I just launched this with a buddy of mine. Its obviously inspired by Muxtape. Any feedback or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Very nice. Works as advertised.
I like how I can easily listen to an actual friend's music instead of clicking through random muxtapes hoping to find someone with similar taste.
Great idea / execution.

Very elegant. It's like the soundtrack to my, um, friends' lives.
Little fold-outs that reveal the text that accompanied each post/mp3 would be handy. Also, being able to save tumbltapes to a favourites list would be nice.
A couple of little bugs. First, it had the same track three times in the playlist, possibly because of multiple edits to a single post. Second, it didn't do a perfect job on extracting the band and track names on some of the songs. Both these bugs are demonstrated here: http://www.tumbltape.com/audiographical
Really good work.

Thanks for the bug report. It actually looks like those are 3 separate posts, at least thats how tumblr's API is treating it.
As far as song names, its really tough to extract them, since people actually write content about the audio and its not always as straight forward as artist - track name. We make our best guess, but you can specify a title and track name using our tagging system. On the tumblr post, hit "advanced" and add a tag in this format "tt:artist - track name". That will take privilege over the text guess.
Thanks again. We really appreciate the feedback.

A second thought... We have considered setting up a favorite list. The biggest issue is you need an account. Is that something you would be willing to create an account for?
Looks like it's down for me.
I don't think we have seen any down time yet. All systems look alright at the time of writing and have been stable throughout the day. Try it again. Thanks!
Ah you're right - must have been my network. This is some good stuff!
Recipe for success
1- Followed link, 2- Like the UI and click on random thumbnail, 3- Started to listen, like the music. 4- Oops I have been listening for the last 15 minutes, Nice Nice.
I would have chosen a different name. What happens when you start to aggregate other services. You could be the FF of MP3s.
