The mix tape is reborn - roll your own for iPhone and iPod touch

Remember when it was okay to copy music without feeling like a felon? In fact, it was practically encouraged. How else do you explain the proliferation of the dual cassette tape deck? The very same device that became the catalyst from which a new art form sprung, the mix tape. Creating a good mix tape was like being a DJ, you had to choose just the right songs and put them in a certain order to evoke emotions for the moment. And a great mix tape creator knew that the right tape at the right time could control the entire vibe of a party. Maybe you weren’t old enough to buy the beer, but you could make or break the party because you were the king of mix tapes. Today, the spirit of the mix tape is born again at Muxtape, a free web site to create iPhone-friendly virtual mix tapes and share them with others.
