- This week Grooveshark launched embeddable playlist widgets (pictured left) for users to post to over thirty different sites including MySpace, Blogs, etc.
- You can also email the digital mixtape to a friend or yourself in a one song format (pictured right) or as many as 2000.
- Very interesting to see another startup enter into the mixtape scene, as we have seen Muxtape shut down by the RIAA and OpenTape, FavTape, and Tumbltape copycats.
- In the past year, Groovershark has grown from 15K uniques a month to now 110K. How long before they will start showing up on the RIAA’s radar?

- Tumbltape grabs MP3s you’ve uploaded onto a Tumblr blog and auto-generates a playlist with a unique URL that can be shared.
- Automatically updates your playlist as you add new songs.
- Similar to Muxtape, a service that created a playlist from MP3s you uploaded to the site. It was shut down by the RIAA.
How long will tumbltape survive?

- Opentape is a new, open source version of Muxtape.
- This time, the liability is placed directly on the person that posts, not the site.
- Another disadvantage of OpenTape is the inability to search other people’s mixtapes.
- An advantage is that offshore servers make it possible to circumvent most legal and copyright issues with the Recording Industry Association of America.
