Posted: March 31st, 2008, by Ollie

The internet in “bloody good idea actually” shocker. Muxtape allows you to upload songs you like to make an online mixtape, which can be shared with friend and foe alike. Check out mine, and post your own.

    Wow, that does actually look both useful and fun! Well done internets.

    Do I have to create an account to listen to the tunes, or am I being stupid?

    Nah you should be able to listen without signing up, just click on the track.

    Other people should make some too! You can keep up to 12 as favourites, I have a few but could do with more.

    Jesus, why is the text so massive? Is that just a weird Firefox thing?

    It’s called DESIGN, Stuart.

    Well done Simon. I wonder what the longest playlist you could make would be, considering the 10mb file limit.

    8 hours, 43 minutes and 38 seconds, if you encode at a constant bit rate of 32kbps. Each of the 12 tracks is 43 minutes long.

    Helpful advice from a friend:

    “I havent had a chance to make one yet, but i have discovered how to download the tracks (on a mac). if you go into the ‘window’ option on safari and then click activities you see all the mp3s you have downloaded. you can then alt + click the file to download it like you would any other song. Win!”
