POST YO MUXTAPE

tried to cover a lot of ground in 12 songs from punk to italo to lounge, etc.

Buzzkill moment: What's the over/under on number of days before muxtape.com is completely shut down and lost to history?

http://jordans.muxtape.com

the terms, conditions and limitations of the interface seem to put this well within the realm of fair use. if for any reason the riaa came to him he could just shut down an offending user's subdomain. you aren't sharing files, and you can't upload an album, and you're limited to 12 tracks. people will try to fuck with it and he can just pop the accounts.

a) (ex-)local bands i'm friends with
b) people i've befriended online and have given free publicity to

Muxtape's probably my favorite thing in the world right now, but streaming royalties are going to eat the site alive, I fear. xp

yah this shits not going to last for long

but lets go ahead and enjoy it anyway

http://j1mmy.muxtape.com

but streaming royalties are going to eat the site alive, I fear

hang on, are you saying that the people behind the site are actually paying for the tracks that are added to the mixes ?

im going to listen to all of these - it is my mission

No but interested parties will undoubtedly expect to be paid royalties for the music that's streaming on the site, don't you think?

http://idolator.com/372511/new-online-mixtape-site-hopes-that-it-doesnt-get-recorded-over-by-rights-issues

oh noes we crashed the server, and i wasn't done arranging things yet. :(

Ok, there it goes.

http://fluxion23.muxtape.com/

http://www.whineyg.muxtape.com/

I would probably not have a problem ponying up a figure between $5-15 a year to have this. Like Whiney said, when people ask what you're listening to, you can just point them to your muxtape page, and people can give it a listen without any annoying real-life/itunes/rapidshare bushwheat

ok i still can't figure out why some of my tracks won't play. format problem or something?

whiney just sold me on the Portishead comeback.

I'm afraid $5 to $15 a year wouldn't begin to cover it.

can someone point me to a thread or a remotely informative article about the streaming royalties deal?

Here's the thing Tom: there isn't one presently. It's because there isn't one that the site will be shut down since the folks behind it won't be able to play whack-a-mole on what's legal and what's not.

If you search any article related to Pandora or any other site that involves streaming royalties you'll find that these payments may crush streaming music as we know it.

oh right but it's all still in the works. ok just checking I didn't miss something

how and when does a major label decide to go after these guys?

i think that muxtape helped themselves by not posting any info about number of times any tape's been played, but that's just a charitable guess on my part. this site went from 0-60 in no time at all, so i'm guessing we'll find out sooner than later.

great muxes so far y'all

kelley polar.. who knew? (not me)

hasnt this site been up for like 2 days?

haha wow new accounts & uploads offline until they add more server space

haha wow new accounts & uploads offline until they add more server space inject more vc $$

lol i only have three songs so far cause uploading takes like ten minutes each but

http://bighoos.muxtape.com

Well, it might not take RIAA intervention if Muxtape gets a rep for being buggy.

ha

as soon as it goes back up i'm posting my all ghetto house muxtape

That might change, though

Mux is so much more fun with the increased file sizes. I put this metal themed together for a friend while bored at work:

muxtape never works for me

yeah shit is slow as fuck

yeah wldn't upload a few songs i wanted but heys
http://rrrobyn.muxtape.com/

http://jsimp.muxtape.com/

I'm using FF3 and can't get muxtape to work (and never could on earlier FF either). I have adblock and noscript installed, but have muxtape allowed in noscript, but still no joy. I get a little flash icon at the bottom of a mix page, but clicking on it doesn't get me anywhere. Is there something I'm missing?

there's something on the muxtape blog about the new version of firefox having problems. doesn't work at all with new opera, either, and i'm guessing nobody gives a shit at either opera or muxtape.

I hadn't ever looked at the blog, thanks.

From Jul 8th:

Adblock
We recently got a bug report that helped us determine that Adblock (a popular Firefox extension) has a tendency to interfere with Muxtape. If you’re having problems with Firefox and you have Adblock installed (even if it’s disabled) it just might be the culprit. We’ll try to figure out a workaround.

But sadly there's no follow-up yet.

updated mine wiv new goodies, link's in the 1st post o this mighty thread

Since I can't seem to get this to work for me (I'm not keen to remove adblock/no-script, or to try IE), how is it supposed to work, so that I know where to focus my frustrated clicking? The individual songs seem like they should be clickable, but then there's also this flash doohickey down at the bottom of the screen...

Weird, I use FF version 2.0.0.16 with Adblock Plus, and the it works fine with me. I haven't even disabled Adblock for the Muxtape site.

well, i can't listen to it buuut:

http://pinkether.muxtape.com/

again and again and again:
dutronc, blue rondos, sheridan & price, the cedars, charles lloyd, clapham junction, dry ice, serge franklin, jan panter, one in a million, american blues (pre-pre-zz top), danny mcculloch. i love the mcculloch tune, in fact, it's so chilled out. he was the bassist for the best period of the animals, the ridiculous pseudo-psych period, a left to do a mellow solo album.

I started out trying to make one for the "post your faves muxtape" thread but then I realized it was an impossible task and I'd end up leaving out too many songs, so here's my half-done, not-all-favourites one.

http://adverbs.muxtape.com/

a left to do a mellow solo album.

AND left... need more sleep.

I got inspired by the "Pure Moodz" thread on board 77, so I decided to do another Muxtape. I've always been intrigued by the idea of "authenticity" and "inauthenticity" in music, especially regarding "world music" genres, which some people seem to think are inexplicably tied to ethnicity. So I did a muxtape of songs which freely (ab)use musical ideas from other cultures: you have Finns doing reggae and bossa nova, Swiss imitating Afro-Cuban music, "traditional" music mixed with modern electronic sounds, Moroccan reggae, a Jamaican singer performing a pseudo-European tune, etc...

http://nexinexim.muxtape.com/

2. State of Bengal - Taki Naki

3. Sapho - Ya Habib

4. Herbie Hancock - Karabali

I've been updating mine weekly with songs from new releases, trying to provide a sampler of what I find vaguely interesting.

http://zaxxon25.muxtape.com/

UPDATED

http://tuomasa.muxtape.com/

Unitone Hifi - Herr Farma (Foxy Trotter Mix)
4:59 Buy this MP3

I update mine every month. Here: http://strawberryflats.muxtape.com/

New play list:
1) Moviola - Broken Horses (1997)
2) Cheater Slicks - Last Call (1999)
3) Wooden Wand & the Sky High Band - The Pusher (Live) (2006)
4) Souled American - Heywire (1989)
5) Neil Michael Hagerty - Rockslide (Live) (2003)
6) Flying Canyon - The Bull Who Knew the Ring (2006)
7) Grifters - Get Outta That Spaceship and Flight Like a Man (1994)
8) Meat Puppets - Dough-Rey-Mi (Live) (1988)
9) The USA Is a Monster - Empire (2001)
10) Warmer Milks - Patios Blues (2008)
11) Palace - Cat's Blues (1995)
12) Red Red Meat - Rosewood, Wax, Voltz + Glitter (1995)

http://nexinexim.muxtape.com/

I completely changed my other muxtape too, now it's a gayish disco/synth pop/electro mix.

1) Herbie Hancock - Tell Everybody
2) The J.B.'s - Rock Groove Machine
3) Patrick Cowley - Menergy (12" Version)
4) Yello - Vicious Games (12" Mix)
5) Bronski Beat - I Feel Love (Medley with Marc Almond)
6) Magazine 60 - Don Quichotte (Extended Version)
7) Rockers Revenge - Walking on Sunshine (12" Mix)
8) Nona Hendryx - Too Hot to Handle
9) Grace Jones - Driving Satisfaction
10) Planet Patrol - Don't Tell Me
11) Marc Almond - Jacky
12) Shakespear's Sister - Dirty Mind (E-Zee Remix)

I was kinda blown away by that J.B.'s tune when I got the record... The tune is from 1979, but it totally feels like proto-house, complete with a modulating synth squeal that sounds kinda like a 303. (Though obviously it can't be a 303, since it was only released three years later.)

re-up. (dubious bonus: me playing drums on track 11 with an indie-pop-dub band, 15 years or so ago.)

philip seymour hoffman "what's the buzz"
amandititita "la muy muy"
ida marie "louie"
myriam fares "ala khwana"'
peloquin sauvageau "l'hotel dieu"
pearl jam "animal"
down aka kilo "lean like a cholo"
three 6 mafia "lolli lolli"
enur feat. natasja "calabria 2007"
hugh masekela "jungle jim"
hypermarket u.s.a. "discipline"
the only ones "someone who cares"

It was only a matter of time. I wonder if it'll come back online anytime soon.

ahhh shit

have any clones of muxtape been started yet?

yeah i just uploaded a new mix at 8tracks.com/BMIML. it's a nice interface and was easy to use. better still, tech blog silicon alley insider says it's legal!

http://bestof2002.muxtape.com

Songs from some of my favorite albums of 2002 (which isn't the same thing as my favorite songs of 2002, though there's some overlap).

Ha, I didn't even see it was down. (I made the mix a couple days ago.)

Muxtape will be unavailable for a brief period while we sort out a problem with the RIAA.

meh.

what i wonder is, if they're bothering to go after pandora and muxtape, when comes the big crackdown on rapidshare/megaupload/etc? although maybe that's supposed to be handled at the front end by whatever filters the isp's are supposed to be working on.

http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20080923-muxtape-may-be-dead-but-it-lives-on-through-its-children.html

yeah, it's a shame none of the post-mux sites are really very good at cloning muxtape. can't the pirate bay start a mux-clone or something?

http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20080926-muxtape-reborn-as-showcase-for-bandskind-of-like-myspace.html

it's officially over. now it's just a useless embedded music player for bands, apparently. at least he's got the post-napster thing down: make something really cool that people want to use, get sued/threatened out of existence, change service to something of minor interest at best...

oh, wait, i think he forgot the "profit" part.

Oh well. I'm sure he could've successfully challenged the thing, but what random dude wants to fight that battle.

http://muxtape.com/

Wow, that's fascinating (and depressing). But I don't really get what Muxtape 2.0 will offer, that MySpace doesn't already provide.

seems like nothing, really, aside from not having "myspace" on the player.

see you guys back at this thread in a year or so when we're all misty about how great it was to actually be able to do this cool, fun thing on the internet before the breadheads ruined it all.

y'all know about the "remembers" thing, right?

I MISS U MUXTAPE

http://www.dustedmagazine.com/features/790

i had no fans :(

Reminds me of a little project I never finished, and should one day -- a mix of nothing but versions of "Waters of March / Águas de Março"

Incidentally, I did take a good running stab at this last week. I ended up just getting really sick of the song. Recreational hazards, I s'pose.

Actually, if you want to recommend me some better versions than the ones I gathered up, that would probably help.
