## What is The?

Discover music through people, not algorithms. The Cassette is a quiet, chronological curation network for sharing songs with short notes and direct links to listen.

Share a track, add an optional short note, and build a personal archive of music you care about. Follow people whose taste you trust, browse a chronological feed, or discover recommendations globally without likes, comments, follower counts, or algorithmic ranking.

The app is designed to get out of the way: discover a track, open it in your preferred music app, and listen there.

Features:

Share music links from Spotify, Apple Music, SoundCloud, TIDAL, YouTube Music, Bandcamp, and more
Create short music recommendations with optional notes
Browse a chronological feed with no likes, comments, or public metrics
Follow curators and explore their music archive
Search users, songs, and artists
Open tracks directly in supported music apps or browser
Light and dark mode support
Account deletion available inside the app
The Cassette is for people who still believe recommendations are better when they come from humans.
