Custom Wiki MDs
Story Time (Part 1)
Over on the MiniDiscord we started talking about labeling (as you do), and I showed off my label maker; a Scotch EA-350 from the electronic Bay. I picked a random username in the group (@shortstuf888), made a label, and took a picture:
I then PM/DM'd shortstuf, and asked if she wanted the label. And then I had the idea to actually use the label on a custom MD.
We got talking about the type of music, and the type of disc she'd like. Enough that this happened:
She chose a TDK MD-RXG 80.
So, after all that was said and done, I began looking for musics to stick on there. The process took about a week and half, selecting, re-arranging, and even ripping in a few cases from CD (to FLAC, obviously).
Then, it was burned to MD (via PlatinumMD and an N920) and sent. Here is that tracklist:
And as it arrived in her hands, posted in the Discord:
There was much rejoicing and talking about the tracklist. Which would not be released to the group until shortstuf had listened to it in full, at least once. Didn't want to ruin the surprises in store
