If you block popup windows in your browser, you will need to turn that feature off in order to enjoy the music.

I was unable to get the page to work correctly in Safari. I will try FireFox.

Great tip, Volker! Thanks!

Have tryied with both, Safari and FireFox. All I got was a pop-up window asking for my email address but can't get any further.

Any suggestion?

This should work:

1. URL: http://www.mercedes-benz.com/com/e/home/passion/entertainment/mixedtape/index.html

2. Click on the link "Start Special"

3. Wait for the new popup-window (flash) to finish loading

4. Click on the link "Play"

5. Click on the link "Download all tracks" (at the bottom of the songs list)

6. Click on the link "DOWNLOAD"

7. If 5. does not work on your first attemp (happens to me), click on the link "HOME" (on the top bar navigation) and try again.

8. Have fun. :-)

Thanks a lot Manfred,

this way it worked beautifully. No problem at all even on track 5.

I attempted to download the songs, but I get prompted for a username and password. I cannot find a registration link and it doesn't sound like anyone else had this problem.

Any help??

Usually I use Winzip but on this machine I just have the standard MS installed tool for archives. When I tried to extract I got the prompt but when I double clicked to go in it opened and I was able to drag/drop the files with out being prompted. Crazy MS products...

I just heard the 2nd one of Mixed Tape. And its great!
I know I'm to late, but I'd like to get the Mixed Tape 01, too.
Would it be possbile to get it anywhere else?
Unfortunatly Mercedes doesn't host it anymore at their website.

Thanks a lot

I'm also way to late for the MT 01, luckily got the 2'nd from the MB site. Does anyone know from where to get the first Mixed Tape? Please?!
