Mixtape

Tell it a moment. It makes the playlist.

Describe what you want to hear in your own words. Mixtape builds it from music you actually listen to, and saves it to your Apple Music library.

Say it however you like

A moment, a mood, an artist, a genre, a decade, a language, or the thing you are about to do. If you can describe it, it is a request Mixtape can take.

Built around your taste

Mixtape reads what you already listen to. Ask for a rainy evening and you get your artists, not a mood playlist that could belong to anybody. Every mixtape arrives complete, and you can play any song from it, thirty seconds at a time, before you decide to keep it.

Every tape looks like itself

Saved mixtapes become real playlists in your library, each with its own cassette. No two are alike.

No subscription

Making playlists is free and unlimited. Keeping one costs a tape. Tapes are bought once and never expire, nothing renews, and nothing is taken away if you stop.

An Apple Music subscription is required to save playlists to your library.

Questions

Does Mixtape need an Apple Music subscription?

Yes, to save playlists. Saving writes a real playlist into your Apple Music library, which needs a subscription. You can still make mixtapes and play thirty second previews without one.

Is Mixtape a subscription?

No. Making playlists is free and unlimited. Keeping one costs a tape. Tapes are bought once and never expire, nothing renews, and nothing is taken away if you stop.

What is a tape?

A tape is what it costs to keep a mixtape. One tape saves one mixtape into your Apple Music library as a real playlist. Tapes are one-time purchases in packs of 10, 25 or 50.

What can I ask for?

A moment, a mood, an artist, a genre, a decade, a language, or something you are about to do. Things that work: monsoon evening on the balcony, shoegaze but gentle, like Fleetwood Mac, 90s Bollywood drive.

Can Siri make a mixtape?

Yes. Say “Make a playlist with Mixtape”. Siri asks what you want to hear, builds the playlist and starts playing it without opening the app.

Does it work on iPad?

Yes. Mixtape runs on iPhone and iPad, on iOS 26 and later.
