the etiquette of mix CDs

[amul]

Achingly D would always point out that I had a certain roster of songs, at least one of which would always make it onto whatever mix CD I was making. I've made a very big point of not using those songs on the last three mixes I made, and now I've found that there's a different set of songs I seem to be reusing.

Granted, these aren't all going to the same person, like with AD. So what do people think? What's the rules regarding re-use of songs on mix CDs?

[Edit: Obviously, this question doesn't apply to the two Boingo songs, which I need to infect everyone here with so they can engage in certain ritualistic acts with me.]

Yup! In fact, I came up with two mix cd ideas for yours, so I'll be making two mix cds. I've got a list made up of potentials to go in one of them that I now need to narrow down. I haven't started the list for the other yet, but it'll be easier to make, I think. And when I get the opening song figured out for each, the rest just fall into place. :)

It'll take me a little while, too -- only a few times have I been able to crank out a mix in one day, and that only when particularly inspired or desperate (like when trying to save songs from a dying computer). So: no rush for either of us. I am patient, especially because I know it'll be good.
