Like burning a CD, minus the blank discs

A playlist is a file. A mixtape is a letter. When someone burned you a CD in 2007, they didn't send you a URL to a streaming service — they chose every song, drew the label, and handed it to you. This is that, for the internet.

STEP 01
Search songs
Full catalog — pick the ones that mean something.
STEP 02
Write the note
In handwriting, like the back of a jewel case.
STEP 03
Burn the disc
Watch it burn. Feel something.
STEP 04
Send the link
One link = the whole CD. Copy, WhatsApp, iMessage, anything.

Why 30 seconds per song?

Because that's how memory works. You don't remember the whole album — you remember the 30 seconds you played over and over. Every song on a burnt mixtape plays its preview and moves on, like flipping through a real disc.

"songs only play for 30 seconds — so does a memory you haven't thought about in years."
— burnt for you

Questions people ask

How do I make a mixtape online?

Search songs, tap to add them to the disc, write your note and sign your name, then press BURN. You'll get a single link containing the entire mixtape. Send it however you like.

Is it really free? Do I need an account?

Free, no account, no email. The whole mixtape is compressed into the link — nothing is stored on any server, so there's nothing to sign up for.

Can the person who receives it make one back?

Yes — every mixtape page has a "burn one back" button. That's how mixtape friendships have always worked.

Do full songs play?

No — 30-second previews only. Full playback lives on Apple Music / streaming services; this is a gesture, not a music player.
