Remember when Indiecision told you about Muxtape termporarily closing down and you were like , “Awww, damn”? Well here’s the scene – it’s coming back, but not as a mixtape service.
What happened is the RIAA had a problem (obviously) with the service and therefore it was taken offline till Muxtape sorted it’s shit out. After said sorting of shit, Justin Ouellette, the owner of Muxtape, has announced, in a short story length post on the website, that the service will be back. Only, it wont be.
Muxtape is relaunching as a service exclusively for bands, offering an extremely powerful platform with unheard-of simplicity for artists to thrive on the internet. Musicians in 2008 without access to a full time web developer have few options when it comes to establishing themselves online, but their needs often revolve around a common set of problems. The new Muxtape will allow bands to upload their own music and offer an embeddable player that works anywhere on the web, in addition to the original muxtape format. Bands will be able to assemble an attractive profile with simple modules that enable optional functionality such as a calendar, photos, comments, downloads and sales, or anything else they need. The system has been built from the ground up to be extended infinitely and is wrapped in a template system that will be open to CSS designers. There will be more details soon. The beta is still private at the moment, but that will change in the coming weeks.
So there goes your shot at impressing girls then. If you have a website though, try Opentape.
