Kinda a shame, this is the last thing they need, muxtape really has its work cut out for it since it's trying to establish its mixtape service in a market where everyone else already has a 2-4 year headstart. imeem (launched 2004) and projectplaylist (2006) both let you do everything that muxtape lets you. Sure, they're not as clean, minimal, ad-free or as cool as muxtape, but they have 10-20 million users each compared to the hundred thousand or so muxtape can boast. There are also several other playlist/mixtape services which are playing catchup - mixwit, seeqpod (more a search engine with playlist support), finetune etc etc. Apparently it’s just gone even worse, the data center where their site hardware runs has just suffered a massive electrical explosion and thousands of other sites are down.
