Via Soul Sides, I found out about Muxtape, a new site that allows you to upload MP3s and then create a mixtape online.
A CNET article examined the legality of the service, which apparently is relying on a “hosting on behalf of users” copyright infringement defense. Here’s an interview with Justin Ouellette, the man who created Muxtape.
True confession: I made more than my fair share of mixtapes in the Eighties, although I can’t remember the last time I did so. Maybe Muxtape is a good thing, although it only lets you load 12 songs and doesn’t have liner notes.
Anyway, I’ve created my first Muxtape based on an idea I’ve had for a while to re-create Jay-Z’s The Black Album using remixes. I fell two tracks short of the whole album, but you get the idea.

Bill Higgins-- Beam Jockey Says:
“MUX” is “multiplexer” in electronics jargon. I suppose “muxtape” would indicate a tape that plays several different tunes simultaneously. Or something.
