Just in case anyone was getting annoyed thinking they had to keep a browser window open to listen to the mixes, you can download them by clicking on the 'DivShare' link.
This will take you to a page where you can download the mp3s, thus enabling you to shove them on your ipod and listen to them while wrestling bears, weaving toupees or whatever else you weirdos do in your spare time.
