Switchdiscs.com is like la la, except it lets you exchange with artwork, and
doesn't charge a fee. You might want to try them. I just signed up myself to
try it out.
For me reading the La la faq set off all my alarms. They use all the classic
marketing tricks, from requiring the invitation (people want what they can't
immediately get), then trying for the guilt trip of supporting the starving
artist bullshit (hey I already bought the CD for $15! From the band directly
or from a little company like Not Lame) and then they expect me to trade the
CD and get a CD without artwork that I can't even trade at the local CD
store, only through their service. Good marketing...
Come to think of it, if anyone is interested, I'll setup a WIKI area where
we can list our want lists and trades. Any interest?
Cheers,
Gary

I signed up early, but the no liner notes killed the deal for me.
I pulled all of my want and have lists.
If the liner notes change goes through, I'll be back in.
