so if we made only one best of cd, and it circulated around to the people who were interested in it, and reserved it, we would not be able to listen to it simultaneously, right?

Just to clarify. Let's say you make a favorites cd:
The 10 songs come from cds that you bought at best buy or whereever. When you bought the cd you also got the right to play that music. Now you burn a favorites cd - still within your rights. Now you loan that cd to someone else. I think that's cool - but you don't have the right to play those 10 songs until you get the loaner back. Think of it that same way you'd share a book. You can't loan the book
and read it at the same time.
The above is my opinion only - the RIAA takes a more strict stance on things.

what if we happen to hear one of the songs on the radio?????

The station's license is paying for that particular performance.

I'll accept that as a working hypothesis.
