You got me for randomburn?
Lucky you.

What exactly are the rules? Is it the first ten random songs? Do you do different CDs for different people?

I've done 5 the same
18 songs, all random. I think you're allowed 3 swaps. I've changed the order a bit.

It'll have a nice cover on it, too, I made that today and another thing what I made

Set your media player (wmp is actually quite good at this) to random
drag say 25 to the burn window. It'll spill over into 2 cds. You get 3 same-artist deletes (2 songs by the same artist? Pick one to remove) and the overspill moves up onto your CD. Then you get 2 "I want this song featured so I'll take another one off" swaps. Then you arrange what songs you've got into a nice thematic order and burn 5 of the suckers.

I don't think I arranged them well,
but there seemed to be a few themes, namely pirates, identity crises and a couple of sad 'end of a record' tracks

I made a couple of compilation CDs a few years back
and the first one got a pretty muted reaction, and for the second I arranged the tracks mellowest/slowest to heaviest/fastest and got positive feedback from several people. So I try and do that now, or start rocking and gradually mellow out, or have a silly song at the start and at the end....

usually I have a theme
which, unsurprisingly, is usually based around whatever the main theme in larp is that year
