This will of course have no straight answer and I suppose it doesn't matter too much, but I'm actually quite curious as to what sort of reactions I'll get on this one. We release our mixes usually around the 1 hour 15 min mark which typically mimics that of a regular CD which holds around 74 or so mins. For our Christmas/NYE mix I extended it a little to an hour and half and included a lot more tracks in a shorter period of time but so far I'm happy to stick with 75 mins or so, give or take.
Do you stick to a certain time frame or see how it goes and put it out as is? I know some mixes end up 2 hours and beyond, but I personally find that quite often they don't get listened to properly in a lot of cases. Someone once pointed out that he liked a mix we'd put out but wished it had been longer. Since then it got me thinking about this, so I thought i'd throw the question out here as it's something I don't think I've seen discussed before. Probably has but I haven't seen anyone talk about it.
