Tumblr MP3 Player
One of the most frequently mentioned gripes with Tumblr’s audio post functionality is the lack of a continuous playlist of audio posts. Various people have attempted to hack workarounds (myself included, with limited success), but none come close to what Dan Kantor has managed.
In his post he introduces the Streampad-powered Tumblr MP3 player, and it couldn’t be easier to get up and running. You can also see it in action, stuck to the bottom of your browser, when you’re on his site. If that isn’t a perfect solution to a problem (in lieu of an official solution, one would presume), I don’t know what is.
I exchanged a few e-mails with Dan, and he made sure to mention that this is new stuff, and if you spot any bugs, or have any feedback at all, let him know in the comment field of the above-linked blog entry.
This probably goes without saying, but expect to see this on Tuneage soon.

Okay, this looks pretty sweet!
Favtape.com
A Muxtape inspired site that automatically creates a playlist of your favorite songs from Last.fm or Pandora without the need to upload MP3’s. Here are my latest Last.fm favorites. Interestingly, this site is not only easier to update than Muxtape, but it’s also less likely to come under legal scrutiny since they don’t host music files.

It’s a nice idea, but I’d recommend checking your songs before you publish them. Of my 10 tracks, three were wrong. One embarrasingly so.
Saves The Day - Sell My Old Clothes, I’m Off To Heaven is an acoustic version. (Okay, not wrong, but it’s not the version I know and love).
Chicks - Let Me Go seems to be a (I assume) Dixie Chicks live song (seriously).
Hundred Reasons - My Sympathy is some weird dance song sampling the Rolling Stones’ Sympathy For The Devil.
Like I said, it’s a nice idea but it seems far from perfect.
Last.fm has had a redesign
Whoa! I just logged in to last.fm and they’ve redesigned everything.
My first impression is that I like it.
