Mixtape, Meet Muxtape

Posted about 1 year ago
Muxtape
I just got word of this little site that is a hold out for some of us stalwarts that, even in the digital age, still prefer the term "Mix Tape".
This site called Muxtape allows users to upload up to 12 songs and share their mixtapes.
My initial take on this so far? It's got a nice clean and simple interface, and is easy to use. It takes the Google approach and doesn't muck up the UI with popups and banner ads. The uploads are a bit slow, and there doesn't seem to be anyway to embed a playlist, or allow others to download it, for that matter. This might strictly be a Cover Our Ass move on their part though. The site is a little slow in general, but that could be due to user activity. Check out my mix here.

    msquared64 says like the mix! And it's definitely a simple UI. I agree, it must be a "Cover Our Ass" technique, and I seriously doubt this site will be up that long...

    democlez says I was thinking the same thing. I don't see this lasting very long. It's a great idea though. Thanks for the link contrabandwidth.

    fistula spume says Oh dude you totally scooped me. I was going to post on this today too but I had to wait until after lunch. Here's my muxtape. All the songs are short around 1:22 long. Except for the last one. http://fistulaspume.muxtape.com/ This is pretty fun. I'll check yours out while I'm processing applications.

    White and Nerdy says I have a feeling if I live to be an old man, I'll probably still be referring to "mixed tapes" when I talk to people about music. I'll have to go have a look at this muxtape site. And what's not to like about "Punkrocker" by the Teddybears? Great tune!

    indiepixie says what's weird is for some reason i loved the physicality of the mixtape almost as much as the music within. like with the ducktape and marker for the 'creative' title. or the physical experience of waiting on the radio for a good song, clicking record, and forcing the radio and the recorder as close together as they can be. And then relishing the rustle in the background that was inevitable. Made the music human :)

    contrabandwidth says Yes, but that would lose that all so human feel...
