The mixtape is baaaaack! With Muxtape.com!

I twittered this yesterday, but I thought it was too cool not to blog it.

Remember the mixtape you used to make on your tape recorder? You can now do your own online version at muxtape.com. Sign up, upload up to 12 songs, and you're ready to share your "tape" with others. Great way to listen to new stuff too.

My muxtape is at mrbrown.muxtape.com.

The simplicity of the site is astounding as it is fun. Kudos to developer Justin Ouellette. Looks like the sign-ups are astounding in the last 24 hours of its existence. You can track muxtape developments at muxtape.tumblr.com.

Some useful undocumented shortcuts: Use the left and right arrow keys to move between tracks, and use "return" to pause and play.

Those coloured squares with usernames in them, are random muxtapes you may not have listened to yet.

You can now show people how musically hip you are and pretend the muxtape you spent hours putting together, was something you threw together casually, for fun.
