another suggestion is that people please post label information along with the tracklist. an example being:

??. Artist Name - Track Name [Label]

02. Plastikman - I No [M_nus]

it helps people identify tracks, as release versions differ depending when and which label released it. also it helps listeners become familiar with the outputs of particular labels, which goes a long way when you obsessively follow music and dig for obscure tracks (like a lot of people on this forum )

I'd like to suggest that it be in the guidelines that people include a download link? I'm sure I'm not the only one that won't listen to something if streaming is the only available way of listening to it.

I prefer to download as well, but it's up to the user really. Unfortunately, this is likely to happen less and less as people (DJs in particular) move away from Soundcloud due to their overly harsh copyright protection. A lot of people are turning to Mixcloud, which doesn't offer downloading, only streaming.

Maybe just a note that a sizeable portion of users will only listen to your set if you include a download link so it might be good to check if you have that option available before posting.

I have a suggestion that would help me (and probably others) out massively. Can people please use sensible file names? In particular can you guys use ones that include the dj name (preferably with a similar name to your thread on tranceaddict so it's easily searchable). There's so many mixes I have that only have the name of the mix or just have a bunch of numbers for the filename, and this makes it really difficult to actually find out who did it or look up the tracklist.

Can't you just take a moment when you save the file to name it what you want? That's what I do to everything that isn't labeled properly. Two seconds man

If you look at it from a utilitarian perspective though, if someone has 100 downloads on their mix, that's 100 times 5 seconds vs the creator taking 5 seconds of labeling it properly in the first place.

Also, I don't see any easy ways of renaming files in firefox as you're choosing to download it, so sure I could rename it after it's done but so many times I'll just end up forgetting. That combined with the fact that most mixes do have sensible names means I don't really bother with the few that have issues. It does however get annoying when there's some mix I download a month ago that's really great that I have no idea about the source of though.
