Muxtape Closed

Muxtape will be unavailable for a brief period while we sort out a problem with the RIAA.

The message above has appeared on the Muxtape website. It also appears if you try to go straight to a muxtape you know the address for. It seems that the Recording Industry Association of America, after going after anyone who has burnt, borrowed or stolen an album, is now cracking down on the free streaming site. Some might say this move by the RIAA was inevitable, either way lets just hope Muxtape lives to see see another day.

simple but effective - muxtape

Muxtape lets you choose 12 songs to upload as a mix. It also lets you pick someone else’s mix and listen to it. It’s a nice change from last fm’s random same genre buzz. My only one negative point is that maybe people should be a bit more creative with the names of their mixes… It’s only a new site so I’m guessing the guys who developed it are still working on a few things to improve user interface etc. Still I think it’s a nice idea.
