Making mixes for people is a grossly underrated medium of expression. I know people who have put more thought into compiling a mix tape than they put in almost anything else they have ever done. My poor wife has gotten more mix tapes than love letters by a ratio of about 30:1. That's not an exaggeration.
The Art of the Mix website has been around since 1997, gathering people's mixes and allowing others to comment on them. They've got over 10,000 mixes up on the site right now. It's a great idea. Our own Sab came up with a similar idea a while ago, but didn't get too far with it. It's still a great idea. I just uploaded my latest mix to Art of the Mix, and I plan on uploading the rest of them from now. You should too. I wish I had known about this since 1997.
And yes, there is a category for "Break Up" mixes. You can search for them by category and feel relieved that you didn't know about this site the last time you had your heart broken. But at least you weren't as sappy as some people, ha ha. Or maybe you were. I hope nobody ever finds the track lists for the mixes I made when I was 18...
