Neither I'd say. When wa the last time you played a cd? I know for myself it's been a few years heck even in my truck it's a thumb drive or my phone.

Print cards with your website on there and have some mixes they can stream or download.

What software are you using to burn? If you put this burnt CD into a laptop what file format does your O/S show? are you burning as CDA?

Handing over something that will play in any CD player is immediate but getting a mixcloud account and including the address on your card is selling yourself at the next level.

If you do that then every time you add a new mix with newer songs then you would have to get new business cards every time But I usually just use the windows media player

Don't link to specific mixes, link to your account and then I think your newest mix comes first, (I'm not totally familiar with mixcloud, but that would be fine with soundcloud)

As for WMP how about this pic, does that help?

Also you still have yet to answer what happens if you put a burnt CD into a laptop (file type??)

You don't have a webpage? At least put a mix or two on a flash drive, branded flash drives if you can afford them. There some very good players that can be embedded on webpages to be able to play mix sets back to back if they visitor wants that choice.

Lots of people have USB ports or bluetooth in their cars, lots of others don't, I guess it depends.
