Making a mixtape

• How do I make one?

  Start a mixtape, give it a title, and add the people you want to contribute. Each person adds a song and the reason why. When it's ready, it becomes a keepsake you can share or give.

• How do I add a song?

  Paste a YouTube link for the track. The song plays through YouTube — Track Record is the layer of voice, story, and meaning around the music.

• Can other people contribute?

  Yes. Invite the people who matter — by email or username — and each person adds their own song and what it means. You can also make it on your own.

• Can I add a voice note or a written note?

  Either. Every song's "why" can be a recorded voice note or written words — your choice on each one. You can also add a photo and other context.

• Can I add artwork?

  Yes — upload a cover image for the mixtape, which sets the look of the whole thing.

Giving and sharing

• What does the person receiving it get?

  A keepsake mixtape made for them — the songs, the voices, the words, the meaning — to open, play, and keep.

• Can I share a mixtape?

  Yes. Share it with a link, give it as a gift, or keep it private to the people who made it.

• Who can see my mixtape?

  You choose — keep it private to the people involved, or share it with anyone you give the link to.

Sharing tiles and your Track Record

• Can I share a single tile?

  Yes. Every tile has a “Share Tile” button that copies a public link to a standalone page for just that tile — the track, playable, with the story on the back. Anyone with the link can see it, no account needed.

• Can I share my whole Track Record?

  Yes. The “Share Track Record” button on your Track Record page copies a public link showing all nine of your defining tracks in running order, for anyone to browse and play.

• What do other people see on a shared tile?

  The track itself is always visible. Each context element on the back — note, voice, photo, video — has its own visibility chip: anything set to Public appears on the shared page; anything set to Only you stays private to you, always.

• What can someone do with a tile I share?

  If they sign in, they can save the track to their own tiles (the track only — your context stays yours) or start a new mixtape seeded from it.

Your private workspace

• What is the Tiles workspace?

  Your private sandbox. Save tracks as tiles before the memories fade, draft the story on the back, and think out loud — nothing here is visible to anyone else unless you deliberately share a tile.

• What are tracklists?

  Private groupings of your tiles — mix and match combinations, drag to reorder, and experiment before anything's final. A tile can sit in as many tracklists as you like.

• How do tiles get into mixtapes or my Track Record?

  Under each tile are three buttons: Tracklists, Mixtapes, and Track Record. Shortlist a tile for one of your in-progress mixtapes, or queue it as a candidate for one of the nine positions in your Track Record — then place it when you're ready.

• If I delete a tile, does it disappear from my mixtapes?

  No. Anything already placed in a mixtape or a Track Record position is a permanent copy and stays put. Deleting a tile only removes it from your workspace, your tracklists, and any shortlists.

Practical

• Who can edit a mixtape?

  The person who made it, and contributors can add their own songs and context. People who simply receive or view it can play and read it, but not change it.

• What does it cost?

  Making a mixtape is free. There's a premium keepsake option for when you want the finished, giftable version — more on that as you create one.

• Where does the music come from?

  You add songs via YouTube links, and they play through YouTube. Track Record is the voice, story, and context around the music — not a music player itself.
