01 / HOW IT WORKS
Pick. Burn. Send.
A playlist link is convenient. A CD feels made. Burn CD turns choosing a few songs into a tiny ritual again.
STEP 1
Pick the songs
Search for the tracks that belong together: the late drive song, the one you both overplayed, or the one you hope they hear at exactly the right moment. Preview each track, add it to the disc, and set the order.
STEP 2
Burn the CD
Start the old-school wizard and watch each track write to the disc. It only takes a moment, but that moment is part of the point. A mixtape should feel made, not generated.
STEP 3
Send it to someone
Put the finished disc in its case, leave a short note, and send the link. They can open it in their browser, hear every preview, and keep the track list.
For the train rides, the rainy mornings, and the songs I still owe you.
02 / THE OTHER SIDE
Someone burned you a CD.
That sentence used to mean something.
It meant someone spent an evening choosing songs, changing the order, starting over, and thinking about where you would be when you heard them. Burn CD brings back that feeling without pretending it is still 2003. The case is digital and the player lives in a browser. The intention is the same.
Make one for a friend moving away, someone you miss, someone you just met, or someone who needs a better soundtrack for the week. It can be romantic, ridiculous, nostalgic, or impossible to explain. The mix only needs a person.
03 / HELP
Before you load the tray.

Does a shared CD expire?
The Burn CD link has no scheduled expiration. An individual preview may become unavailable if the third-party music catalog changes later.
Are you affiliated with Apple or Spotify?
