the music will be evaluated i believe
like "Which list do you like better" and they mark on a poll?
or am I wrong?

Zootlesque said:And the vote is basically like a coin toss, correct? Or is the music gonna be evaluated? Of course, that would interfere with the whole subjectivity theory!
Axver said:Of course, someone like me is going to vote on flow. Others may not. Remember, you're stuck on a desert island with 160 minutes of music: fill that 160 minutes in the best way you think you can.
My goal with my own mix was to make the best sounding compilation - both in terms of individual songs that stand alone with high quality, and in terms of two discs that sound excellent from start to finish, without jarring the listener with harsh changes. So I wasn't just going for my favourite songs; nor was I inserting songs simply for flow despite the fact they don't stand alone impressively. I sought a balance. I think I got it, but whether others do ...
VertigoGal said:we do have a few days to compile it and send files, right? and do I need to zip the files b/c I'm not sure how to do that..
hippy said:Okay... I'm working on my mix and reading over the posts...
Originally this was set up as two separate cds, right? Now that were posting the mixes, should we consider this as a complete 160 minute playlist instead?
This will make a difference in how I plan these discs

I made 2 playlists as if they were for 2 80 minute cds.
one big clusterfuck of a playlist would be too much IMO.

I think it would be good if we made a .com account specifically for this competition. You can upload files up to 60MB in size to , and the link remains active for up to 30 days after the last download. I don't know any other site with such a generous time limit. The only problem is that 60MB limit - I'm pretty sure our discs would be bigger than that, even if zipped. So that may mean using three zipped files.
For those who don't know how to do it, it's dead easy and we'll make a step-by-step guide. And if you're limited by technical constraints or slow Internet, surely someone here can help.
An upload is NOT required, by the way. Just thought I'd make that clear. Only do it if you want to. It will likely improve your chances of getting votes, especially if you are using a lot of obscure material.

Eliv8 said:Maybe I’m missing something but if you have 2 CD's per person per day then the 'judges' really don’t have much time to download and listen to the selections. I barely have time to listen to one full CD during the time it takes me to get to and from work let alone 4 to judge a contest. Maybe it should be just one CD or have a different round each week.
