This Is The Time

if you download the mix, the songs are all M4A (damn mac people), i meant to encode them as MP3's but forgot, i will for future mixes

i used itunes, i imported the tunes i wanted and put them all in a single album, added the art work and then went to my itunes folder to retrieve the folder containing the songs (you could just put the songs in a folder of your own choosing)

i signed up for a free account at sendspace.com so i had some where to host the mix

i compressed the mix into a zip file (download winzip or winrar for windows, stuffit for mac)

go to your sendspace account and upload, when done they'll provide you with a url you can use to direct folks to your tunes

ok. The only thing I'm lacking is a way to fade in and out of songs. Can I do that with Windows Media?

nope that's more specialized stuff, i didn't bother with mine

I really want to fade in and out. I'm gonna see if there's a program that lets me do that

i've got a program called mixmeister that lets you do that, but you have to either buy it or find it some other way (i managed to find it some other way)

I just downloaded Audacity and I'm playing with it as we speak

Oooh this topic is taking on a whole new flavor of awesomeness.

you got that right jesse. I'm so excited that I can finally make a mix with fade-ins and outs. Pretty soon we'll be carrying around A2K mixes in our portable mp3 players.

Do you know if it's possible to just share iTunes playlists, or do I need to go through another site (e. g. sendspace)?

I think another site...but maybe dj or robert might know different

pretty sure you might have to upload to an independent site
