3. Reorder Tracks

   Drag and drop tracks in the playlist to perfect the flow (powered by Sortable.js).

   Pro Tip

5. Add liner notes

   What would you want your friend to know about the mixtape?

   You can refer to tracks by using #1 or ranges of tracks #1-4, which will turn into track titles and artist names when viewing the mixtape.

   Enter a title (it auto-generates a clean, URL-friendly slug).

   Click Save – your mixtape saves instantly, and you get a public share link.
