New York Times

 

Clean Your Closet for a Free iPad

By: Eric A. Taub

 

In the 1960s, my uncle made a good living buying up slightly imperfect Levis and reselling them at a steep discount in poor countries.

 

That business model is being followed today by iPodMeister. The company, based in New York, takes your used CDs and DVDs, sends them off to poorer countries where people can’t afford MP3 players, and gives you a new iPod, iPhone and now iPad in return.

 

All genres of discs are accepted, with certain limitations. No porn, no scratched discs, no promotional discs, and 20 copies of your garage band’s CD are verboten.

 

The album cover art plus the CD folder must be intact and in good shape. Promotional compilation discs, such as “Macy’s Favorite Christmas Songs” are not taken. Blu-ray discs get you double credit, and each disc of a multi-disc collection are counted. Shipping of the discs to iPodMeister is free.

* Exchange rates are as of June 9th, 2010. Exchange rates change periodically -on average four times a year and usually immediately after new Apple product announcements- without advance notice. Customers do not have to be afraid that we change the exchange rates after their CDs have been mailed. The effective exchange rates for each transaction are the exchange rates on the day FedEx receives the packages (which is not necessarily the day when the customer receives the FedEx labels from iPodMeister). Press clippings and websites other than iPodMeister might contain outdated exchange rates.

 

** Digitizing –sometimes also referred to as “ripping”- is the conversion of the tracks on a music CD to mp3 files. We will provide these mp3 files on DVDs. We won’t load any music onto the iPod.

 

*** Because the iPhones require activation and registration at the time of purchase we will send you a check for the price of the iPhone for new subscribers as stated on the Apple website.

  • 8GB iPhone 3G S = $99
  • 16 GB iPhone 4 = $199
  • 32 GB iPhone 4 = $299

The checks are regular corporate checks made out to the customer that should be cashed by depositing them into an U.S. bank account. The checks are not vouchers for the purchase of an iPhone only or Apple gift cards. Non-US customers in Canada, the U.K. and continental Europe can request an international postal money order. We do not offer unlocked iPhones.

 

 

What kind of CDs

do we accept?

Answer the following three questions to see whether your CD’s are eligible:

 

a) Did you buy your CDs/DVDs individually one-by-one in a record- or video store or online?

b) Are the CDs in their original cases with complete front and back cover art (dusty or broken cases are okay)

c) Are the CDs/DVDs without visible scratches if you hold them approximately twelve inches from your face?

 

If you answered “yes” to all these questions we will most likely accept your CDs.

 

 

Your CDs and DVDs need to meet the following criteria:

 

·         The CD was bought in a regular retail store.

·         Original jewel case (dusty and scratched jewel cases are okay).

·         Complete cover art, i.e. the booklet in front of the jewel case and the play list in the back of the jewel case have to be in mint condition.

·         No visible scratches or marks on the actual CD.

·         We do NOT need a list with titles.

 

We do not accept bootlegs, bulk lots, liquidation ware, or CDs in case logic binders.

Optional Digitizing

 

Digitizing is the conversion of a music CD into a file format that can be played by the iPod, including artist name, album title, track info, etc. .
