With the sort-of demise of Muxtape, there has been no shortage of playlist tools hitting your local internet lately. I decided I just didn't care enough to try out all of them, but I was curious if any of you have tried any of the following:
- Tumbletape
Scans your tumblr blog for uploaded MP3s and makes an instant playlist out of them. - 8tracks
Looks pretty similar to Muxtape, but somehow with a worse name. - Playlist.com
Reminds me of imeem in terms of its whole "social" vibe. - Sonific
Shut down in May 2008 before I got a chance to really play around with it. - Favtape
Makes mixes based on songs you've tagged as a favorite in Pandora or Last.FM, and lets you make mixes based on a search. - The Hype Machine
Not really a "roll-your-own-playlist" tool per se, but rather a really bad-ass music blog aggregrator that lets you stream tunes that are being featured that day on a huge range of music blogs. Also lets you search by artist, tag favorites, etc. - Elbo.ws
Very similar to Hype Machine, but with a totally different name. - Meemix
Very similar to Pandora, but with a whole Facebook-esque social networking section (similar to imeem in that regard). More of an internet radio station in some ways than a playlist tool, but you can make playlists on it.
Did I miss any? Yes, undoubtedly tons. The real question is: are any of them worth checking out? You tell me.
