Is your muxtape online?

I have shoeboxes full of ’em. Childhood memories on audio cassettes, invariably labeled ‘Various artists’ or ‘Fly shit’. Ah, the guilty pleasures of home dubbing. Apart from my skateboard and my Air Jordans, my tape collection was my capital growing up. NYC based photographer Justin Ouellette must have felt the same way and created muxtape.com, a social website for sharing mixtapes. There’s something for everyone – but may I suggest Rashaan? – so dig in. If this doesn’t generate music sales at Amazon.com, I dunno what will. Oh wait, I do: Amazon’s MP3 store is only available to US customers.

Check out Muxtape’s very democratic terms:

Muxtape is a service for creating mixtapes. Users may not upload multiple songs from the same album or artist, or songs they do not have permission to let Muxtape use. Individual users may not create multiple muxtapes. Accounts not meeting these restrictions are subject to termination without notice. Muxtape will never reveal your email address to a third party. Muxtape is alive.
