Muxtape works on iPhone

If you are a Web 2.0 fanatic (which, come on, who isn't these days?) then you probably know about Muxtape. For those of you who aren't religiously reading the latest Web application news at DownloadSquad, Muxtape is basically a way to share your personalized mp3 mixtape. Not only can you subscribe to the tape's RSS via iTunes, but it turns out that you can also listen to Muxtapes on your iPhone!

Just navigate over to the Muxtape page of your choosing and select a song. Mobile Safari will then load the file and begin to play it like normal mp3 audio. How cool is that?

Thanks for the info, Craig!

The problem with Muxtape is that they're distributing unprotected MP3s that anyone can download and keep.

Expect the RIAA to come knocking at some point.

You can't subscribe to a Muxtape in iTunes.

i'm not sitting an a computer w/ itunes on it (i'm at work) - but i believe you can subscribe to rss feeds in itunes.

just go to a muxtape you like, and click on the rss icon, grab the rss feed details (ie, http://usernamehere.muxtape.com/rss), and put the rss feed url into itunes.

this should work.

That's how it should work, but the MP3 files aren't included in the RSS feed, so all you get is text, and iTunes tells you it's not a valid podcast link. Too bad.

This is cool, but would be way better if it would stream songs.
In fact, does anyone know a site that streams music that works on the iphone?
