Make someone a mixtape.

A boombox on your computer, a walkman on your phone. Record what's playing, write the song list on the J-card, and mail the tape as a link.

Your phone is the walkman. Pick songs saved on it, or hold it near a speaker, and it tapes them. Write the J-card and mail the tape as a link.

How a tape gets made

Record it.

  1. Pick a blank tape: 46, 60 or 90 minutes.
  2. Plug in what's playing. On a computer, share a browser tab's sound. On a phone, pick songs saved on it or hold it near the speaker.
  3. Press REC. PAUSE between songs.

Mail it.

  1. Write the song list on the J-card.
  2. Mail it. You get a link and a QR code.
  3. Your friend opens it and presses PLAY.

On your phone, it's a walkman.

Tap a blank tape and it drops into the recorder. Tap LINE IN and pick the songs saved on your phone: press REC and it tapes them one after another. Or hold the phone near the speaker that's playing.

Hold the mic grille to talk over a song.

Mixtape on a phone: a yellow walkman on the desk, three blank tapes and a mailer, and a card that says Tap a blank tape.

Somebody made you a tape.

Your friend opens the link and a mailer lands on their desk, addressed to them and signed by you. A card says what to do: open it, and the tape drops into the deck; press PLAY and read your J-card while it plays. It plays the way you taped it, talking and all.

For DJs and artists

A C90 holds 45 minutes a side. Tape a set or your own tracks, write the track list on the J-card, and send the link to your list or post the QR code.

Each tape comes with a title in marker, a track list in pen, and a mailer with the listener's name on it.

Only tape music you have the right to share.
