"Learning is not attained by chance, it must be sought for with ardor and attended to with diligence." --Abigail Adams
About: I finally decided to sit down and figure out how to make a full-length mix with seamless transitions between tracks. Of course, this was my first time giving it a shot, so some transitions are pretty wincingly bad; however, there are a few that I'm especially proud of (De La Soul to Jay-Z is sweet). Also, I think I'm entitled to mess up a few times the first time around. This mix is one big .mp3; no individual tracks. I know this frustrates some people, because they like being able to pick and choose their favorite tracks, but my personal ethos with mixes is that each track has to flow into the next -- this format epitomizes that philosophy.
