Where to Share Your Playlist With Other Musicians (Introducing Mixtapes)

Sharing a playlist with other musicians is weirdly broken. You drop a Spotify link in a group chat and it scrolls away in an hour. You post it to a story and it's gone by morning. Reddit threads bury it, and none of those places are specifically the people in your scene. There's no spot where musicians actually browse what each other are listening to. So we built one.

Introducing Mixtapes

Mixtapes is a playlist-discovery board that lives right on Bandry's Showcase tab. Tap the "Showcase" title and it flips to "Mixtapes," the same way the Bulletin flips to Market. Share a public playlist, Spotify, Apple Music, SoundCloud, Bandcamp, or YouTube, and it lands on a board of what your scene is actually playing.

Like everything in Bandry, it's link-not-upload: nothing is hosted here, so every listen goes to the platform the playlist already lives on. Real plays, real streams, on your stuff.

How It Works

• Share a link, the art fills in. Paste a public playlist URL and the platform's own cover art unfurls onto the card automatically, the same way a track preview shows up in iMessage. No uploads, no screenshots.
• "Mixtapes for you." matches your genres. Tag the genres you're into on your profile and the top row lines up mixtapes in those genres. It's your declared taste, not an algorithm guessing, the same philosophy as the rest of Bandry: you decide what you see.
• Genre rows for everything else. Below the for-you row, mixtapes sort into rows by genre, Rock, Hip-Hop, R&B, Electronic, and on down, so you can dig into whatever you're in the mood for.
• Back the ones you like. Tap the 🔥 to endorse a mixtape, the same public count as the Bulletin. Tap a cover to see who made it and jump to their profile, with their roles, links, and posts in Bulletin and Market.
• Three at a time. You can keep up to three mixtapes live, so the board stays fresh and nobody floods it. Swap one out whenever.

A board, not a feed

Mixtapes is browsable, not algorithmic. There's no watch-history ranking deciding what surfaces and no infinite scroll engineered to keep you there. You tag the genres you care about, you see playlists in those genres, and you browse the rest by genre on your own terms. It's the same opinion that runs through the whole app: your scene, your call, no algorithm in the middle.

Also Worth Knowing

• Your genres live on your profile. Set or change them anytime from your profile, the same place your roles and links live. They drive your "Mixtapes for you." row.
• Your own mixtapes get their own shelf. Anything you share sits in "Your Mixtapes" at the top, separate from discovery, so you can manage them without hunting.

What to Do Next

Mixtapes is live in the app now. Flip the Showcase tab over, tag a couple genres, and share the playlist you've had on repeat. Then scroll your scene's rows and back the ones that hit. Head to bandry.app to get the app and see what your scene is playing.
