Mixwit vs Muxtape

I think we’ve posted about Muxtape before – it’s a mixtape site that allows you to upload 12 tracks and save them as your own mixtape that others can listen to. Mixwit does a similar thing but you don’t have to upload the songs, it searches for online versions of the songs and streams them directly. I’ve done a very quick grompilation using not overly obscure tracks but not particularly common ones – some odd things – you can’t change your username, some tracks are correct but show as unknown artist/track eg: track one is Negativland’s ‘Nesbitt’s Lime Soda’ – a very obscure track which was found but without ID3 tags (I presume). I’ll definitely play more with this and if any wishes, I’m happy to make a regular feature of dropping a new tape to you all every so often (nb. this tape is just a bunch of tracks on my current playlist – very random but not totally representative of my tastes).
I’m liking mixwit a lot but there’s a few tweaks I’d like to be made – it took me a while to find out how to change my username, you can’t see tracklistings and to see the track name (as well as FFwd/Rew/skip to next etc) you have to mouse over the tape window but these are minor issues.
