| What is the updated term for a 'mixed tape', now that we no longer use cassette tapes. That is, what do I call if I put together a CD with my compilation of songs from different albums. |

As far as I know it's called a mixtape regardless of media, just as an album is called an album even though its original meaning of "things collected together in a blank book" has long since gone [album means "white book", where white==blank and originally a music album was a collection of 78s bound together in a book]

'Mix(ed) tape' is in the lead. 'Mix CD' and 'compilation/comp' in second. When it comes to 'mix USB', I'd sooner change it myself to 'mixed flash'. Quite happy I can continue using 'mixed tape' and at least some people won't bat an eye.

In my times (back in the... 90's, gosh, am I so old?), a "mixtape" was supposed not to be a simple compilation, but to chain the tracks in a kind of continuum, a song fading out while another was fading in. On the other hand, I remember my brothers making a mixtape which was rich in abrupt transitions... Listening to it was quite...  |

mixtapes often have a mood/theme, ture. I guess the theme can be "stuff i want to hear".

Mixed tape is sadly dead. Now it's hijacking someone's I-pod and submitting a playlist on it.
The future. Lol The term is 'I pod hijack.' ------------- Gimmie my headphones now!!! 🎧🤣 |

It isn't 'I pooped a jack'? Well, now I understand why people gave me funny looks the last time I used this expression... |

 According to Donnie Baker, all songs are called "tapes", regardless of the format they're on or even if they're not recorded at all. ------------- "Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard." -- H.L. Mencken |

This, though I sometimes devolve to the term mixlist as an homage to the mix tape. I only recently started letting a mix list go beyond the 80 mins that could be burnt to an audio cd. ------------- -------someone please tell him to delete this line, he looks like a noob------- I don't have an unnatural obsession with Disney Princesses, I have a fourteen year old daughter and coping mechanisms. |
