The web is full of things to waste your time with, and here are two timewasters for musiclovers. Both do almost the same thing, - make virtual mixtapes out of the music you love. I want you to make one, and post the link in a comment to this post, or send it to us by email (info@eardrumsmusic.com). We’ll comment on it or maybe give it a special post if we like it a lot. No prizes involved, - just do it for fun!

You can use one of these services:

MIXWIT: Make your tape by using Mixwit’s searchengines or add a url to the song. Make a nice design for the cassette (you may do it easy, using the templates, or make your own design). Then, when it’s finished, send it to us. It’s very easy, and I had no problems finding the songs I wanted, except for some Norwegian ones that I would love to have included (f.i. some songs from Thom Hell’s new album). Mixwit tapes can be sent to friends via email or via any (almost) social services, like facebook or myspace.
In about 20 minutes, I made this Mixwit Mixtape. (or just look below in this post)

MUXTAPE: Or you can use Muxtape.com, a service that is probably easier to use because you can upload songs from your own computer, but more boring to look at (they’ll give you just the mix, not the “tape”). This is the most popular of the two, much helped by a post from the Boing!Boing!-blog. I haven’t made one here yet, so you will probably beat me if you post your tape here in the coming days. Mixes from Muxtape can be added to your blog, your website, facebook, myspace, sent to friends via email or added to your iPhone. Support for last.fm will also come soon.

So, come on: MAKE US A MUXTAPE or A MIXWIT!

Here’s the Eardrums Mixwit mixtape:
