"as soon as i find out a mix was done on the computer i completely lose
interest in it."
Are you implying you are less than perfect at detecting if a mix was done
on a computer through listening alone? If so, what does that say about
your decision-making process?
Call me old fashioned, but I have always decided what music interested me
by my own subjective emotional and intellectual response to the audio
itself. I have never decided what interested me by evaluating how it got
from the artist's or DJ's head into my ears.
Maybe, if I heard the best track _ever_ and then found out the sample
material was derived from the sounds of dying children, or some really
cute puppy dogs getting run through a meat grinder, or something else
involving uninvited violence, I might change my mind on that position.

intellectual activity ceases" (or something like that) -- you're dead on,
mate.

it'll only make the slsk queues longer. :D
