Pick your trip, your genres, and the mood of the drive — or roll the dice for a fresh idea. 2. Trip Tunes digs beyond your usual playlists for local artists, hidden gems, and familiar favorites inspired by the places you’ll pass through. 3. Preview every track, see how featured artists connect to your route, and trim anything that doesn’t fit. 4. Save your finished mixtape locally or in Apple Music, then share it with friends — no blank tape required! New — B-Sides: flip your tape case to a community wall of mixtapes made by fellow travelers for their own road trips. Dub any of them to your library for free, or share your own. You’ll also get free gift tapes from Trip Tunes from time to time — surprise mixes you can open and enjoy instantly. You start with a few blank tapes, each good for one playlist. Once they’re gone, you can grab more via in-app purchase. Heads-up: For the full experience, you’ll need an Apple Music subscription.

Your tunes, of course! (The car is the most important part, for those wondering) Trip Tunes does a phenomenal job of finding the right tunes with just a few taps - so great! And that icon is so great! ### 5/5 — 🦄🦄Hi🦄🦄 *2024-11-22, version 1.3* 🐷🐷my dad made this app 🦋🦋🦋 it is really cool to get to help make it 🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠 ### 5/5 — 💗🌸💗🌸💗🌸💗🌸💗🌸💗🌸💗🌸💗🌸🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥 *2024-10-17* My dad made this app! Just one thing LP76 why did you only give my dad three stars?!?!?!??!?!??????!?!?!??! Also my dad might make another app soon! Also LP76 at least trip tunes does not have adds. ### 5/5 — Makes long trips a little more fun *2024-09-30, version 1.2* Love using this app. We enjoy the songs and trying to figure out why a song was chosen on a given trip. ### 5/5 — 💗🌸💗🌸💗🌸💗🌸💗🌸💗🌸💗🌸💗🌸🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥 *2024-08-22* My dad made this app and it’s on TV!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ### 3/5 — Liked it but had some trouble 😢 *2024-07-26, version 1.1* I created one free playlist and exported to Apple Music. Went to Apple Music and enjoyed listening to it. When I went back in a few hours later to share it I couldn't find it anymore. Went back in to the app and there is no way to re-export it or even edit it at all. I'm sad to say I removed it from my phone. I couldn't even get to a settings screen or anything like that to do some more exploring or troubleshooting. ### 4/5 — UPDATE: Great idea, Responsive Dev *2024-06-05, version 1.0* Nice idea, had initial issues with in-app purchases but the developer thoughtfully responded: in retrospect, the purchase scheme does make sense. Servers and time cost $! Thanks for the response, best wishes and I’ll now reconsider supporting the project. ### 5/5 — the best *2024-06-02* this is the best app ever🩷❤️🩷❤️ ### 5/5 — Time saver *2024-05-27, version 1.0* Saved me a lot of time by pulling together the perfect playlist for my road trip! I think I might use it for an upcoming party I have planned, too. ## Frequently asked questions about Trip Tunes ### What does Trip Tunes do?
