Austin’s Site O’ The Moment - Muxtape
So I thought from time to time I’d post some info on a new site or other geeky thing that gets my attention.
First installment… Muxtape. The site is best described by its own tagline: “a simple way to create and share mp3 mixtapes”. Creating an account is dead simple (you are asked for a name, a password, and an e-mail address) and then you are immediately able to create your muxtape by uploading 12 MP3’s.
Your muxtape comes complete with a unique url (mine is austinmoody.muxtape.com), RSS feed, and HUGE fonts (Web 2.0 FTW!).
I love this site, and hope it stays around. My biggest worry, of course, is how long the record industry will allow it to stay around. The Muxtape terms in the line that people cannot upload “songs they do not have permission to let Muxtape use” which I figure means just about anything.
Quick! I need to find some new artists to check out. Create a Muxtape and slap the url in the comments.
Oh yeah… another bonus for iPhone owners, you can totally listen to music from a Muxtape direct on your device. Good times.

I looked at your muxtape page, and tried clicking the links, but nothing happened for me. They seemed to download (each song went to 100% a few moments after clicking on them), but nothing ever played for me. Am I missing something obvious?
The site seems cool, but I just can’t seem to get it to do anything for me.

Ben, is it still not working for you?
I tried today with Firefox 3 (b5) and IE 8 and it worked. However, a couple of days ago it was acting a bit wonky for me but I think maybe their site was a bit overwhelmed.

Well it worked today. I don’t know what the problem would have been. I’m using FF 2.0.0.13, too. I guess it’s like Brad said, it can be finicky at times. Otherwise it’s a pretty cool site.
