TapeDeck - Time Machine
Relive the Radio
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Rewind the radio you grew up with. Pick a date + genre, simulate a live station, watch on YouTube, and export to Apple Music.
Remember the radio you grew up with. TapeDeck Time Machine lets you time-travel through music. Pick any date and genre, then generate a “live radio” simulation from real chart data. Preview instantly on YouTube and (optionally) save the playlist to your Apple Music library.
What you can do:
Pick a date & genre and “tune in” to that week’s hits
See an auto-generated tracklist with timestamps & chart ranks
Play a continuous mix with the built-in YouTube player
Create a matching Apple Music playlist in one tap*
*Requires an active Apple Music subscription for playlist creation.
Why you’ll love it:
Choose a date (e.g., your graduation day) and genre (Hot 100, Alternative, Pop, Rock, Country, R&B/Hip-Hop, Dance/Electronic)
Simulated radio: no repeats for a set time, realistic rotations
One-tap YouTube playlist creation to watch in the YouTube app
Apple Music export: sign in once, then save your playlist to your library
Fast, lightweight, privacy-friendly—no TimeDeck account required
How it works:
TapeDeck pulls historical chart data and simulates real rotation rules (no repeats too soon, smart spacing of big hits). When you connect Apple Music, we securely request a user token through Apple’s official MusicKit flow and create a playlist in your library—no accounts or passwords stored.
Privacy
We only request Apple Music access when you choose to export a playlist. Basic anonymous analytics help us improve the app. See our full policy at tapedecktimemachine.com/privacy.
