I could see this thing...shutdown ... or <I>skyrocket</I>! I could see this thing being toyed with by the RIAA types because it is pretty geeky and therefore pretty fringe, it's awkward and tedious to use and it is MP3s, not FLACs (threatens iTunes more than it does the CD industry) but because of all that it does really bias itself to back-catalog material, and because it is not whole albums (which is forbidden) it is like those sampler-discs the record stores used to give away in vinyl days (do they still? I haven't seriously been inside a CD store yet)<BR/><BR/>So this experiment could turn out to be very useful to them. The tracking data, the viral possibilities, the opportunity to break into the lucrative blogger/Facebook market (if Muxtape makes a widget app), it could be very good for them while, being arms-distance, saves their face from the embarrassment of admitting their prior misperception about song-sharing! :)<BR/><BR/>One can hope ...mrGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00582052332934960204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8053147.post-36232152477459736732008-04-08T08:33:00.000+01:002008-04-08T08:33:00.000+01:00Cool idea, can see it being shut down pretty damn ...Cool idea, can see it being shut down pretty damn quick 'though, what with being able to d/download the tracks and all.<BR/><BR/>heh -> ?PLEASE=DO_NOT_STEAL_MUSICshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04220497734508618993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8053147.post-24836749835740459112008-04-08T03:30:00.000+01:002008-04-08T03:30:00.000+01:00I like the site a lot.here's my mix: http://diskgo...I like the site a lot.<BR/>here's my mix: http://diskgolf.muxtape.com/diskgolfhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03358129954174080643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8053147.post-11009268110735163302008-04-05T03:44:00.000+01:002008-04-05T03:44:00.000+01:00thanks for the tape! mine is teledyn.muxtape.com b...thanks for the tape! mine is <A HREF="http://teledyn.muxtape.com" REL="nofollow">teledyn.muxtape.com</A> but how do you get it to stream?
