It's a website where you upload a series of up to 12 mp3s into a playlist which can then be listened to online.
Anyone can find your Muxtape by entering <yourusername>.muxtape.com into a Flash-enabled browser.
The interface is dead simple. To add a song to your playlist, you just click "upload a song" and then browse for the song in your computer's directory. It has to be an mp3 no larger than 10 MB. The song is then added to the beginning of your playlist.
After messing around with the website a bit, I figured a collaborative Muxtape "chain thread" might be fun. Here's how it'll work:
Everyone adds one song to the list. After you add your song, post an announcement in here.
When we reach the limit of 12 songs, instead of deleting the old ones you can just change the account password to something secret. Then the next person will start a new EA Muxtape account, adding a serial number to the name (like "electricalaudio001") and post the new username and password in here.
That way we can keep generating fresh Muxtapes, each with a different mood or theme.
So I've created an EA Forums Muxtape account and added one song:
Neptune - "The Lighthouse"
Now it's up to you to pick the song that will precede mine in the setlist.
Let's have fun and please, play nice; no rearranging the list, deleting others' songs or changing the password or settings of the account until 12 songs have accumulated!
