Go Playlist-Crazy at MixTape.me

March 20th, 2009, 7 comments

Lifehacker's lead editor Adam Pash launches his "pet project" MixTape.me today, a slick web-based music player where you can find tunes, listen to, create, and share playlists, get lyrics, artist bios, and music videos all inside a browser tab.

I'm not sure what astounds me most about MixTape.me: that this is Adam's first major web development undertaking, or that he found the time to build something so mature and addictive outside of a demanding dayjob. After all our blustery hand-waving about being productive, teaching yourself new skills, and making things you care about at Lifehacker, this guy is truly walking the talk. Congratulations, Adam! Check out MixTape.me, and see what fun I've been having there with my playlists.

Update: Check out a playlist of mine that's gotten a few favorites and comments after the jump.

Watch live games as they happen or completed games full-screen in HD on your Mac using the plug-in (which is a good way to watch two games at the same time--one on your computer and one on your TV).

To get the plug-in, run Plex, and install it from the App Store. Then go to the "Watch My Videos" section and you'll see "March Madness" listed there.

Here's what this afternoon's selection of games looked like:
