I was just coming here to post this.

I KNEW this was gonna happen.

Dammit, dammit, dammit.

I'm sad. I will seek solace in beer.

I am not too surprised. The RIAA doesn't get it.

I was just reading this too. The blog says it may not be permanent but well see.

oops, blog

Damn it! Just a day after I found this, too.
Damn damn damn.

Two days after I signed up.

I jinxed it.

Well, fuck me. I hope they can work something out that doesn't ruin it.

I don't think they're going to pull through. The immediate issue is that users have created ways to download songs without paying, but there's also the issue of MuxTape not paying royalties. Once any of these services get big enough they're going to have to pay publishing. The service they offer is way beyond a previewing experience, even though for me I've been turned onto a few good bands via MuxTape. Of all of the services where you could stream music, MuxTape was/is my fave. It has a sense of fun that the others don't quite capture. There's a very zen simplicity to the site that I really dug.

i was afraid this would happen a few days ago when it went down for a few hours.
This sucks, i'd quite incorporated it into my life and had another one ready to go.
GODDAMMIT.
