FfffoundTape

Posted by Dave | Filed under Music, Productivity, Technology

I’m not sure how long it will be around, but Fffoundtape looks like an interesting music sharing service that doesn’t actually move files.  It only “finds” them on the internet and then makes collections of the found files online.

I suspect this will draw the attention of the recording industry much like MuxTape did.

Should we take bets on how long it will survive?

(I’m giving them 8 months, although I hope it’s much longer.)

MuxTape no more?

Posted by Dave | Filed under Music

Apparently the music industry goons at the RIAA have caught up with Justin Ouellette at Muxtape and temporarily forced him to take down his very cool digital mix-tape service.

Muxtape provided a modern version of the cassette mix tape you traded with your friends 10-20 years ago.

I hope this is only temporary, but knowing the RIAA, it will be down for a while (if not forever).

(Thanks to Chris Denbow on Twitter for the heads up.)
