A2 · The problem
Sharing music is broken.
Links that go nowhere.
You send a link to a song. It opens the wrong app, plays a few seconds or never gets tapped. The moment's gone.
Playlists with no why.
Forty songs in a list with no context, and no idea why they should matter.
Algorithms serving background noise.
Feeds built to keep something playing, not to help you find a song you'll love.
Don't just send a song. Say why.
A3 · This is a Mixtape
Every song has a story. Share both.
A Mixtape is one post that holds your songs, artwork that looks like you, and a voice note that tells the story.
- Songs. Everyone hears a 30-second clip of each; connect Apple Music to hear them in full.
- Your artwork. The cover is yours, on a cassette in your colors.
- Your voice. The why behind the songs, in your own words.
Anyone can listen: the story in full and a clip of every song. Connect Apple Music for full songs.
A4 · How it works
Three steps to your first Mixtape.
Get the app. It's free.
Browse the feed, play the voice notes and hear a clip of every song. No account needed.
Build your Mixtape.
Make a free account, then pick your songs, add artwork and record your story. No subscription needed.
Post and share.
Post it to the Mixtape feed, then share it to your Instagram Story or anywhere else with a link.
Want full songs?
Connect Apple Music or start a free trial in the app, and every song plays in full. It's optional: Mixtape works with Apple Music, and without it you still get everything else.
A5 · The difference
More than a clip.
Share a song on most social apps and your friends hear a few seconds behind someone else's video. On Mixtape the song comes with the story, and it plays right in the feed.
A song clip on social
- A few seconds, behind someone else's video
- Tap out to another app to hear the rest
- No word on why they shared it
- Isn't a stream
A song on Mixtape
- Comes with the story, in the sharer's own voice
- Plays right in the feed
- You hear why it matters to them
- With Apple MusicThe whole song, as a real stream that pays the artist
Everyone hears the story and a clip of every song. Connect Apple Music and every full song you play is a real stream, so the artist gets paid.

B2 · Friends of Mixtape
Mixed with good company.
Mixtape has all the right nostalgic feels. Can't wait to publish one of my own!
Love it! This will be great for our local music scene and creating mixtapes for everyone in the community to enjoy!
This will connect people through the love of music... Music brings people together!
Mixtape allows us to feel a brand in an entirely new way. Sound is powerful, and it's never been harnessed like this before!
I predict that Mixtape will bring community without division. Nothing brings people together like music!
