WHAT IS MIXRIOT?

UPLOADING A MIX
Click the Add a Mix link in the navigation on the left. Choose a mix, enter a tracklisting if available, choose one or multiple styles of music, categorize in one of the available drop down menus (if no category fits then please select Promotions, Miscellaneous) and click "Submit." This will start the transfer but you will NOT see any sort of progress bar. Just let it sit.

Transferring large mix files takes quite a while over residential broadband, please be patient. Transferring over University or Business class broadband is generally much faster.

Only MP3, WAV, OGG, MP4, M4A and AAC files are allowed.
