## What is Mixtape?

Remember making a mixtape for someone you cared about? Choosing every song with intention. Writing their name on the label. Waiting for them to press play.

Mixtape brings that feeling back.

Create a real mixtape — not a playlist, a gift. Pick songs from Apple Music, organize them on Side A and Side B, write personal liner notes, and generate one-of-a-kind AI artwork for the cover. Then send it to someone who matters.

They'll wait 24 hours for delivery. Just like waiting for a package in the mail. The anticipation is part of the gift.

MAKE IT PERSONAL
Every mixtape is made for one person. No followers, no algorithms, no public feeds. Just you, the songs you chose, and the person you're sending it to.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Pick your songs — Search millions of tracks on Apple Music
2. Fill both sides — Organize on Side A and Side B, just like a real cassette (45 minutes per side)
3. Make it yours — Generate AI cover art or upload your own. Write liner notes that say what the songs can't.
4. Send it — Your recipient gets notified and waits 24 hours for delivery

EARN YOUR STRIPES
Unlock badges as you create: Deep Cuts (5+ songs under 1M plays), Time Traveler (songs spanning 3+ decades), Perfect Balance (Side A and B within 30 seconds of each other), and more.

YOUR SHELF
Every mixtape you make or receive lives on your shelf. Play them back anytime with the full Side A / Side B experience, complete with cassette animations and warm retro design.
