You had to see this one coming. Less than six months after becoming the hipster time-wasting destination of choice, popular music-sharing site Muxtape was suddenly offline on Monday. Fans of the site — which allowed users to assemble mixtape-like playlists online that were available for others to stream — were greeted by the message, "Muxtape will be unavailable for a brief period while we sort out a problem with the RIAA."

This is way to bad...
This was a nice site though I only used it 3 times,
I liked the concept of making a "cassette like" skin and creating a
Various Artist tape that suited your taste.

I hope they fight it, and if they open back up,I will be sure to support them.

Because the concept was no different than a internet radio station with
a playlist of VA's,and many of them are still operating...They shouldn't
be allowed to pick and choose who's on their "hit" list.

I use
Mixwit - Create and Share Digital Mixtapes

That's still going

As Nightfly says, I can't understand why they have been targeted by the RIAA.
It will be a shame if they have to close down, I can't see what they are doing wrong.
I have not used it a lot, but I have discovered some good new music on there.

It has been just over a month since Muxtape, a popular music site that let users share the online equivalent of cassette mixtapes, was shut down by the RIAA for copyright infringement issues.

Since then we’ve seen the site reborn in a few incarnations, including an Open Sourced version called OpenTape. Now Favtape, a basic music site that launched last July, is releasing an overhauled new version that has led developer Ryan Sit to appropriately call it “Muxtape on steroids”.
