I'll usually B+P a show for you newbies, maybe two, if you ask nicely. I'm always up for helping out and spreading the music.
Buy the appropriate number of blank discs for the show(s) you want. Brand name discs work best. (Verbatim, Sony, TDK, Imation, Fuji are my suggestions) But, it's up to you, I'll burn on whatever kind of disc you send me.
Take those blanks out of their cases and place them in CD SLEEVES. (It's cheaper that way.) But, if you don't have any, feel free to leave them in the cases. Place the discs in a padded envelope -- not fiber padded, make sure it's bubble padded. (6" X 9" is a good size) DO NOT SEAL THIS ENVELOPE! Please, make sure you include a note with what show(s) you wanted and your email addy where you can be contacted. I get tons of packages, so I need the proper info.
Address this padded envelope to yourself. Then, place the proper amount of stamps on the envelope. Please, NO METERED POSTAGE!!! Use STAMPS only. I'm tired of paying postage for people who simply do not understand...
For correct postage rates and how many stamps you need to use, check out this nifty webpage...
Put that envelope into a larger one. 8.5" X 11" is a good size for the larger envelope. There's no need to use a bubble padded envelope for the larger one, you can use a standard style if you'd like.
Mail everything out to me.
When I get your package, I'll burn the show(s) that you wanted and mail it back with the envelope and postage you have already provided. Now, wasn't that easy?
Remember, I'm doing YOU a favor. I will almost always spin your shows within a day or two after I get your blanks, but I can't guarantee how long it will take sometimes... So, please don't hound me with emails! I don't ask for anything in return, except that you pass the music on just as I have. Support other newbies...
If you're still having trouble understanding the standard b+p rules, or need a detailed explanation, check out etree.org's page on B+P Instructions. Very detailed, and with illustrations too.
