No artists or labels have complained. The site is not closed indefinitely. Stay tuned.
Beta users of Muxtape For Bands: you are unaffected by this outage.
The site underwent a small, but significant design change today. We’ve been hard at work on the Muxtape Discovery Engine, part of which involves interface elements that will exist in the grey bar you now see at the top. The recommendation feature isn’t quite ready (we want to get it right first), but we’ve been enjoying the use of the “next” control to load a random muxtape so much that we wanted to make it available right now. It’s an extremely quick way to see something new without going back to the home page (and draws from a larger pool).

Is catching someone changing their Muxtape sort of like catching them changing?
Yes, it is. We should probably address that.
We recently got a bug report that helped us determine that Adblock (a popular Firefox extension) has a tendency to interfere with Muxtape. If you’re having problems with Firefox and you have Adblock installed (even if it’s disabled) it just might be the culprit. We’ll try to figure out a workaround.
