Trade in Your CD’s for an iPod
Millenium Music is offering up free iPods if you’ll ship them all of those CD’s you collected back in the 90’s. Remeber that? How silly was that? Here’s the nitty gritty:
| Send | You Get |
|---|---|
| 45 CD’s | 512MB Shuffle |
| 65 CD’s | 1GB Shuffle |
| 85 CD’s | 2GB Nano |
| 110 CD’s | 4GB Nano |
| 130 CD’s | 30GB iPod |
| 175 CD’s | 60GB iPod |
Now when you add it all up, you’re really only getting about $2 per CD, but do you really need them anymore?

Wow..this is amazing news…I have already started doing my plans on the review search engine iNods.com and I will just need to bring out all those old stacks. This really is exciting.

Yeah, don’t get too excited about this. I sent them 180 CDs and they accepted less then half of them. They cross reference each CD with their sales record and if the CD is not a hot seller they reject it. Which of course insures that they will continue to not have sales of that CD, you can’t sell what you don’t stock. It pretty much comes down to this: if the CD is more than five years old and/or isn’t on the Billboard top 100 selling CDs, they don’t want it. They don’t accept soundtracks at all (unless it is one of the top ten all time selling soundtracks, then they might take it.)
Example: they rejected Lisa Loeb’s “Tails” CD. Now, this is not the hottest selling CD on the market, I grant you that. But it’s not like it is an obscure CD by some one hit wonder. You can get it on Amazon and I’ll bet you can find at almost any Virgin record store. (It’s the one with “Stay” on it after all.)
My suggestion: either send them more then twice the CD’s required for the iPod you are shooting for or don’t bother at all because you will only be disappointed.
I should have known better
