Which is unfortunate. For me, it was the licensed tracks of second and third mixes that got me into the game, and, up until Extreme, they almost always made solid choices. The main and speed series were great sources of fun songs and the charts they came up with for them were generally fun.
Supernova2's choices were mediocre at best (the charts didn't help things) and X brought back some fan favorites but they feel dated and should have been complements to a new set of licenses instead of replacing other licensed content.
