Reminds me of the first iteration of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muxtape

this was the shit when it came out. i wish i had taken screenshots - really admired muxtape (and a similar website.. i think it was called favstar?) for the incredibly clean UI and UX

There's an open source clone if you want to sate your nostalgia: http://opentape.fm/mixtape/

With a name like flirttape, how are you supposed to pretend you're just being casual?

You could: A) provide a disclaimer. "Hey, this isn't really a flirt tape, I just thought you would like these." OR B) stop being a nancy boy.

I made a tape and sent it to my wife right away, with a bunch of music that means a lot to us. It was a fantastic way to relive a lot of memories in a few minutes. Great idea, love it.

Awesome! Hope she likes it! Thanks

It’s pretty buggy on Firefox. When I first loaded the site, it kept trying to search for something even though the search box was empty. Then I reloaded the page and compiled and saved a mix tape ( http://flirttape.com/JRhANofRX9 ). But I couldn’t play any of the tracks with the player – no sound came out when playing, and clicking Next did nothing. Also, the Pause button that is the alternate of the Play button had…

nice idea! but be prepared for lawyers ... these guys send ugly letters with long numbers :/

Yes, he needs to add "no copyright intended" to protect himself.
