EAR FARM’s Muxtape #22: In Memoriam - Muxtape

This week has seen the passing of a friend as we’ve all had to come to grips with Muxtape being shut down indefinitely by the RIAA. The statement on Muxtape’s site reads: “Muxtape will be unavailable for a brief period while we sort out a problem with the RIAA.”

While we all knew it was likely coming, it’s not like we were prepared for it. The end of the good times, the Muxtape times. OH MUXTAPE I HARDLY KNEW YOU.

In honor of Muxtape we’ve put together a twelve song mix of 100% free and legal songs that (hopefully) express our sadness, our grief, and our ennui now that we’ve no longer got Muxtape to keep us company. You can click on each song below to listen or download, you’ll have to import each song into your own audio player to listen to the full mix in its entirety. What does the future hold for Muxtape, for EAR FARM’s weekly mixes now that there is no Muxtape? It remains to be seen. For now, all we’ve got is the mix below and our memories.

A Muxtape was a simple way to create and share mixtapes. We create and share a brand new mix each week on Friday morning, regardless of whether or not Muxtape is alive and working. Check out all of the EAR FARM Weekly Mixes HERE.

as a huge smashing pumpkins fan, i was initially hesitant to enjoy Amy Miriello’s version, but it delivered, and i thank you for posting it.

Muxtape isn’t dead yet, they have a very good chance of working things. Their intentions have always been good we personally think they meant no harm. Please show your support by spreading the word about SaveMuxtape.com

Well, this is all about where Copyright will be going, imho. You may be interested in my video on “The Future of Copyright” which I think is a good fit with the Muxtape debate: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0AVbMJuzJY Cheers Gerd Leonhard Media Futurist, Author of Music 2.0
