Seems to be a pretty easy way to upload/stream/share mixes.

Wife likes it. From my point of view I spend 3 minutes searching for a mix that will make everyone happy / not piss me off, then it plays for appx 14 minutes before something awful comes up in the mix and I have to bail out. Rinse, repeat. It's either shit even I have heard to death, or it's poop. Usually a blend. I am probably over-generalizing.

So I guess there's no way to see what's on a mix before playing it?

If there is I, didn't invest the time to figure it out, which would be like me. The popular stuff is always Banjo/Clap/Shout indie rock. I have begun to absolutely hate that shit. I think I'm turning into Radcliffe.

I don't think so, which maybe has to do with them touting it as an alternative to radio.

Actually, it seems like if you play the first track, it lists the next 7 after that in the playlist.

All of this happened again this weekend, exactly as described above. I told the wife about the thread, she chuckled, sighed, and looked for a new playlist that didn't suck.

I've put up a few more mixes since I started this thread!
