Free + Legal

All you mixmasters out there, listen up. Salon is going to give away a nice, shiny new iPod for the best summer mix. The catch is that the downloads must be available free and legally online.

The rules are below:

All tracks must be both free and legal. To make this easy to police I'm going to insist that they are posted on the artist's Web site, on the label's Web site, or on a legitimate MP3 site like Better Propaganda, Insound or Epitonic.

Include the artist name, track title, album title, and download link for every track.

No streams! Only MP3 downloads.

You're welcome to dip into the Audiofile archives to find some of your material, but I'll be more excited about playlists that bring in new material.

You can't include your own music! And be sparing with music by friends. If you're close friends with an unheard of musician who you think is the greatest songwriter alive ... you're probably wrong!

Each playlist should be between 10 and 15 tracks.

Each playlist should have a title.

Submissions should be sent to audiofile@salon.com with the subject line "Playlist: Summer."

The deadline for submissions is 5 p.m. EDT, Monday, June 27.
