The Monthly Themed Compilation Thread [MAY'S COMP AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD!]

[Freebase Dali]

Every month, participants submit songs to make a downloadable mix-tape.
These compilations are themed, based on the theme that gets the most votes by the poll's deadline.

HOW IT WORKS
On the first of every month, a voting round for the month's theme will begin. It will be held in this thread, and all the previous month's posts and votes will have been cleared. The voting round will start on the 1st of the month, and be closed on the 10th, and the winning theme will be announced. Submissions will then be accepted until the 20th. When the submission round reaches its deadline, the submissions will be arranged into a compilation and featured in the DOWNLOADS section of this post.


THEMES & VOTING
- You may request new themes to be added or removed in this thread at any time.
- Used themes will be removed when the poll is reloaded for the new month.
- Theme voting begins on the 1st of the month, and closes on the 10th.
- Votes are multiple choice.
- If you would like to change a vote, please let me know what you would like your vote changed from & to, prior to the poll's deadline. Requests will not be accepted after that time.


SUBMISSIONS
- Submissions will be accepted from the 10th until the 20th of each month. (This means that submissions will not be accepted on the 20th.)
- Although there are no limits or quotas for submissions, please keep the number of voters in mind when submitting and assume an average of 2 submissions per voter. If additions or reductions in song numbers become necessary for a particular compilation, there will be notification of that.
- Please label your submissions with at least the artist and song title.
- Please send only MP3s, 128kbps or higher.

Upload your songs to a file hosting service and PM the download links to:
Freebase Dali

I will not be hosting the guessing games for these compilations. If participants wish to play them on their own in this thread, they are welcome, and should remember to request anonymity when submitting their songs, otherwise their names will be credited in the download and in this thread.


There will be notifications of any changes or updates regarding these comps.

Apologies for taking so long to get this done, but I had family visiting recently and a bunch of other stuff happening, plus I'm ridiculously lazy. I hope this release is enjoyed nonetheless, even with the obvious lack of effort and concentration I put into it.

Any songs not included in this compilation were far too long, or I didn't receive them.

[Mrd00d]

Ah, thank you very much. I was excited to hear this and it delivered IMO. I've heard it a handful of times so far today. I like the flow of the album, especially considering you say it was done hastily. Thank you very much...

Thanks man! Yea, I usually spend a couple days on the song order, but this one.. heh... I was already like a few days past my usual release timeframe so I got it done at once, but then realized I forgot to add 5 songs into the incoming folder (your 4 tracks were among them!) after I'd already positioned everything, adjusted levels, and exported, so I impatiently added them. I hope they're not too off, but I'm glad you say you enjoyed it! I was literally down to the upload stage when I realized it too. lol...

Downloading now... just curious, why do you use Megaupload? I find Mediafire a lot better, since it doesn't make you wait 45 seconds to download and doesn't limit you

[Mrd00d]

Agreed, although I notice they USED to use mediafire for the older comps. At least it's not rapidshare XD

45 seconds?

45 seconds is an incredibly long time, how do you even wait that long?

Oh and Freebase you were supposed to get my second song from my collection for a better quality version of it but it's fine. I'll just link it to you instead next time.

It's just a minor annoyance to have to navigate away from the page, wait, come back, and THEN start the download. I'm just saying that mediafire doesn't make you do that, no need to be a dick
