Does anyone have a torrent link to download these, or does getting music in bulk through a torrent feel too illegal in ways that grabbing individual tracks from a directory listing doesn't?

They are in a 110 Gigabyte torrent at themixingbowl, a site dedicated to mixes. I also highly recommend the BTTB series.

I may regret posting this .... But this is what you probably want to do: user@host:/path/to/EssentialMixRip09.04.10$ wget -rl 0 -np -A .mp3 http://thenine.ca/essential/

As a heads up for anyone who doesn't realize how much music this is, that wget will slurp >100gb of stuff (or would, if it weren't for sever load).

Good tip. Thanks.

Does anyone else have fond memories of the Oakenfold mixes? http://thenine.ca/essential/2000/2000.02.13%20-%20Essential%... http://thenine.ca/essential/2000/2000.05.21%20-%20Essential%...

Oakenfold's 'The Goa Mix' is probably the best mix I've ever heard. Should be these two: http://thenine.ca.nyud.net/essential/1994/1994.12.18%20-%20E... http://thenine.ca.nyud.net/essential/1994/1994.12.18%20-%20E...

Goa is good, but there's a lot more to Oakenfold than just that set (love his set from Havana Cuba). I have to say I'm happy to see fellow trance dinosaurs here. The electro world has moved on from the days of Oaky but I still have a vast collection that I use for marathon coding sessions.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I might be misunderstanding you, but surely there must be a line between encouraging people and telling them to go to other sites.

" ... but surely there must be a line between encouraging people and telling them to go to other sites." There's certainly some sort of misunderstanding going on, because now I have no idea what that is supposed to mean or refer to. My original intended point: I do not want to see more posts such as "Every BBC Essential Mix, 1993 to 2010". When they do appear, I prefer people not up-vote them; it just encourages more…

Aren't these copyrighted?

My initial reaction was "WTF is that doing on HN?":

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essential_Mix:

"However in 2010, Mixriot, a website which hosted stream and download links to past Essential Mix broadcasts dating back to the first ever edition for its members, was asked to remove all its past recordings by production company Somethin' Else due to copyright infringement. The Mixriot website is still live though it has since taken down all Essential Mix broadcasts."

I would expect the owner of that site to be getting a nasty letter from a lawyer Real Soon Now.

Yes there is.
