Muxtape, which vanished from the Web a month ago, is back and relaunching as an exclusive service for bands, said its founder. Justin Ouellette told of Muxtape's demise and rebirth in a letter posted to his Web site.
Bands will be allowed to upload their music and offer an embeddable player that works anywhere on the Web. Bands, according to Ouellette, will be able to assemble a profile that includes calendar, photos and comments, downloads and sales.
