Mixtapes · only on myStereo
Millions of songs.
Ninety minutes.
Streaming hands you every song ever recorded and asks nothing of you. A mixtape asks everything. Pick a C60 or a C90 and you get 30 or 45 minutes a side. When Side A is full, it’s full. You have to know your music, and you have to choose.
Record it
While the red REC light is on, every song you pick goes onto the tape, with a note saying how much room is left.
Play it like a tape
No shuffle, no skip. REW and FF wind through it, and when Side A ends, you flip it.
Label it, give it
A handwritten label, who it’s for, and a printable J-card for a real cassette case.
Your mixtapes follow you to every device through Plex. There’s a No Limit option too, but where’s the fun in that?

For tinkerers
Want more? Meet myStereo Elite.
Same myStereo, plus features that take a little setup. Play music straight from your own network share (WebDAV), no Plex required. It opens in the Away Mission case with the Starship Console screen, and keeps its own settings, so you can keep both on your home screen.
Not on the menu
There's a secret in here.
Remember the code that gave you 30 lives in Contra on the NES? It works here too. Enter it by tapping the edges of the knob on the main menu, which stand in for the D‑pad. Skip the B and A and go straight for the center button. You'll know it when you see it.
