The mixtape is the natural domain of the Word massive, it would appear. Hardly a thread goes by without someone recalling the joys of the C90 way back when.

I didn't hear about Muxtape until after it had expired, but I came across 8tracks http://8tracks.com a little while ago - it allows you to make virtual mixtapes. You can either upload your own MP3s [and AACs for those of us who are in thrall to iTunes] or choose from the songs that others have put up. There's a minimum of 8 tracks in a mix and a maximum of 2 songs by the same artist. It's totally free and all seems to be legal.

It's only just getting off the ground, and much of the material at the minute is landfill indie, over-worthy singer songwriters and undanceable dance music, but the more who join and upload stuff the wider the selection will be, so we can all inflict our *fabulous* taste on others. I started a "50 Songs, 50 States" mix after seeing the thread of the same name on the Word site. Have a look at http://8tracks.com/magneticfields/50-states-50-songs .

And no, I'm nothing to do with the site, I just like it and want to spread the word. It is remarkably addictive, though, so may not be up your boss's street.
