Don't ask me why it is not turned on automatically as I am just the messenger. :-) We are looking to have this turned back on to the public in the future along with some other pretty interesting stuff. Stay tuned as they say and happy trading. :-) I forgot to mention that in order for trading to be turned on you will need to have your shipping information filled in the account settings section and a credit card in order to receive CDs. You can blurb KevinsWorld on the site if you have any questions. Definitely you can request to have the trading feature turned on.

They allow for printing USPS shipping labels right from their site! I never have time to go to the post office either which is why i decided to use swaptree!

I'd still dread having to deal with the post office. Hence my love of the prepaid envelopes from Lala. I’m sure I’d use Swaptree if I had other forms of media to trade.

In my opinion, Swaptree is the better solution (and is free to use). I do agree that trading media is a brilliant idea. I never buy CDs or DVDs anymore (books I still buy some, but the one's I don't want to keep I trade on Swaptree), I just keep trading them out. It's a lot like Netflix but free, and I can usually get what I want on Swaptree, as the site seems to be growing really quickly (for instance, I can pick from 10,000 items right now). I am a big music fan, so it's nice that I can add to my collection as much as I want, all for free. Time for a media server.... :-) I’ve also been using Swaptree, and tried LaLa in the past.

I was also considering LaLa at some point, but I decided not to use it for some reason (not sure why).

Point taken though. I'm definitely not an expert on death metal but I know I wanted to get rid of the stuff I had. =) What I should have said is Scandinavian death metal. Point taken though.

That is so very lame. When they respond to my email I'll confirm this and express my discontent. For now, my advice would be to email them and tell them you want to trade.

I found it strange you couldn't find anything so I signed for a new account. I too had no trading links. That TOTALLY sucks. I have emailed them for some answers. I'll also consult the forums (also not available on my new acct, wtf?). I'm sorry about this. I'll keep you and other readers posted.

The service is "US Only", but the name LALA.com has some connections with the language Malayalam, spoken in Kerala, India. In kerala, "LALA" is cinsidered as a humming tune, i.e. singing, "LALA LA LA" is considered as singing a song. The creator might have some Keralite friends or else he would have visited Kerala.. :D :D This sounds interesting.
