that's a good thing.  although i am generally not into CDRs as 
official releases, sending CDRs to radio is a good way to get some 
feedback and possible airplay/exposure, espeically those working in 
the underground/experimental realm.  unfortunately, there are a lot 
of radio stations that do reject CDRs outright.  i even have the 
feeling some live venues discount an artist if they receive a CDR 
instead of a pressed CD.
