Music Mixes

I used to spend quite a bit of time making cool "CD" mixes, using the late great MusicMatch Jukebox. They were CD-length, since I would burn them for friends, but now of course that's a moot point. If you like any of these bands, try out these mixes for smooth sequences of great songs.
