I usually make a CD with songs I want to hear right now......it will last a couple weeks, then get lost or tossed. I only have a few CD that are still in rotation that I made a while back.

discuss?

LOL, I have CD's I burned in my truck right now from 1995, all but one still play great, even the so called "junk" gold ones! The one that makes a "tick" noise on one track has a scratch on it from my long dead dog who stepped on it while I was changing discs and had placed the CD on the console and he decided to climb up there.

I gotta remember to redo that one..

It takes me hours to create an mp3 disc for the car, because I try to set it up so nothing will sound too out of place when it's on random, and will sound decent when played straight through as well.

I think it's fun to listen to old mix cds that I've made, just to see what I was into at the time. I have a set of four discs I made when I went to Florida about 5 years ago, and listening to them also brings back a lot of memories.

When I burn mix CD's, this is what I do. When I burn full albums, I usually add extra mix stuff to the end to fill in the extra. Then I always have a nice surprise when my Led Zeppellin song is over.

I take some time to pick tracks that I know I like and won't get tired of right away. Having an MP3 HU helps since I can usually add ~100 tracks to a single disc.

I burn at least a cd a week. And keep 'em around, with dates. So, when I go back and want a random cd, I can look at the date and sorta remember what tracks I was into at the time.

I have a MP3/CD player in my car. I burn a band's whole discography on a CD and listen to it for months.
