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