Spring is when life's alive in everything.

Compilation = Unmixed
Mix-CD = Mixed
Sampler = Probably unmixed.

Not necessarily. One can be all three. For example, a diverse variety of artists are compiled onto a mix CD as a sampler of the sound for a specific label ... in a PROMOmotional (there's another) way!

Compilation, as I understand, only menas that the CD is made up of a variety of artists not just one... and well, mi CD obviously means that the tracks are mix together.... Sampler, i dont know

Compilations can be mixed, but don't have to be. A mix-CD is probably a CD a specific set or mix, such as live in a certain location, or a certain party. A compilation could be part of a series, like Gatecrasher or Euphoria and not be mixed for anything special.
