Simple mixtape sharing with Muxtape
New York City hipsters have struck again, bringing quick and easy mixtape sharing to the 'net at Muxtape.com. The site was built by Justin Ouellette, and early mixes have been uploaded by Jakob Lodwick (of Vimeo) and Patrick Moberg (of nygirlofmydreams.com fame). Muxtape is easy as pie: upload songs in mp3 format, drag and drop to organize, send the link to your friends. Muxtapes hold up to 12 songs in a nice minimal layout (LARGE TYPE! CLICK TO PLAY! CLICK AGAIN TO STOP!). You can't download songs directly from other people's Muxtapes, which keeps the focus on finding good new artists to support. Justin says RSS feeds and m4a support are already in the works, so Muxtape should just keep getting easier.

If you are looking for a local windows program that does this kind of thing but is a bit more advanced, one of the coders on our site wrote a program called "Mixtape Maker":

Maybe someone will find it useful.

But that re-encodes whatever it is you're recording. It's not a direct rip/download.

is hosting music files legal as long as they're not available for direct download? how do they get away with this?
