For the last few months, I have been putting together a weekly mixtape: a cassette-tape-sized chunk of music that I enjoy, and that you should enjoy too. Some will be new, some old.

These are distributed as streaming audio: click on the link below to listen to each mixtape from the beginning. Each mixtape will be available for two weeks.

If you're wondering why this is not a Podcast, or otherwise downloadable, it's because that would be illegal. We (DNA Lounge) pay our licensing fees to ASCAP, etc., but as far as I've been able to decipher the rules, the only way to legally distribute this music in any way except streaming would be to get explicit permission from each copyright holder, which is just too much work.

We're also prohibited from "encouraging" users to users to copy the music, and we are required to "disable copying by users if in possession of technology capable of doing so."

This means that, for example, if there existed tools out in the world that made it trivial for you to download any streaming audio webcast anywhere, I wouldn't be allowed to tell you what those tools were. If they existed. And I'm not saying that they do.
