## What is Mix Tape?

Remember making mix tapes? Picking the perfect songs, fitting them onto side A and side B, and writing the name on the label by hand? Mix Tape brings it all back, using the songs in Apple Music.

NAME IT, THEN TAPE IT
Every tape starts with a name, written on the cassette label in handwriting. Add a dedication like "for Sam, love Alex", then choose a felt-tip, biro or pencil and an ink colour. Dress it in one of 25 cassette skins: classic colours, genres from rock to country and hip-hop, the 60s through the 2000s, Christmas, Halloween and Valentine's, or a clear, glitter or gold finish, each with its own artwork. Pick a C60, C90 or C120 tape and watch how much time is left on each side as you record.

RECORD FROM APPLE MUSIC
Press the red REC key and search Apple Music: results appear as you type, with album covers so you pick the right version. Drop songs onto side A or side B. Reorder them, swap them around, or flip the tape and keep going on the other side.

PLAY IT ON A BOOM BOX
Your tape plays on a row of chunky silver keys: REC, PLAY, REW, F.FWD, STOP/EJ and PAUSE. Keys clunk and latch down, the reels turn as the tape winds from one spool to the other, and every side starts with a few seconds of tape hiss. Tap any song to fast-forward straight to it. When a side ends, eject it, turn it over and play side B.

SHARE THE J-CARD
Every tape gets its own J-card, the paper insert listing every song in your handwriting. Share it with friends or save it to Photos.

YOUR TAPE BOX
Keep your tapes stacked spine-out in a cardboard tape box, or browse them as a simple list. Tap a tape to see its J-card and open it to play.

SAVE TO YOUR LIBRARY
Save any tape to your Apple Music library as a playlist. Change the tape later and update the playlist with one tap.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your tapes stay on your iPhone. No accounts, no ads and no tracking.

An Apple Music subscription is required to play songs.
