Mix albums - Seperate tracks or 1 big one?

When listening and getting mix albums (not live sets) off the internet, which do you prefer?

1. Seperate Tracks.
2. One Big Track.

I had to think about this one

I down load both singles and Live sets.....My preference are the live sets ......it's one thing to listen to a great single but when you here a great live set ....you get the music , hear the mix from song to song and finally the back round noise of the crowd...hmmmmmmmm...I can at times close my eyes and see myself there.....

Great long set......Guy Ornadel - essential mix

1 big track for me!

i voted one big file
but i don't really care... i just load it up in winamp and play the thing...
what i do care for is that it's one big file when i download it... i don't like having to download 100000 pieces for a 70min mix!
just make one big zip or mp3 of it!!!

One big file. I can always break it up using a .cue file if I really want to. But split into tracks it just clutters up your playlist.

He didnt talk about sets or singles....
He meant albums....if you DL Magik 6 for example...would you like it as 1 long track or a split up?

I prefer split up so i can burn it onto CD....im to lazy to cut it up myself

I prefer one big track.
I use a mp3cd player 2 play my mp3, so if you've a mix album in different tracks, you've gaps between the songs, which totally sucks.

Hmm..
I voted "One big track" but I thought it was about Live Sets or mp3s... Actually I prefer separate tracks when they are NOT mixed. In case they are mixed I have when they are splited

no difference for me

I chose I big track. The reason is that I download it and burn it to CD using a .cue sheet that I make myself. Then when you listen to it on your stereo you can listen to the whole thing without any gaps between tracks, but still be able to skip to your favorite tracks when you want to listen to them!

One big file is the best.

one big track also, but if you are not carefull enough or store them on cds you might fill up your hard drive pretty quickly (for those like me who only have 15 gigs total hd)
