Muxtape launched, then the next day *everybody* had one, then the next day we made some for each other, and then the next day we all sorta stopped using it and waited for the RIAA to get pissed.
According to Muxtape: "Muxtape will be unavailable for a brief period while we sort out a problem with the RIAA."
In the meantime, you could always make a REAL mixtape / cd.. .

Bah! I loved Muxtape. Lovely design, great to use (well, browse. Uploading took ages) and I had a smashing compilation on there.
http://seeqpod.com playlists for me from now on.

I remember finding that website....cool deal it was and hopefully still is.
-
This is a bit depressing since my friend told me about it a year ago. She was like, "hopefully this won't be taken down!" A year went by and we were comfortable, and then it GOES DOWN!

Apparently Pandora is having some troubles too.
Is iTunes (and paying the labels) really the only sure bet?
-
Boooo. RIAA is always taking away the fun!
-
I rekon there's something behind all this, possibly a bit of a publicity push?
Whatever it is, I hope it comes back soon!

Aw man, I love muxtape!

Muxtape is (was?) very nice but too limited.
I prefer to create playlists on Last.fm or stream on The Hype Machine. Losing those two websites would be tragic...
-
Yup, back to the dark ages.

That's such sad news! There's MixTurtle where you can find songs and build playlists by key words. It's not the same... but it's music!
