yeah, i can always ask someone about a playlist from their ipod and dup it or whatever...this way seems more personal. loses something without the cd in hand.

fishy, i completely understand where you're coming from and will be fine with whatever is decided.

i think it is important to come up with NEW mixes - not just rehashing something you've had or made for someone else, in keeping with the whole concept of mix tapes, but that's just me. plus, how would anyone know? LOL anyway, i have already thought of at least 10 possible themes.

Absolutely.

Can't help it, I'm a touchy-feely person. If you haven't already sent me your address and you would like my mixtape, please message me.

As long as the mail-out stays at twenty or below, I'm game to do it alone. If the club gets larger, I'll ask someone to help me with the load and co-host. The whole point is to stay true to the mixtape.

This is a cool thought. I'd be willing to re-think logistics if others wouldn't mind sort of losing the overall "process of the tape". By that I mean burning discs, liner notes, cover art, etc. I like to do all these things, but would probably have to upload my notes and cover art, etc. because I can't do that times 50 and not end up hating my own idea :D

Yeah.

But really I get a disc and stick it in the machine immediately anyway to rip it.
