HypeTape is a new site that combines the simple streaming-playlist abilities of the old MuxTape with the music discovery powers of The Hype Machine. In case you're not familiar, The Hype Machine indexes posts from top music blogs, allowing you to find and read about new music with ease. Although HypeTape doesn't actually use Hype Machine search results, and isn't affiliated with either Muxtape ...

I've lost count of the times new audio playlist sites have popped up and been compared to the heyday of Muxtape. Comparisons are inevitable, though, when we talk about the latest -- and possibly the greatest -- in a long chain of mixtape sites that never quite seem to catch on: Mixtape.me. It grabs music from around the web, notably from Seeqpod, and does a great job of letting you make and browse ...

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 ...

I have fond memories of Muxtape, which briefly reigned last year as the online music sharing method of choice for hipsters everywhere. Well, Muxtape is finally back, after shutting down for a while due to problems landing an affordable licensing deal for the music that was getting passed around on the service. It's a different kind of service now, although the interface looks the same. Now ...

If you're a fan of the breakout mixtape-sharing service Muxtape, you've probably noticed that they've been down for a while, dealing with a complaint from the RIAA. Who knows how long that could take, or whether they're even going to be back up at all? What's a mixtape lover to do? Well, some ingenious Muxtape fans have cooked up an open source solution for hosting your own mixes, using an ...

Online music sites Pandora and Last.fm do a great job of providing you with streaming music you might like based on your listening history. But what they don't do a great job of us letting you listen to any song you want at any time. That's because music labels actually want you to do things like you know, go out and buy the songs. But in this new information age, practically any song you could ...

Muxtape is a great site for creating web-based "mix tapes" which you can share with your friends. Just upload a few songs, put them in order, and send the link to your friends, family members, and enemies. Anyone can listen to your songs, but there's no (easy) way to download the music. There's just one problem: There's no way to search Muxtapes, which seriously limits the site's utility. Enter ...

Muxtape, the popular online mixtape service we wrote about earlier this year, appears to have been hacked today. Every song on every Muxtape has been replaced by, "Aim (with Stephen Jones) - Good Disease [Babybird does a Prince thing]." Users can't delete the track from their mixes, and (in our professional opinions) the song isn't even very good. An update was just posted to the Muxtape blog. No ...

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 ...
