Hmm.... I don't understand all this hate on continuous mixes (if it's done right). What's not to like about tracks transitioning nicely into each other with a few scratches thrown in there. It can be a very smooth, enjoyable listen. Sometimes I hear a track I've already heard a handful of times bef...

Are tracks CD quality? Or is it just a vinyl mix put into a CD? They should do cheaper CD version of all these limited collector releases...preferably without mixing.
