MASSIVE TAYLOR SWIFT CD SALE! INCLUDES NEW ITEMS
Tumblr media
Hello, and happy holidays! I'm Chloe, a big Swiftie, and even bigger CD collector. I've been collecting for the better part of thirteen (!!) years now, and in that time, have managed to end up with a... few... duplicates in my hoard. It's time that those repeats go to new Swiftie homes, where they will hopefully bring as much joy to you as they once did to me, and what better time than right before the holidays? So before I post everything (which will be under the cut) I just kind of want to give an overview of how this will work. A sort of FAQ, if you will.
1. To claim an item, you will need to message me. And yes, I do mean mean "message," not "ask." This way ensures not only that Tumblr won't eat your request, as it loves to eat inbox mail, but also so that I can then have a conversation with you about where to send the item(s). 2. I will only accept Venmo/PayPal as forms of payment. Venmo is the preferred method, because they don't charge any sort of fees, but I am aware that Venmo is not available internationally, and PayPal is the safest alternative. Shipping for one single item across the US is about $5, so that's all I'll ask for it. 3. I will ship internationally, but you must prepare for delayed delivery. Since it is the holiday season, I cannot guarantee that anything sent overseas will arrive before Christmas. Please keep this in mind before ordering. Furthermore, in this case, I will ask for the cost of postage in a second payment, and then will provide you with a tracking number in return. 4. If you are buying more than one item, I will combine shipping. Because I cannot possibly guess the cost of shipping for multiple items, I will send a second invoice for the cost of shipping, along with a tracking number for your package. 5. No returns/refunds are allowed. All sales are final, as the whole idea behind this is for me to lighten the load. I have multiple pictures of each item (most of which will not be posted here to avoid making this post even longer), and will send them your way upon request.
Items will be marked as SOLD as they are purchased, so make sure you are checking the post on my blog and not just via reblogs before inquiring! All purchases will be mailed out within three business days of receiving payment. I will also message you to let you know exactly when they go out!
Thank you for taking the time to read this; merry Swiftmas!!

ITEMS FOR SALE
Taylor Swift (Promo Version) SOLD
Beautiful Eyes EP (Walmart Exclusive) SOLD
Fearless Platinum Edition (Target Exclusive) - $25 - TWO AVAILABLE This version of the album comes with additional DVD content--specifically, it's two of the songs she performed at Clear Channel Stripped! The case has some minor cracks and the "sticker" is just a reprint for identification purposes, but both discs and all inserts are in really good condition! The second copy is basically identical, but I can send pictures if you're interested in seeing it specifically.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Speak Now (Starbucks Exclusive) - $30 Nothing on the CD is different from other US versions of this album, but this one, sold exclusively at Starbucks back in the day, comes with a fancy "O-ring" slipcover! Not many were made, so it's considered to be on the rarer side.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Speak Now (Walmart Exclusive) - $15 This version was sold exclusively to Walmart and contained a cute little coupon for Covergirl products! Unfortunately, this copy did not come with the insert, which is why I'm selling it off. The only notable differences between it and any other standard copy of Speak Now are the catalogue number and UPC. All the songs are the same.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Red SOLD
Red (Starbucks Exclusive) - $30 This Starbucks exclusive "digipak" version of Red folds in the middle, much like a vinyl record! It does have a small fold in the cover (see the first photo), but the CD and booklet are in perfect condition. This copy was sent to me with the second disc from the Target version of Red, so it will also be included with this purchase. You're basically getting the deluxe version in a cool, rare case haha. :)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Red (Costco Exclusive) - $30 Yes, there are a few minor case cracks on the front side (thanks, kitties), but the album is still sealed and comes with its insert! What sets this rare version aside from its peers is the hype sticker on the front, and the inclusion of a flyer that, while no longer valid, once allowed you to download 3 additional Taylor Swift songs for free!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Red (Deluxe Edition) (Target Exclusive) SOLD folklore: "meet me behind the mall" edition - $15 This version was sold exclusively on Taylor's website! Though it's no different than the one you can get at Target content-wise, it does have a different catalogue number and UPC, so if you're into that sort of thing, this is a steal. Plus, it's brand new!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
folklore: "in the weeds" edition - $20 I'm only charging a little extra for this one for two reasons. One, it is a little more sought-after, so if it doesn't sell here, it's going to eBay. Two, it's the EU version (which means nothing content-wise, just catalogue number and UPC-wise), so it cost a little more to get it to me. This one also was a website exclusive, and it's sealed!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
TTPD: Down Bad (Acoustic Version) - $10 Back in June, this was one of two versions of TTPD posted exclusively to Taylor's website. My post office lost my order, so I ended up contacting the store to get a new one sent out. Months later, the package mysteriously arrives! Here's your chance to own that surprise CD!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
TTPD: Guilty as Sin? (Acoustic Version) - $10 This CD was also part of the lost package! It too likely has mysterious teleportation powers*, and for the fine price of ten bucks, could also magically show up at your house soon! *This statement has not been proven as fact by the author.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
TTPD: The Manuscript (Collector's Edition) - $30 This one was sent to me by mistake when ordering another item from the webstore. They let me keep it, but I don't need it. Again, their loss is your gain! It's also sealed!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
More to come in the following days as I downsize, but this is a good place to start, yeah? Please reblog so this reaches as many genuine Swifties as possible! Thank you in advance!!

Evangeline "got a dad"
Part one
Barbie dolls: Dean Winchester x gn!reader (however in the first part you gave birth so just a fair warning)
Word: 1.7k
Summary: you dean break the new to Evangeline about. Your relationship
Warnings: eating food, acdc, they kiss, Dean curses, you add butter to spaghetti sorry if that's sacrilegious where you come from I'm from the south of the USA so butter is basically a main food group, it's cute really and truly theres not much going on
Itnitally you weren’t entirely positive if Dean would stay true to his promise. You weren’t used to the new Dean you still expected him to act the way he used to. Just after a few times of Dean showing up for Evangeline, though you never asked and he didn’t need to, he warmed up to you again. 
When school rolled back around, Dean showed up on your doorstep, ready to go back to school shopping with Evangeline. Once Evangeline got sick and you had to leave her home with a babysitter. You told Dean about it over your nightly phone call. The next day, there he was on your front doorstep. He was holding a couple of plastic bags of groceries, ready to make chicken soup. When you came home Evangeline was telling you about how amazing your friend was. He made her soup, they played games, and watched Scooby Doo together. After a trip to the zoo, Evangeline lost her favorite giraffee stuffie. She was devastated. You wanted to get her a duplicate but you couldn’t find one. A week later, a package arrived on your doorstep with a handmade giraffe stuffie inside. That was now her favorite stuffed animal out of her entire collection. It even had her initials on the left foot. 
It didn't take much for you and Evangeline to get used to meeting and trusting Dean. You often went out to restaurants together on the weekends. Just the three of you. After a while, you and Dean came to the mature conclusion that you were in fact dating. Evangeline was still under the impression that Dean was your friend who also brought her gifts sometimes so you needed to break the news to her. 
You didn't think she would be upset about it, she loved Dean, but still some part of you worried. After a night or two of planning, you and Dean had decided a dinner with her favorite meal should help the medicine go down easier. So you invited Dean over and he showed up on your doorstep right on time. 
You started setting out everything you two would need to make spaghetti and meatballs as Dean caught up with Evangeline. She showed him all the new library books she got. Dean showed as much enthusiasm as one could about library books, squealing and clapping at each one. 
Eventually, he was in the living room, fiddling about with your stereo. Evangeline was standing next to him, looking through your CD collection. She kept handing him CDs. Dean would look at them for a second before handing them back. You decided to join them, it was obvious they were lost. 
“What are we looking for?” You asked, patting Evangeline on the head. Dean looked up and gave you a small grin. 
“Would you believe we’re looking for ACDC?” Dean asked, already knowing the answer. 
“Oh, Evie. You're looking in the wrong section, my love.” You leaned down and pointed over to the left so she could see the right CD. Evangeline pulled it off the shelf and handed it to Dean. Dean pumped his fist and immediately entered the CD into the stereo. He turned to face Evangeline as the first tune started to play. She squealed and shot up to her feet. Dean pulled her up onto his hip. You walked to the kitchen, with Dean and Evangeline following after you. Dean set Evangeline on the counter, moving to start dinner with you. 
From what you could tell Evangeline liked making dinner with Dean more than you. Sure you sang along to the songs too, but you didn’t pretend the spaghetti box was a guitar. After maybe an hour of you and Dean dancing, literally and figuratively, around the kitchen, dinner was done. You handed Evangeline a stack of plates, silverware, and napkins. 
“Could you go set the table, please?” Evangeline took the plates out of your hands, before slowly shuffling into the dining room.
Once she dropped a plate on the way over to the dining room. It wasn’t a big deal, you had a million plates and only one daughter. You helped her clean it up and now she’s extremely cautious with carrying the plates. You watched her turn the corner out of sight before turning to Dean who was currently buttering the noodles.
You ducked your head over his shoulder, nudging his face up with your nose. You pressed your lips against his, that he was very happy about. He dropped his spoon, turning away from the large bowl of noodles entirely. He pulled you closer by your shirt, chasing after your lips when you started to pull away. You stood far enough away from him that Evangeline could parallel park her plastic grocery cart between you two. Dean leaned over the space, puckering his lips at you. You rolled your eyes and pushed his face away. 
“Pull yourself together. There’s kids here.” You muttered. The corner of his mouth ticked up as he turned back to the noodles. 
“Only one. She can totally see us kissing. She’s a strong girl.” You shook your head. 
“You’re so impatient.” You said, rolling your eyes with a fond smile. You could hear Evangeline’s little foot patters as she ran around the corner, beelining for you. 
“I fixed the table, only me!” She said, pulling on your arm. You smiled down at her, leaning down just a little so you were more on her level. 
“You did?” She nodded, pulling on your hand. You followed her to the dining room. She did in fact set the table all by herself. You gave her all the praise and helped Dean set all the food out. 
Evangeline told you both about her day at school. In her art class, some kid farted next to her and everyone else thought it was funny but she thought it was gross. In her reading class, she read about a bad kitty. And according to her Lions were actually made up by fairy princesses to protect their land. Learn something new every day. You decided it was finally time to just bite the bullet. 
“Evangeline, I have something important I need to tell you.” You said. Evangeline shoved a meatball into her mouth and nodded. Dean’s fork clinked on the glass plate when he set it down. 
“Do you remember how, your friend, Jesus’ parents didn’t live together? They weren’t in love anymore so they moved to separate houses?” Evangeline raised an eyebrow at you. She swallowed her food and squinted at you. 
“Are we getting a different house?” Evangeline asked before digging her hand into her spaghetti and pulling up a handful. You pressed your lips together in a tight smile as she took a bite from her handful. She’s eating it, that's all that matters. 
“No. Then Jesus’ mom got a boyfriend? And he played with Jesus just like his dad did? And he picked Jesus up from school? Do you remember that?” You asked. You saw Dean’s hand shoot out for another slice of garlic bread. Evangeline nodded with her mouth full. 
“Well darling, Dean here-“ You glanced at Dean to see his mouth full of garlic bread. He gave you a grin, his cheeks poking out like chipmunks. You looked over to see Evangeline looking eerily similar. 
“Right. Well, Dean is my boyfriend. So he’ll probably be spending more time with us, is that alright with you?” You asked. Evangeline swallowed her spaghetti. She furrowed her eyebrows and stared at her plate. 
“Will you still play with me if you’re my dad now?” Evangeline asked, staring at Dean. Dean scoffed. 
“Hell yes, I will!” He said, shaking his head at her. She smiled, leaning even closer. 
“Still get hugs? And we’ll play at the park?” 
“Um yes!” Evangeline pulled back, side-eyeing Dean. 
“Jesus’ new dad lives with Jesus. Are you going live with us now?” Evangeline asked, sitting up on her knees in her chair. Dean glanced at you from the corner of his eye. 
“No,” Evangeline shrunk. “But I’m sure we can have sleepovers every now and then,” Dean said, stabbing his fork into his spaghetti again. Evangeline quickly turned to you, blinking her best puppy eyes at you. 
“Can Dean sleep over? I wanna do his nails. Pretty please.” She said in a tiny voice. You pressed your lips into a tight line, glancing over at Dean. You expected to find a similar expression to your own but instead found him with the same pleading eyes. 
“Please? I wanna be all purdy for when I go home. I wanna brag to Sam with my nails.” Dean said, matching Evangeline’s tone. You already knew Evangeline was Dean’s but the more they hung out together you less you worried about anyone thinking otherwise. 
“How about this, how about Dean stay a little longer so you can do his nails but after he has to go home.” You said, giving them both a small smile. They both whined, throwing their heads back and slumping in their seats. You shook your head. 
“Oh, I know. But you, lovely lady, have school tomorrow so you can’t stay up too late. And Dean is probably sick of us.” Evangeline pouted and dug her hand back into her spaghetti. She pulled out a giant handful and stuffed her face into it. She ripped her head back. You hummed at her upset chewing, understanding her frustration. 
“I could never get sick of you two,” Dean said, taking another bite of garlic bread. You gave him a gentle smile and reached over the table to rub the back of his hand. 
Evangeline painted Dean’s nails with her glittery purple polish. She added accents of pink on a couple of his fingers. Dean tried to convince her to paint his middle fingers pink but she shook her finger at him and told him he was naughty.
Later when you picked up Evangeline from school one of the other parents approached you and told you about how Evangeline was telling the class how she ‘got a dad’ over the weekend. You let it slide and told Dean about it over the phone. He laughed and said he ‘got a hot partner’ over the weekend.

Debian 12 xfce ~~~~ let's go~~~~~
I complained about debian not having wifi drivers upon live cd boot, apparently that was by design for the older versions as (i think?) device drivers like that might be proprietary and non-free. and debian ships usually free and open source packages....
so that was by design~~ they changed it I think in debian 12, which I'm late to finding lol.
I missed the transparency thing xfce does sometimes~~~ I like xfce's compositor~~ and for some reason I don't like KDE when I tried it before and hadn't tried it since~~
could've tried it but just jumped on xfce desktop with debian 12, especially cause I've come to like thunar file manager over dolphin (? was that kde's?)
just got it up and running~~ tho I forget (or don't know) how to update the system yet.... mint has an update manager, or it's a cinnamon desktop thing..... idk.... tho I'm guessing "sudo apt-get update"
I like the splash screen and grub menu~~~ and (not that linux mint debian was unstable cause it wasn't~~) I hope debian is really stable~~ ot that's what I read anyway~~
and my function keys still work, lol. unlike upon fresh windows install~~
and I can still access the other hard drive~~ but for some reason upon unmounting it it says that there's still something going on or data is being written to it, but then it seems to unmount fine anyway~~ so I hope nothing is going wrong already~~ lol
continually talking about linux cause I got nowhere else to~~ lol sorry for cluttering up the tags if they aren't correct at all~~
now to install vlc and stuff lol~~ and hopefully find more xfce-4 themes so I can get it looking like windows 95 lol
or what's a better desktop environment than xfce? I tried lxde and it's supposedly not getting updated anymore so better to try lxqt in that case? it's newer.... Cinnamon is nice but got bored of it w mint, kde I didn't like back when I tried it a decade ago and hadn't touched it since.... hadn't messed w GNOME either in a long while either tho, I miss the sidebar and quick access to workspaces but didn't like it for other reasons too... or maybe it wasn't as customizeable..... or I didn't know how.....
currently rocking debian 12 as the title suggests w xfce desktop environment~~~ but could maybe switch to lxqt ~~~ but idk how to wipe all components from xfce and install lxqt...
and I don't like having more than one desktop environment installed cause that leads to duplicate apps
*side glances at how many terminal emulators are here anyway*
which do I choose? there are so many~~~ but lately I like xfce~~~ and might give lxqt a shot~~~ idk.....
there are so many and I already have a hard time choosing anyway lol
also just realized that the installer didn't ask for a root password so i have to "sudo" every single time cause I can't run as root directly.
and for some reason my username didn't capitalize so I tried to log into the system and it said the password was incorrect, I knew the password was correct, I made the first letter of my username small and i was in~~~
wtf~~~ did it lowercase it in the installer and I didn't realize it? is this what happened before when I tried to install debian years ago? I just reinstalled mint like an idiot instead of trying things T_T;;
tho I still consider myself a newbie cause arch, opensuse, slackware and others like that scare me ~~~ but they'd get me to learn~~ I just don't know enough to use them yet.
which begs the question, should I be running debian anyway? or should I just go back to mint?p
second guessing myself after a SUCCESSFUL INSTALL~~~~~ rip. but I like what I got going..... and cinnamon was getting boring lol
tldr: I'm taking tumblr on the linux journey with me~~~ :) hopefully typing about it into the void will help me be less anxious about trying stuff and potentially breaking my system~~ lol cause ya can always install a system that you know works~~ if something breaks.
happy to be running the grandpa of a whole bunch of linux distributions :)
hopefully I'm smarter than I think and this'll be fine~~~ worry I'll break stuff constantly~~~~ and I really don't like not knowing what I'm doing cause I feel stupid but that's how you learn to begin with, isn't it?

Reliable Disc Publishing Systems for Data Management
Tumblr media
Data management is more important than ever. Organizations and individuals alike require secure and efficient ways to store, share, and archive large amounts of data. While cloud storage and other online solutions have become popular, disc publishing systems remain a reliable and cost-effective option for data management.
These systems provide a robust solution for creating, duplicating, and distributing CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray discs, ensuring that data is securely stored and easily accessible when needed. This blog post explores the benefits of disc publishing systems for data management, highlighting their reliability, versatility, and relevance across various industries.
Whether you are managing a small business, an educational institution, or a large enterprise, understanding the value of these systems can help you make informed decisions about your data management strategy.
Understanding Disc Publishing Systems
Disc publishing systems are automated tools designed to create and duplicate discs such as CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray discs. These systems can perform functions such as burning data onto a disc, printing labels directly onto the disc surface, and packaging the finished product.
Generally, these systems consist of one or more disc drives, a robotic arm for moving the discs, and a printer for label printing. The process is fully automated, requiring minimal human intervention, making it a convenient option for businesses and organizations.
Main Components of a Disc Publishing System
1. Disc Drives: These are the main components of any disc publishing system. They are responsible for writing data onto the disc. Depending on the capacity of the system, it may have one or multiple disc drives, allowing for simultaneous disc duplication.
2. Robotic Arm: The robotic arm automates the movement of discs within the system. It picks up blank discs, places them into the disc drive for burning, and moves them to the printer for labelling.
3. Label Printer: After the data is written onto the disc, the label printer prints custom labels directly onto the disc surface. This feature is essential for branding, organizing, and ensuring that discs are easily identifiable.
4. Software Interface: The software interface allows users to control the disc publishing process. It provides tools for selecting the data to be burned, designing disc labels, and managing the overall production process.
Benefits of Disc Publishing Systems for Data Management
Disc publishing systems offer numerous benefits for data management, making them a reliable option for organizations across a variety of sectors. Here are some of the key benefits:
1. Security and Data Integrity
The most important advantage of using disc publishing systems for data management is the level of security they provide. Unlike cloud storage or online data sharing, which can be vulnerable to hacking, data stored on physical discs is secure and less susceptible to cyber threats.
Once data is burned onto a disc, it becomes read-only, meaning it cannot be changed or deleted. This makes discs an ideal medium for storing sensitive information such as financial records, legal documents and medical data.
Optical discs have a long shelf life, with CDs, DVDs and Blu-ray discs lasting anywhere from 25 to 100 years when properly stored. This durability ensures that your data remains intact and accessible for decades, making disc publishing systems a reliable option for long-term data preservation.
2. Cost-effective Solution
For organizations that need to manage large amounts of data, disc publishing systems offer a cost-effective alternative to cloud storage or other digital storage solutions. The initial investment in a disc publishing system can be offset by the low cost of blank discs, which are affordable and readily available.
Additionally, the cost per disc drops significantly when producing large quantities, making it a scalable solution for businesses of all sizes. In addition, there are no recurring costs associated with maintaining data on the disc.
Once the data is burned onto the disc, there are no additional storage fees or subscription costs, unlike cloud storage, which often requires ongoing payments.
3. Versatility Across Industries
Disc publishing systems are versatile and can be used for a variety of applications in different industries. Here are some examples:
- Education: Educational institutions use disc publishing systems to distribute course materials, lectures, and research data. Discs can be easily distributed to students, teachers and researchers, ensuring that everyone has access to the same information.
- Healthcare: In the healthcare sector, disc publishing systems are used to store and distribute medical images, patient records and other sensitive data. Hospitals and clinics can provide patients with copies of their medical data on discs, ensuring that information is easily accessible while maintaining confidentiality.
- Media and Entertainment: The media and entertainment industry relies on disc publishing systems to distribute movies, music and video games. These systems allow for the mass production of discs, ensuring that content reaches a wide audience quickly and efficiently.
- Corporate: Businesses use disc publishing systems to distribute marketing materials, training programs and product catalogues. Discs can be sent to clients, partners and employees, ensuring that important information is shared effectively.
4. Customization and Branding
Another important benefit of disc publishing systems is the ability to customize and brand discs. The built-in label printer allows for the creation of professional-looking discs with custom artwork, logos and text. This feature is especially valuable for businesses and organizations that want to reinforce their brand identity while distributing data.
Whether you are creating promotional materials, educational materials or archival discs, the ability to design and print custom labels adds a professional touch to the final product.
5. Ease of Use and Automation
Disc publishing systems are designed for ease of use, with user-friendly software that simplifies the process of creating and duplicating discs. Once the system is set up, the production process is largely automated.
Users can select the data to be burned, design the disc labels and let the system handle the rest. The robotic arm ensures that the discs are moved efficiently during the process, reducing the need for manual intervention.
The automation feature is especially beneficial for organizations that need to produce large quantities of discs. With minimal supervision, the system can run continuously, producing hundreds or thousands of discs in a short amount of time. This efficiency reduces labour costs and allows employees to focus on other tasks.
6. Environmental Considerations
In an age where environmental sustainability is a priority, it is essential to consider the ecological impact of data management solutions. Disc publishing systems have a relatively small environmental footprint compared to other storage methods. The discs themselves are made from recyclable materials, and the systems are energy-efficient, using only the electricity needed for operation.
By producing only the required number of discs, organizations can avoid the waste associated with overproduction. Disc publishing systems also support the use of environmentally friendly inks and materials for label printing, further reducing their environmental impact.
Applications of Disc Publishing Systems
Disc publishing systems are used in a wide range of applications, from data archiving to content distribution. Here's a closer look at some of the most common uses:
1. Data Archiving
For businesses and organizations that need to archive data for long-term storage, disc publishing systems offer a secure and reliable solution. Optical discs are ideal for storing data that needs to be preserved for years or even decades.
This makes them suitable for storing legal documents, financial records, historical data, and other important information. The longevity of the discs ensures that data remains accessible without any risk of degradation or loss.
2. Content Distribution
Disc publishing systems are widely used to distribute content such as software, educational materials, and media. For example, software companies can use these systems to create installation discs for their products, while educational institutions can distribute course material to students on CDs or DVDs. The ability to create customized discs with branded labels adds value to the content, making it more attractive and professional.
3. Backup and Disaster Recovery
In addition to archiving, discs can be used for backup and disaster recovery purposes. By regularly backing up data on optical discs, organizations can ensure that critical information is protected from data loss due to hardware failure, cyberattacks, or natural disasters. The read-only nature of discs makes them immune to malware and ransomware attacks, providing an additional layer of protection for sensitive data.
4. Marketing and Promotion
Businesses can leverage disc publishing systems for marketing and promotional purposes. Custom discs can be created for product catalogues, company presentations, and promotional materials. These discs can be distributed at trade shows, conferences, and events, providing a tangible and memorable way to share information with potential customers and partners.
Choosing the Right Disc Publishing System
When selecting a disc publishing system, it is essential to consider factors such as capacity, speed, and scalability. Here are some tips to help you choose the right system for your needs:
1. Determine Your Production Volume: Consider how many discs you need to produce regularly. If you need high-volume production, select a system with multiple disc drives and a larger capacity.
2. Consider the Type of Disc: Decide whether you need to produce CDs, DVDs, Blu-ray Discs, or a combination of these formats. Make sure the system you choose supports the types of discs you need.
3. Evaluate Software Features: The software interface is a critical component of any disc publishing system. Look for a system with user-friendly software that offers advanced features such as label design, data encryption, and batch processing.

UPC and ISRC Codes: Best Practices for Independent Artists
Tumblr media
Navigating the music industry as an independent artist can be challenging, but understanding the tools available to you can make a significant difference. Two such tools are UPC (Universal Product Code) and ISRC (International Standard Recording Code) codes, which are essential for the distribution and tracking of your music. This article explores the best practices for independent artists in obtaining and using these codes, helping you to manage your releases more effectively and ensure you receive the royalties you deserve.
1. The Importance of UPC and ISRC Codes for Independent Artists
UPC Codes: These codes are used to identify your music releases (such as albums, singles, and EPs) and are essential for sales tracking in both physical and digital stores. For independent artists, having a UPC code ensures that your music can be scanned and tracked accurately by retailers and digital platforms.
ISRC Codes: ISRC codes uniquely identify individual tracks and music videos, playing a critical role in tracking royalties and managing rights. Each track or recording is assigned a unique ISRC code, which helps in monitoring its use across various platforms.
2. Specific Challenges Faced by Independent Artists
Limited Resources: Independent artists often have limited financial and technical resources compared to major label artists, making it crucial to use efficient and cost-effective methods for managing music distribution.
Visibility: Gaining visibility in a crowded market is a significant challenge, and accurate tracking with UPC and ISRC codes can help independent artists stand out by ensuring their music is properly cataloged and reported.
Royalty Collection: Independent artists need to ensure they receive all possible royalties, and using UPC and ISRC codes correctly can prevent revenue loss from misreported or untracked plays and sales.
3. Best Practices for Obtaining UPC and ISRC Codes
Obtaining UPC Codes:
Choose a Reliable Provider: Use a trusted provider to obtain your UPC codes. While GS1 is the global standard organization, third-party providers and digital distributors (like CD Baby, TuneCore, and DistroKid) often include UPC codes in their packages.
Register Properly: Ensure you are registered with your chosen provider and understand their pricing and renewal policies.
Accurate Assignment: Assign UPC codes accurately to your releases. Each unique release (album, single, EP) should have its own UPC code.
Obtaining ISRC Codes:
National ISRC Agency: Obtain ISRC codes from a national ISRC agency or through your digital distributor. In the U.S., the RIAA is the official source, but many digital distributors provide ISRC codes as part of their services.
Use Consistent Codes: Ensure that each track is assigned a unique ISRC code and that these codes are used consistently across all platforms and releases.
Maintain Records: Keep detailed records of the ISRC codes assigned to each track to avoid duplication and ensure accurate reporting.
4. Using UPC and ISRC Codes Effectively
Integration into Digital Distribution:
Metadata: Embed UPC and ISRC codes into the metadata of your digital audio files before uploading to distribution platforms. This ensures that your music is easily identifiable and trackable.
Digital Distributors: Use digital distributors that support and correctly utilize UPC and ISRC codes, ensuring that your music is properly tracked across all platforms.
Sales and Royalty Tracking:
Monitor Reports: Regularly monitor sales and streaming reports from your distributors to ensure that UPC and ISRC codes are being correctly reported and tracked.
Claim Royalties: Ensure that you are registered with performance rights organizations (PROs) and royalty collection agencies to claim all possible royalties generated from your music.
5. Success Stories of Independent Artists Using UPC and ISRC Codes
Case Study: Bandcamp Success: An independent artist releasing music on Bandcamp used UPC and ISRC codes to ensure their sales were accurately tracked, resulting in precise royalty payments and better inventory management for physical sales.
Case Study: Streaming Services: Another independent artist used ISRC codes to monitor streaming data across platforms like Spotify and Apple Music, allowing them to analyze their audience better and tailor their marketing strategies accordingly.
6. Resources and Tools Available for Independent Artists
Digital Distribution Platforms: Services like CD Baby, TuneCore, and DistroKid provide tools and support for managing UPC and ISRC codes, making it easier for independent artists to distribute their music.
Music Business Software: Tools like Songtrust and SoundExchange offer services to manage royalties and ensure that UPC and ISRC codes are correctly used.
Educational Resources: Websites like ASCAP and BMI offer educational resources on how to use UPC and ISRC codes, as well as information on royalty collection and music business best practices.
For independent artists, using UPC and ISRC codes effectively can significantly impact the success of their music distribution and royalty collection. By following best practices for obtaining and using these codes, independent artists can ensure that their music is properly tracked and monetized, allowing them to focus more on their creative work and less on the administrative aspects of their careers.
We’d love to hear your experiences as an independent artist using UPC and ISRC codes. Have these codes helped you in tracking your music and collecting royalties? What challenges have you faced, and how did you overcome them? Share your thoughts and stories in the comments below!

Tips To Downsize Your Items When Moving
Evaluate Your Belongings and Identify Unwanted Items
Before moving, it's crucial to assess all your possessions. Over the years, you likely accumulated many items that won't fit in a smaller home. Instead of stressing about what to do with these unfit belongings, start by separating the essential items from the unnecessary ones. Now is the perfect time to part with items you haven't used in years. I understand the purpose of downsizing the items will make your life easier, so please focus on taking only the essentials to your new home.
Master the Art of Decluttering
Decluttering is an effective method to eliminate excess items. Instead of indiscriminately discarding everything, take a systematic approach. Inspect each item in your home carefully, deciding which are essential and which are not. Set a timeline for decluttering, as it can't be done in just a few days amid other important tasks. Decide what to keep and what to discard, and consider selling or donating unused items to those in need or giving them to friends or family members.
Inspect Every Room and Eliminate Duplicates
Thoroughly check each room of your house and be as organized as possible. Label items with sticky notes indicating "important to keep," "throw away," or "store." This labeling system will help you identify what to take to your new home. Items you haven't used in years or forgot about should be discarded. In your new, smaller space, avoid bringing unnecessary duplicates. For instance, keep only one of the two sofa sets in your living room. Pay special attention to the kitchen, where duplicates often accumulate. By following these steps, you'll create more space for essential items in your new home.
Decide What to Do with Useless Items
After separating the extra items, plan what to do with them. Here are a few options:
Sell the Items: Arrange a yard sale and promote it with posters. Inform friends and community members. Label items with prices and ensure you have packaging material ready.
Donate to Needy People: Consider donating toys to orphanages or extra furniture to local NGOs.
Give to Loved Ones: If you have sentimental attachments, pass these items to friends or family who will cherish them, maintaining your bond with them.
Maximize Storage Units
Downsizing requires smart use of storage spaces. Here are some tips:
Utilize Corners: Make use of your basement, attic, garage, and storeroom.
Storage Furniture: Take advantage of furniture with built-in storage. Beds, for example, often have storage compartments.
Creative Storage Solutions: Use space under the stairs, store shoes under the closet, and hang coats on door-mounted hangers. Place storage boxes in bathrooms for bathing essentials.
Digital Options: Go digital to reduce paper clutter. Convert paper files to digital formats and save photos and music digitally, eliminating the need for DVDs and CDs. This is a safe and secure way to leverage technology.
Following these steps will help you manage the transition to a smaller home more efficiently and with less stress.

Big Data Analytics of Healthcare that Saves Lives
Big Data
Big data has revolutionized how we manage, analyze, and utilize data in many industries, including healthcare. Healthcare analytics can have a great effect on reducing treatment costs, anticipating epidemics, and averting preventable diseases. Overall increasing the quality of life.  Since human lifespans are growing worldwide, professionals in the medical field must collect vast amounts of data. Find the best strategies to use it. This article will discuss why big data is essential in healthcare and how it helps patients. Lastly, we will give 21 examples of how big data is used to support medical-based institutions. Let’s first review the concept of big data in healthcare.
What Is Big Data In Healthcare?
Big data in healthcare is a term used for large sets of information created by the use of technology that collects patient records. They can be effectively managed and measured.
The application of big data analytics has numerous benefits that can potentially save lives. It refers to vast amounts of information generated by digitization which is then consolidated and analyzed using special technologies. Applied to healthcare, this can help to prevent disease, reduce costs, etc.
Currently, with life expectancy increasing, approaches to treatment have changed and much of this change is driven by data. Doctors want to be able to understand a person as fully and early in life as possible. Early indications of severe illness can be spotted and treated effectively and cheaply. Utilizing healthcare indicators and analytics, prevention is key: it allows insurance companies to tailor packages for individuals. One issue in this area is that a patient’s data can reside in siloes. Stored in different places like hospitals, clinics, and surgeries. Which makes it difficult for professionals to access it.
However, the sources of patient data are on the rise. portals, studies, EHRs, wearables, search engines, standard databases, and government agencies. Also payer records, staffing schedules, and even patient waiting rooms. For years collecting huge amounts of healthcare data was both expensive and time-consuming. Improved technology makes it easier to gather such data while creating comprehensive reports. It can then be transformed into useful insights. This is why we use healthcare analytics. So issues can be identified quickly before it’s too late. Treatments are evaluated more rapidly while keeping better track of inventory.
Now that you’ve grasped the importance of big data in healthcare. Let’s investigate 21 real-world cases that show how a data-driven approach can improve processes, and care for patients. Most importantly, save lives.
1) Patient Forecasting for Improved Staffing:
As any shift manager knows, it’s vital to get staffing right. Having too many workers will ramp up labor costs while too few could lead to inadequate service. A potentially life-threatening situation in healthcare!
2) Electronic Health Records (EHRs):
This is unquestionably the most common use of big data in medicine. Every patient has their own digital file that includes personal details, medical history, allergies, laboratory results, etc.. Which can be shared via secure systems from both public and private providers.
They also feature a single modifiable file to save on paperwork and avoid data duplication. Additionally, EHRs provide warnings or reminders when a patient should have a new test or check. If they’re taking medication correctly.
The US has made great progress with 94% of hospitals adopting EHRs according to this HITECH research; however, Europe lags behind. But an ambitious directive by the European Commission is trying to change that.
3) Real-Time Alerts:
Clinics employ Clinical Decision Support (CDS) systems that quickly analyze medical data and offer prescriptive advice for health practitioners.
To reduce in-house treatments, healthcare professionals are looking to use wearables that monitor patients’ health data and send it to the cloud. Similarly, the socio-economic context can be used to modify delivery strategies.
Additionally, sophisticated tools can continuously monitor this massive stream of data. Send an alarm if the results turn out to be abnormal. An alert is triggered if a patient’s blood pressure increases dramatically.
4) Patient Involvement:
consumers are now interested in using smart devices that monitor their daily activities. Vital signs; allows them to identify potential risks. Patients are directly involved in monitoring their health and receive incentives from insurance companies to lead healthy lifestyles
5) Preventing Opioid Abuse in the US:
As of this year, opioid misuse has resulted in more accidental deaths in the US than in traffic accidents, making it a very serious issue. Canada even declared opioid abuse a national health crisis, and former President Obama allocated $1.1 billion dollars to find solutions.
Big data analytics may just be the answer we need. Data scientists and analysts at Blue Cross Blue Shield. Fuzzy Logix has identified 742 risk factors that can predict with high accuracy if someone is at risk for opioid abuse.
Although helping those deemed ‘high risk’ is an intricate task, this project gives us hope for lessening the impact of this issue on people’s lives and the system as a whole.
6) Using Health Data For Strategic Planning:
The utilization of big data in healthcare enables strategic planning because of a better understanding of people’s motivations. Care managers can review check-up results among different demographic groups to identify what keeps them from getting treatment.
The University of Florida used Google Maps and free public health data to make heat maps for multiple topics such as population growth. Then compared them with medical services accessible in those same areas.
7) Big Data Could Possibly Be a Cancer Cure:
The Cancer Moonshot program was proposed by President Obama during his second term. Aimed to make 10 years of progress in curing cancer in just half that time.
Can be used to identify trends in real-world treatments and patient recovery rates. Can even uncover unexpected solutions – such as Desipramine’s ability to help cure certain types of lung cancer.
To achieve this, patient databases must be linked up from different sources like hospitals, universities, and nonprofits. It is not without its challenges: incompatible data systems and patient confidentiality laws must be addressed
8) Predictive Analytics In Healthcare:
Predictive analytics in healthcare is an important trend that is helping doctors make data-driven decisions quickly. Which is particularly useful in cases of complex medical histories.
With this, healthcare organizations can also predict who may be at risk of illnesses like diabetes and provide extra screenings or weight management plans.
9) Reduce Fraud And Enhance Security:
Reducing fraud and improving security is also a major focus. Studies show that 93% of healthcare organizations have experienced a data breach, so many are now utilizing analytics to spot changes in network traffic and other suspicious behaviors to prevent threats.
To address the inherent security issues of big data, organizations have equipped themselves with encryption technology, firewalls, and anti-virus software. Other solutions for optimum protection. This helps streamline insurance claims processing and Allows patients to get better returns on their claims as well as quicker payment for caregivers.”
10) Telemedicine:
Telemedicine has been around for over 40 years, but with the development of online video conferences and smart devices, it has been able to fully blossom. This term refers to the use of technology for providing remote clinical services.
It is used for primary consultations, initial diagnosis, remote patient monitoring, medical education, and even telesurgery. Meaning doctors can perform surgery remotely with the help of robots and real-time data delivery.
Telemedicine also allows clinicians to provide tailored treatment plans to prevent hospitalization or re-admission through healthcare data analytics – like predictive analytics that can anticipate acute medical events in advance.
11) Integrating Big-Style Data With Medical Imaging:
Every year in the US approximately 600 million imaging procedures are carried out, which is extremely time and money-consuming due to manual analysis and long-term storage of images.
Carestream explains how big data analytics could be utilized to identify patterns within an image’s pixels and turn them into a number that would aid diagnosis – thereby radiologists may not have to look at images in the future but instead analyze the outcomes of algorithms that can remember more images than they could ever do manually
 This would inevitably have a big influence on radiologists’ roles, education, and skill set.
12) A Strategy To Reduce Unnecessary ER Visits:
Have you heard about the Oakland woman who visited the ER 900 times in three years? Her issues were made worse due to the lack of medical record sharing among hospitals, increasing both costs for taxpayers and difficulty for her to get good care. Alta Bates Summit Medical Center’s Tracy Schrider said it was a mess of wasted resources for both hospitals and the patient. To prevent cases like this from happening again, Alameda county Hospital created PreManage ED – a program that shares patient records between emergency departments. This enables ER staff to access tests done at other hospitals, case manager assignments, and advice given to the patient – all in an effort to maintain a coherent message. Healthcare analytics is necessary and this is a great example of how they can be used.
13) Smart Staffing & Personnel Management:
Without engaged and unified personnel, patient care will suffer, service rates will decline, and mistakes will occur. To overcome this, healthcare organizations can utilize big data tools to streamline staff management in various ways.
By utilizing the right HR analytics, medical institutions can maximize their staffing while forecasting the demands of operating rooms, thus improving patient care.
Often in healthcare institutions, the staff is distributed unevenly which can lead to a lack of motivation in the workforce and higher rates of absenteeism.
With data-driven analytics though, it’s possible to predict when personnel is needed in certain departments during peak times and equally distribute skilled personnel throughout the institution during lower traffic periods.
Moreover, analytics allow senior staff or executives to provide adequate support when needed, plan strategically, and make the staff processes as efficient as possible.
14) Learning & Development
Continuing on from the last point; having skilled and confident people in hospitals or medical institutions is necessary for positive outcomes.
While doctors are highly knowledgeable in their fields of expertise, there are also other positions within one roof such as porters and admin clerks as well as cardiac specialists and brain surgeons
Not only do these people need certifications but they must have soft skills too to keep the institution running at its full potential. To do so you must promote continuous learning and development for all staff members.
15) Advanced Risk & Disease Control
Using big data and healthcare analytics, we can easily identify and better predict the risks and health of patients with chronic illnesses. This helps us reduce hospitalizations by finding the right medical treatment, tracking symptoms, monitoring the frequency of medical visits, and more.
This then translates to lower financial costs for healthcare institutions, as well as more resources being available for those who need them most. Ultimately, using data-driven insights in healthcare can work wonders to both save lives and improve patient care overall. 
16) Prevention of suicide and self-injury:
Nearly 800,000 people die from suicide each year, and 17% of the world’s population experience self-harm at some point in their lives. These numbers are staggering, which is why big data applications in healthcare are making a positive difference in suicide and self-harm prevention.
Hospitals and other healthcare institutions regularly monitor patients’ EHR data, combined with a standard depression questionnaire, to identify those at an increased risk for attempting or succeeding in suicide.
Using a predictive algorithm, researchers found that those within the top 1% of flagged patients were 200 times more likely to attempt or succeed in suicide. As former Gartner VP and research director Paolo Magrassi once said: “If someone pushes the data enough (openly or not), it will confess anything.”
17) More effective supply chain management
When a medical organization’s supply chain is weak or fragmented, it can have a huge impact on patient care, finances, and so forth. That’s why big data in healthcare is so invaluable when it comes to supply chain management; it helps us track performance metrics, make smarter decisions regarding expenditure, and optimize ordering processes – all resulting in an estimated saving of up to $10 million per year for hospitals.
Using descriptive and predictive analytics models allows us to better negotiate prices and reduce variations in supplies while ensuring treatment is administered quickly without any costly delays.
18) Exploring New Therapeutic Avenues & Innovations:
Our healthcare analytics next example focuses on creating a better future for the medical industry. Big data analysis in healthcare has the potential to assist in discovering new treatments and innovative drugs.
By combining historical, real-time, and predictive metrics along with effective data visualization techniques, healthcare professionals can identify potential strengths and weaknesses in trials or processes.
Furthermore, through analyzing genetic information from data-driven sources and predictive reactions in patients, big data analytics in healthcare could be of major importance for the development of groundbreaking new medications and advanced therapies.
Data analytics in healthcare can help to streamline operations, innovate approaches, ensure safety, and even save lives. It provides certainty and insight, paving the way forward.
19) Aiding With Mass Disease Management & Tracking:
Since the beginning of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has had an immense effect on people all around the world. The widespread nature of this disease presented a challenge to health professionals who found themselves trying to learn from it while also trying to control it simultaneously.
In this regard, big data played an essential role in helping the global response against this virus that brought life to a standstill for years.
With the aid of advanced data management technologies, health experts have been able to track. Monitor how COVID spreads dynamically; how it mutates depending on different factors; as well as its effects on different world economies. All through analyzing massive datasets from sources such as individual patient records and human behaviors.
20) Processes toward better drug prescriptions:
As we have seen with all the cases mentioned, the huge amount of data available to healthcare professionals has been a game-changer for patient care, disease prevention, and many other areas.
So it is no wonder that this trend has made its way to the pharmaceutical industry. Where it can maximize drug values and improve prescription quality. This brings us to our next big-data healthcare application.
One company that has embraced this is Express Scripts, an organization that manages medicine coverage for customers who provide health insurance plans. According to a Pharmaceutical Journal report, the US-based firm collected information from 83 million patients containing both clinical. Behavioral aspects like somebody getting a prescription or Tweets directed at them. With this data, they are able to foresee critical scenarios such as who is likely to become reliant on particular medications or those not following their treatment plan.
21) Eliminate Human Error:
Healthcare fraud ranges anywhere from inaccurate billings to inefficiencies leading to unnecessary tests. The incorrect medical records are being entered
The National Health Care Anti-Fraud Association estimates financial losses due to healthcare fraud in the US alone may reach $300 billion annually.
This implies roughly 10% of total health spending is lost due to fraud or human error. However, money isn’t even the main issue here. If given the wrong medicine or treatment can put people’s lives at risk Leading to possible long-term effects or death.
Overall, these 21 examples of healthcare analytics have revealed three major trends. The patient experience will drastically enhance, including the quality of care and level of acceptance. Auch on a sustainable basis can improve the general health of the population. Significantly decreased Operational costs

Mm. Yeah. The out of stock items arrived in today's package and the others already shipped. Gonna end up with duplicates of Izora and Abracadabra on CD. Oops.
Tumblr media
The store I tried to order BUCK-TICK's last 2 albums (and other items) from emailed me that they don't have them in stock and asked if I want to wait or remove those items. I placed an order with another shop and told them to remove them, but got an automated email this morning that Abracadabra will be shipping on the 7th. So now I may end up with duplicates. Might hold a giveaway if that happens.
