King's "Stand By Me," and the Max Tundra remix of Ruby's "Lilypad" - and ends with ... "Bright Mississippi" by Thelonious Monk. If a kid from Williamsburg had made this mix, I'd dock him for the bad joke with the song titles. But from a computer? Awesome.

I'm going to assume you have some Google alert set up and don't just trawl the entire Internet. Obviously much of the problem with the software is the fact I'm an ignorant yutz who starts playing with stuff without ever bothering to read anything. I just dug into the options and found some really nice tweaks along with your suggestions. I'd definitely take any more info you'd care to provide. Wow, thanks Wendell.

To pass multiple songs from different artists, you can just use standard list multi-selection keystrokes. Or sometimes it's easier to just make a playlist, drop the songs there, then select them all and press the mix button. There's tons of options, which isn't always a good thing, but does give some nice flexibility once you figure them out. As to Tom's comment, you can always use constraints, modifiers, or filters to tweak how the output comes out. I can provide more info if interested.

Love & Special Sauce goes with everything. I disagree. Another complaint: it seems to feel, like ketchup, G. Love & Special Sauce goes with everything. I disagree.
