March Travel Mixtape Contest

Traveling is an eye opening and enlightening experience, and such a journey cannot be complete without an equally amazing soundtrack. One of my favorite travel experiences was on a bus going from France to Amsterdam, and I remember spending the entire trip staring out the window at the sprawling landscape dotted with quaint towns, listening to mixtapes and albums that to this day when I hear, take me back to that bus ride.

Our March catalog has a distinct travel theme, so we thought it would be fun to hold a music mixtape contest!  We want you all to create a mix of 5 – 10 songs that you would want to listen to while traveling. All you have to do is go to our RDIO page and add 5- 10 songs to our collaborative playlist, March Travel Mixtape Contest.”

If you aren’t familiar with RDIO, you can register for free – then simply click on the link above to our mix, and click on the button that says “collaborate on this playlist.” You will be able to search for songs and add them to the playlist right there on the page.

Once you’re finished adding songs, leave a comment below the playlist, in the box that says “write a review” indicating which song numbers you added.

Lastly, come back and leave a comment on the blog listing your songs – be sure to include your email address! We will review all submissions and select a winner in one week, on Tuesday March 13th –  the winner’s mix will be featured on the blog and they will also receive a $200 gift card!
