Netflix Wants You To Groove On Your Own ‘Mixtapes’

Remember mixtapes?

Yeah, you do.

Well, Netflix wants you to make your own mixtapes based on the content available on its site.

This week, the online (and mail delivery) video service announced that it has launched its latest initiative, a service called Flixtape, which Netflix describes as a way to make a “short playlist of Netflix titles based around a theme, a mood or message. It’s like a mixtape but for Netflix.”

Here’s how Netflix describes its Flixtape service:

Name your Flixtape: “The name of your Flixtape is everything. It’s how we kick off your playlist with a few movies and shows that capture the vibe you want. Type in the feeling you’re trying to capture, a nod to the genre you love to geek out on or a message to the person receiving it.”

Edit your playlist: “Mix it up. The editor allows you to replace and remove any of the three titles Flixtape has suggested for you. You can also search for and add up to six total titles to your playlist.”

Customize your cover: “Your Flixtape is meant to be personal. Each one has a customizable cover with doodles that match just about any theme. Feel free to personalize it even more by adding the name of a friend, loved one or whoever else is lucky enough to get your awesome Flixtape.”

Share it: “Launch your Flixtape into the world with Twitter or Facebook. You can also share it with someone special via email or text. Anyone who has the privilege of viewing your Flixtape will see your amazing title, experience your custom cover, peruse your playlist and watch the titles on Netflix (as long as they have an active account).”

So, are you ready to go “old school” and mix your own Netflix playlist? If so, then Flixtape is the service for you.
