Enthusiasts know the many virtues of the mix tape, which serves
most conventionally to turn friends and casual acquaintances onto a
bunch of your more obscure favorite bands, and less conventionally can
serve as great valentine's day gifts, themed soundtracks to listen
to in every specific mood (like Jack Nicholson has labeled and handy
in As Good As It Gets), or epic creations strung together to tell a
story.
In any case, Muxtape (http://muxtape.com/) is a web site that
gives users the ability to create digital mix tapes, and is aiming to
redefine the mix tape medium for the web 2.0 age. It's got a
beautiful clean design of boundless light Helvetica and blue-gray
glory. As it was founded just three month ago (as of the writing of
this node), its list of features is constantly growing, but in the
meantime you can browse other people's mix tape creations, check out
editors' picks, and tag your own favorites. I fell in love with the
site so much that I publish a weekly short mix tape on Muxtape for my
internet friends with a theme and great care to track sequencing for
optimized efficacy.
The word "muxtape" can also be used as a noun to refer to a digital mix tape created on this web site.
