Ffffoundtape is the new Muxtape, Ffffound-style
The photo-bookmarking and discovery site Ffffound still has of the most sought-after invitations online, and it's been around for quite a while. Now there's a sister-site called Ffffoundtape that's trying to apply the Ffffound approach in the world of mp3s. To add an mp3 to Fffoundtape, you can either enter its URL at the site or grab a bookmarklet and click it when your browser is open to an mp3 file.
So far, most of the stuff shared looks to be from popular Mp3 blogs like the ones indexed by The Hype Machine. The thriving mp3-blogger community gives Ffffoundtape a strong base to work from, and since there's no searching, uploading or downloading, it might stick around longer than its predecessors, like Muxtape and Favtape. It's still up to the sites hosting the mp3s to take them down in a reasonable amount of time, so Ffffoundtape should be in the clear. It isn't the easiest thing to use, though. The bookmarklet didn't work on the first try, and you have to enter the song information by hand regardless of whether you use the bookmarklet method or paste the link.

And this will lead to webmasters blocking ffffound website because it leeches bandwidth.

I have tried everything I can think of to get an invite to ffffound (the original), without success. If anybody can help, I would be deeply appreciative.
