Making a mixtape
What is Track Record?
A space to record and share the memories connected to the music you love.
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 memories and your Track Record
Can I share a single memory?
Yes. Every memory has a “Share Memory” button that copies a public link to a standalone page for just that memory — 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 memory?
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 memory I share?
If they sign in, they can save the track to their own memories (the track only — your context stays yours) or start a new mixtape seeded from it.
Your private workspace
What is the Memories workspace?
Your private sandbox. Save memories before they fade, draft the story on the back, and think out loud — nothing here is visible to anyone else unless you deliberately share one.
What are tracklists?
Private groupings of your memories — mix and match combinations, drag to reorder, and experiment before anything's final. A memory can sit in as many tracklists as you like.
How do memories get into mixtapes or my Track Record?
Group memories into private tracklists from the Memories page. And wherever you're drafting — a mixtape or your Track Record — use “Select a saved memory” to pull any memory straight from your library into the draft.
If I delete a memory, 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 memory 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, contributing and listening are free. Delivering a finished mixtape as a gift costs 1 credit — flat, whatever the mixtape's size, always. Playback is always free, for contributors, recipients, everyone: you are never paying for the music, only for the pressing and delivery of the keepsake around it.
Do credits expire?
Credits you buy never expire. Credits from the subscription bank up while you're a member, and stay usable for 12 months after you cancel.
Can I get a refund on credits?
Yes — unspent credits are refundable within 14 days of purchase. Once a credit has been spent on delivering a mixtape, it's been used.
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.
