Muxtape Update

Exciting developments. Can’t wait to see what comes next.

muxtape:

Last night we released a major revision to Muxtape’s underlying software. It’s the product of three weeks of intensive development and represents an almost complete rewrite of the user interface, playback functionality, and backend song organization. Hopefully this morning you didn’t notice the difference, but the changes are significant. The site had been running on older code that wasn’t intended to evolve (dating back to its days as a simple UI experiment), but now we’re in a position to start expanding the functionality of Muxtape in a way we couldn’t before.

So while this is largely a release to set the stage for coming features, there’s still some immediate changes you might be interested in:

* favorites have been doubled to 24
* upload limit raised to 24 MB
* muxtapes now show who their creator has favorited
* links to individual songs in RSS will autoplay
* much better error recovery for broken streams
* support for Linux, Solaris and any Unix that runs Flash
* much increased reliability on all platforms
* many bug fixes as most the frontend code is brand new
* iPhone support temporarily halted (native app in the works ;)

Muxtape’s first full time developer starts tomorrow; July should be an exciting month!

I’m blogging over here.

In case you were wondering why the posting on minorjive.net has slowed down lately, I was first frantically building the site (w/the help of my fabulous web editor/producer and my other co-workers of awesomeness) and have then, since Wednesday, when the site went live, been blogging and dealing with site mainteance and little issues that have arisen in the course of nearly 10,000 site visits in the first 24 hours of operation. That was a long sentence for the internet, I know.

The real question is when am I going to find the time to post on my main blog about how I’m mainly blogging here these days? This is why I followed joelaz when I saw him call tumblr “the blogging tool for busy people.”
