C700mb: Christen my mp3 player with the greatest 100+ song mix EVAH!

Bookmark Removed

I bought an in-dash cd-r/mp3 player for my car and I'm having trouble selecting material to fill a 700mb (80 min) cd-r with enough stuff to sustain a week's worth of commuting without changing the disc even once. This is your opportunity to suggest 1, 2, 3, or however many tracks you think sound best in the car. If it's good and I don't already have it, I'll download it.

i think i've ruined this thread by focussing too much on the contemporary, apologies

I personally think that these behemoth 100+ song MP3 mixes are more my speed than 74-minute or C90 mixes, simply because when I burn them for myself I don't feel obligated to keep going back to the familiar. Often the odds-and-ends tracks that I'd only listened to a couple times after downloading, the ones I just stick in to "fill space", suddenly become huge favorites when I hear them during my commute.

I had this damn fool idea to burn myself a series of CD-R MP3 mixes for each year from 2002 and back until sometime in the late '50s/early '60s. I might eventually post one of the tracklistings as soon as I get it sussed out.

And since you don't have to worry as much about wasting space with really long songs, you can put one or both sides of Brainfreeze on it or something.

i resisted portable CD-R listening for some time because i hate the size and volatility of CDs themselves...but if they were MD size i'd be complete. 100+ tracks of whatever you want, just hit random and get on with whatever you're doing - practically perfect
