The blogging world is going crazy over muxtape, this disappoints me because…
10 reasons why muxtape doesn’t deserve the response it’s getting
- It’s not a new idea, imeem and projectplaylist have been doing this for over 2 years
- It’s not legal, so it will get sued, things will change, your beatles tracks will get nuked from storage, you might even share some legal liability
- imeem is legal and it’s making sure artists are getting paid, you might think you’re supporting your favorit artists by making a muxtape to promote them. but if you made the same mix at imeem then you’d be promoting them and getting them some extra cash.
- 1 mix per account? WTF
- 12 tracks per mix Limit
- No tracks longer than 10mb, only mainstream pop/rock records fit into 10mb, no epic rock operas or 15 minute jazz odysseys
- mp3 only, other sites have solved this
- other sites let you embed the mix on other pages, muxtape lets you put a link that takes users to the muxtape site
- Other sites let you use tunes uploaded by other users, with muxtape you have to upload your own copy regardless
- it frequently fails to work on firefox.
muxtape is for schmux
