a technical thing: the sound is quite glitchy in places (probably a timestretching artifact) which makes it kind of annoying to listen to to be quite honest.
You are, of course, right, and I noticed as well, but couldn't correct all the timestretching artifacts because I'm a n00b.

I made it with the, err, demo version of Live. The problem is probably caused by the shabby source files which are usual-quality MP3s (i.e., 128+ kbit/s) from 90s CD compilations. Strangely, different parts of the mix sound differently glitchy - but not altogether consistent with the amount of warping. Another funny thing is that the mix sounds most awful in Live, best as a .wav in Audacity, and somewhere in between as an MP3 in the website player.

Do you have any suggestions for proper artifact correction, KoS?

P.S.: Luckily, my friends don't have your ears, so they didn't complain. Also, the party's general sound level might have helped.
