Has anyone been to Muxtape.com?

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!

Username: "electricalaudioforums"
Password: "mouthbreather"

URL: http://electricalaudioforums.muxtape.com

The email account I gave to sign up was the EA gmail address.

I would be all over this, but sadly the forces of life have conspired to take all my music away from me

Yeah that does suck.

I've been looking into recovery services, but they all seem to be rather expensive.

I think I'll start a thread in the Tech Room about the problem. Maybe the combined genius of the PRF will be able to figgure out a solution.

I have just resigned to the fact it's gone forever, I'll just start over I suppose.
I still have my records

Fuck that! Never resign yourself to a failed hard drive...assuming that is the issue.
Is that the issue?

The cat knocked over my hard drive which contained what may very well be the greatest collection of music anywhere on the planet. 60,000 songs.
Now it don't work.

When I glanced at the title of this thread, I thought it was "The EA collaborative Muppets."

not to insult your intelligence, but have you determined that the problem is the hard drive itself and not the enclosure?
