Mixtape Generator

Pick a genre — Pop, Rock, Hip Hop or Country — then an era: 70s, 80s or 90s. It builds you a 20-track mixtape plus a reserve bench of real Billboard chart hits for that combo, on a cassette deck that actually runs: play, pause, flip the tape, watch the reels turn. No audio is bundled (that would be a copyright mess), so every track has a "Find" button that pulls it up on YouTube instead. Built live on Episode 2.

Download the generator HTML file · works in any modern browser · also playable right here: open in browser
  • 4 genres × 3 eras = 12 mixtapes, each with its own fixed, researched tracklist — same picks every time, not randomized
  • Every song reached the top 25 of the Billboard chart for its genre and decade
  • 10 tracks a side plus a reserve bench — hit Swap to pull in a fresh pick
  • No audio ever bundled or streamed — just a one-tap "Find" link to the real song on YouTube
  • Working cassette deck: play, pause, rewind, fast-forward, flip the tape
  • Name your own mixtape and it updates the label on the cassette itself
STEP 1

Download it

Press the button and save the file somewhere easy to find, like your Desktop. (Or just open it in your browser right here — no download needed.)

STEP 2

Pick a genre, then an era

Pop, Rock, Hip Hop or Country — then 70s, 80s or 90s. It builds the tape instantly.

STEP 3

Hit play, or hit Find

Press Play to watch the deck run, or tap Find on any song to hear the real thing on YouTube.

Everything runs in your browser. No audio is bundled or streamed from this site, and nothing you do here is uploaded anywhere.

The Radio

Same genre and era picks as the Mixtape Generator, but this one plays for real. Pick Pop, Rock, Hip Hop or Country and a decade, hit play and let it run — one song after another through a real embedded YouTube player, no Find buttons, no swapping. It uses your own YouTube sign-in, so you'll hear ads unless you have YouTube Premium. A small handful of tracks across the library are still marked "coming soon" — the rest are good to go.

Open the Radio Runs right in your browser · full tracklist, let it play
  • Pick a genre and era, hit play, and let it run — no clicking required after that
  • Flat tracklist, not sides — just one queue, top to bottom
  • Auto-advances to the next track when one ends
  • Real YouTube playback, with your own account and ads (unless you have Premium)
  • The full Billboard-sourced library is in — same fixed, researched tracklists as the generator

EP02

Mixtape Generator

The audience voted and we built a retro mixtape maker live — then turned it into a genre/era generator so everyone can build their own. Segment ideas and audience polls decided the direction.
