sorry to burst your bubble, but _that_ sounds like the ultimate recipe
for disaster. people will procrastinate when you tell them what to do.
imagine if they have to _choose_ what they want to remix on top of it.
(not only that, but a few songs may be left unremixed, not because
they're not good, but because the chain members aren't familiar with the
artists involved & won't bother downloading the file. so you'll end up
with 10 remixes of the same song, & 10 unremixed songs. might as well
just make it an open compilation & that's it.)
