I happen to love making mix CDs. It is one of my favorite hobbies (and also a good justification for having an enormous CD collection). It feels like I am creating an interesting experience all its own by placing familiar music in new context.

I'd like to hear what other people have come up with... to start things off, here is one of my recent discs:

I'm very proud of this one, actually. Some of the crossfades are unnoticable unless one is familiar with the music (in particular, the stretch that includes "Summerland," "The Trees" and the theme from A Walk in the Clouds is particularly flowing).

Actually, I know there had been threads of this nature before (having participated in one of them), but I couldn't find them... so I am actually quite glad that these links have been posted...

I'm actually in the process of doing my best of CDs from 1990 through 2002. Pretty fun...I'll just load them up in my car and let them cycle until the end of time!
