proper" audio cd?

(I helped save b3ta! The Great Architect is still waiting for his account to be deleted on, Mon 24 Mar 2008, 19:01, Reply)
I deduced it was "proper" audio CD

due to the 80MB 18 tracks.


(I helped save b3ta! Flowerpot No longer has the vapours thanks to DTH, Tue 25 Mar 2008, 17:03, Reply)
That's good deducing.

The last time I did one of these I got a pretty good CD, but that time it wasn't a random playlist

Apologies to whoever gets my CD though as the vast majority of music on my laptop is Japanese.
