phern47 Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 I play in a blues band and we just recorded 4 songs to make a demo CD. Would this be a nice item to leave? I could make it a "Travel Bug". All the person has to do is download the songs to his computer if he wants them and put my CD into another cache. What do you think about this. Would it make a nice signature item and "Travel Bug". I am new to geo-caching so maybe CD are not recommended as a cache item. Quote Link to comment

+Team Flashncache Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 I can't think of any reason that a CD wouldn't be a welcome trade item in a cache. Personally, I'd love to hear your tunes! The wife and I blues fans. Of course, you'd have to be kind of selective about your choice of containers. (i.e. would it fit?) Ammo boxes and large tupper-type containers would be your best bet. Welcome to the addiction! Quote Link to comment
+The Weasel Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 The only thing you have to think about is how many people will put a CD that they find into the woods into their PC. I guess I'm just a worry wart about getting dirt/viruses on my PC. Quote Link to comment

I guess I'm just a worry wart about getting dirt/viruses on my PC. I'd have no problem putting this into my PC. A simple wipe down with some glass cleaner, and I'll let my virus scan insure there are no problems. You could easily burn multiple copies of the CD yourself. CD media is very cheap and it would make an great signature item. Go for it! Quote Link to comment
+Halden Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 Criminal is a man of few words today. Sounds like a great idea. I have left CDs in caches and them seem to survive alright. Quote Link to comment
+JMBella Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 Thas an awsome trade item. Quote Link to comment
+Peztone Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 I have 4 CD's of music by me in a cache I placed 2 weeks ago.. has anyone found it yet? noooo.. who knew my music stunk that bad. -S. Quote Link to comment
+JMBella Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 I'm at your site listening to your jams right now. Very cool. Wow! Thats the best version of Mary had a little lamb I've ever heard. You guys are good. Heck send me some copies and I'll put them in caches. Quote Link to comment
+Mastifflover Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 Listening to your tunes right now. Sounds great!! Quote Link to comment
+bigredmed Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 I have actually found 4 CD's. 1 blank (not good) and 2 were bands that were not very good, thus the CD's tended to stay with the McToy fraction of the cache contents. The 4th CD was digital recording of the Mercury Theatre's War of the Worlds broadcast. WAY COOL! Still have that in my collection. May copy it so I can use this as a trade item, but will probably just listen. I would get into a Blues CD. Send some to caches out my way! Quote Link to comment
+mcdefjef Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 This reminds me that I need to check on my "experiment." I leave concerts of trade-friendly bands on CD (100% legal, see www.etree.org) in caches. Last year I placed a couple of these outside on my property with varying degrees of protection from the elements - from ziplocs inside gladware to just a paper sleeve on the ground. They've seen 2 ft of snow, hurricane Isabel and summer heat. Its been 11 months, so I need to check on their condition(s) and see if they play. Quote Link to comment
+Team GPSaxophone Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 Since CD's don't fit in all containers, you might want to use 3" CD's for trade items. You can still fit several minutes of music on one and they work in almost all CD players. Quote Link to comment
+Halden Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 Yeah free Phish concerts. Quote Link to comment

Now if only the rest of the people in the office wouldn't stare at me doing the air guitar, I would be set!! Quote Link to comment

I guess I'm just a worry wart about getting dirt/viruses on my PC. You should mark it as an audio CD. That way, no one would be afraid to put it into their cd player, whereas they might be afraid to put it into their computer. Quote Link to comment
Poppa Duck Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 CD's definately work. I've picked up a few from local folks that were left in caches. One even had original artwork on the disc. So go ahead and leave 'em. If I come across one I'd definately give it a listen. -PD Quote Link to comment
+Team Flashncache Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 (edited) Wow! Just had the opportunity to listen to the tunes. (My employer has Websense on the computers at work; no fun stuff...) You guys sound great! If you do use your "CD-as-a-travelbug" idea, make sure you have one make it's way down to Terre Haute, Indiana. My wife and I would like to hear all of it! Best wishes!

+wildearth2001 Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 (edited) Just so long as the cache is not made from microwave ovens that still function or the cache is hidden on top of a microwave tower I see no problem with it. But if arcs flying everywere is your thing.... Edited January 21, 2004 by wildearth2001 Quote Link to comment
+Pobre Rico Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 Yeah free Phish concerts. "free Phish"? Is that the same as "catch-and-release"? Quote Link to comment
+Halden Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 Nice tracks. You guys ever play Ottawa? If you do the Travel Bug CD I hope it makes its way here. Quote Link to comment

Hey....what better way to get known. You never know....maybe some rich Arab oil magnat will want to hire us for a gig. The CD has 4 complete songs on it. A total of 16 minutes 45 seconds. 1 tune is in French. It's a blues/rock protest song. Quote Link to comment
