I think part of the success of Muxtape is its simplicity (or limited nature) convinces people to take a small amount of time to upload some tracks. It just felt like it had a low barrier to entry. Muxtape doesn't try to be a whole lot. It's not a burgeoning social network, it's not a music repository, it doesn't even have a lot of features (at least not yet). I may speak for others when I say I didn't feel like I was getting involved in a community when I was making my Muxtape. All I wanted to do was upload some songs I like and share them to my friends and readers. I liked the challenge of the 12-song limitation too. @MaxiManny - I can understand where you’re coming from.

Just a heads up, there's another site - imeem.com - which has been letting people make online mixtapes (playlists) for the last couple of years, I don't know what all the fuss is about muxtape because everything good about it (uploading & sharing mixes) has been copied from imeem.com. The popularity of muxtape perplexes me, imeem has it beat in every single way, you can upload just about anything and make playlists from just about anything. There are something like 20million imeem users, but instead the blogosphere is getting excited about a minimalist clone. Seriously, check out imeem.com and you'll wonder why everyone is getting excited about muxtape. Some classic tunes there….
