Technology always dictates how we incorporate music into our lives, and that's doubly true with mixes. This week, guest Bill Nielsen (a fellow podcaster from So Many Bits) looks back at the mix that graced his Rio Diamond 500 MP3 player, one of the first major digital music players to hit the market around the turn of the century. With only 64 MB but a hunger to strike out from the rest of his high school world, Bill put together an hour of music that made him feel stuff. Learn about it this week!
