Hey all,
I've uploaded my mix to SendSpace. The Bus should be e-mailing the link to you shortly (mail participants will still receive the CDs).
The tracks have been stripped of their ID3 tags and such. Just so you really have no idea what to expect, other than what you can gather from the title of the mix...
I will upload the tracklist by adding a link in my signature after I get back from work today.
Enjoy!

I sent my packages to the mail group this morning via 1st class so you should have them sometime next week. I included a track listing, but flipped it over within the case so you can decide if you want to look at it before you play the disk.

My disc went out today as well. Track listing is included but obviously optional. I titled my mix "Scattershot Mix," given that that's what it is. I'll be curious to hear your impressions.

My cds also went out today. Unfold the insert to find the track list and an explanation of what "The Rock Avenue" used to mean in Las Vegas.

Hey, mail group. I totally scrapped my first mix (luckily, I didn't burn it onto any discs) and started over this weekend. This one's a bit more cohesive. I'll be sending it out tomorrow afternoon, barring some unforeseen circumstance.
If you don't want to see the tracklist, don't unfold the piece of paper I sent along with it. (I didn't make a cover)
BTW, I should've posted this earlier, but Sam's Club has a great deal on 6" x 9" bubble mailers - a box of 25 for less than $5.

Also, how long does the sendspace link work? I sent Bus the link a few days ago.

I just sent out my mixes via first class USPS on my lunch break. I also swung by my apartment and was surprised to find Big Dave's, Shiv Shankly's and Damfino's had already arrived in today's mail. I'll be ripping them to my ipod tonight so I can check them out asap, since I'm going to be traveling the rest of the week.

Sometimes the Post Office is amazing, It hasn't even been a full business day since I sent them! (obviously they are working on Sundays)

Hrm. I'll have 'em out Friday, barring flight delays and shit like that.
I have a (different) mix I'd like to put online as well, but I need to find a good free program to compress to .rar for Macs. Anybody know of one?
Thanks!

I'm not quite sure what's going on with the emails as I haven't seen anything since Wednesday, but I'm assuming the Internet people still do not know how to access my file (I uploaded it Tuesday, so we're nearing the 7 days). Mail people should receive a CD shortly, but if anyone wants access to my stuff, use the forum to email me, and I'll just send you the link directly. It's unfair that I've been able to download all these great mixes and seemingly haven't given anything back in return.

I've sent out three different emails using two different providers. If someone hasn't gotten my emails, I don't know what else to do.
I'm sending out Rypro's info now, BTW.

The only emails I have received were the ones that posted the original details for the online and mail groups. I have received no updates since then if they were sent.
I received Shiv Shankly's disc today and it looks like the top of the disc was scrapped in some way. I can see it on the data side as well. I will see how well it plays when I give it a proper listen tomorrow.

Bus, I did some minor tweaks to disc/mix 2 (aka got rid of one song, cut seconds here and there, and added 3 songs, so should i re send it when I get the time (hopefully tonight)?
Also, due to funds and what not, I am sending the first 5 mixes out tonight, and the rest should be done by friday.

The Bus,
Since something strange is clearly going on here, I'll volunteer to work in the distribution department of the Mixtape Mail Room. If you want to send me all the relevant info via IM, I can organize it and resend through my own providers to those of us who aren't able to receive from you.

Okay, I sent mine out this afternoon. First Class turned out to be cheaper than media mail (bonus: y'all will get them sooner).
I listened to my mix again today and wanted to swap some songs. Oh, well. What's done is done.
While I've been on this temp assignment I've been staying at a friend's house to cut down on my daily commute (5 miles vs. 80 miles), which means I only get my mail when I go home on the weekends. Sucks that I have to wait so long to get the mixes.
And for the record, the only e-mails that I've received are the initial mail/internet group ones.
I guess you could. I just use bubble mailers as an added precaution.

Received Shiv Shankly's and Big Dave's cds today!
I am listening to Shiv's now and I'll be back later with comments.
also, since we are comparing notes on emails. I received 2 from The Bus on 12/6 (one for each group) and nothing since.

Just wanted to check in, still listening to the mixes. Probably post my thoughts near the end of the week (12/17), gonna try to give it at least one more listen each night.
