Mix tapes and mashups made easy. Easy to import the tracks you already know and love by drag dropping from iTunes. Easy because beat matching is built in, accurate and works even with music that has slight changes in tempo. Easy to publish mixes onto iTunes, your iPod, the Internet or share between friends. Easy to play live.

A review of three streaming music services (mixtape.me, 8tracks, Grooveshark) that let you create a playlist online and share it with friends.

"Hypetape is the illegitimate lovechild of Hype Machine* and Muxtape, where you can create and share playlists containing tracks other people have been talking about from around the internet."

Similar to Seeqpod, Mixtape.me "grabs music from around the web, notably from Seeqpod, and does a great job of letting you make and browse playlists in an environment reminiscent of desktop music players. You don't need an account to create a Quick Playlist on mixtape.me. You can just start adding tracks from searches and other people's playlists. Registering an account lets you add (but not upload) mp3s and save your playlists. There are also a lot of extra touches, like grabbing song info, lyrics and album artwork automatically. You can also share your playlists easily, even with friends who aren't signed up with Mixtape.me." [downloadsquad]

"Similiar to Seeqpod and Songza, Just Hear It offers registered and unregistered users alike a seamless interface for song search and playlist creation, all from within the browser. Just Hear It claims to be completely legal, following DMCA guidelines, and paying royalties to all of the major performing-rights organizations, like ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC. In the future, Just Hear It aims to negotiate licenses to share revenue with labels. Currently, much of the music actually seems to come from YouTubeYouTube reviewsYouTube reviews - much like another site we recently reviewed, StreamDrag." - Mashable

"Muxtape is also really cool," Sit explained, "but you need to manually upload the MP3s, which makes it a drag to create a muxtape and update it." FavTape solves both problems by grabbing song URLs from SeeqPod to power an on-demand service that creates Muxtape-like web page mixtapes out of your Pandora or Last.fm favorites.

Seeqpod offers a fast way too search for mp3's, and videos for any artist. Add what you like from the results to a playlist that you play, save and share.
