Very smart how the developer (it's a one man op) is using mp3 metadata to drive users to Amazon, it's unobtrusive and adds value to the service. Also the fact that the player is run with javascript as opposed to flash is significant as it has better mobile support (im talking iphone here.) I've never used imeem but my cursory impression is that it is a much more full-featured social site. Muxtape wins simply by stripping everything away except the music.

I stumbled across imeem.com the other day...but I didn't realize what it could do. It does seem to be a good resource for music though. It's funny that you get called out about it right after that. I should have been watching your back, buddy. Weird. I stumbled across imeem.com the other day…but I didn’t realize what it could do. It does seem to be a good resource for music though.

Muxtape is not the first of its kind, though still very cool. I wasn't familiar with any of those other sites until now. Thanks for the comment. Alright, the record has been set straight.

I'm sure you're impressed by muxtape, but you should be aware that it's a latecomer to the field, we already have imeem, projectplaylist, finetune, sonific, boomshuffle, mixwit and now muxtape. You really need to take a look at imeem.com, it launched in 2004, has more than 20million users and is now basicly youtube for music. Upload anything you want, build playlists with anything on the site, and let imeem handle the royalty payments by displaying banner ads and throwing 50% of the revenue to the record labels. sure, muxtape has no ads, but its' going to have to pay for bandwidth, salaries and licensing eventually. a year ago the next big thing was the online mixtape, now muxtape is copying last years big story. nice music, seriously, just because I’m about to school you about the ‘innovation’ behind muxtape doesn’t mean I don’t respect your tune selection.
