If someone really likes a track enough to go out and buy it, I've helped support the artist and label that made it possible for me to play the song in the first place. This is a good thing. Feeling ownership over music I didn't write, to the degree of keeping a secret, seems just wrong.
Seeing a track listing may make it more likely for me to listen, when there is a ton of stuff I've never heard before, not because I want to trainspot, but because this is something more interesting than a top 10 list. Which is the goal of most people posting mixes, is to get some feedback, and spread the joy of their selections. It also makes it easier for me to give feedback, as I will have the track title in front of me.
