In the realm of improving app feature parity across platforms, there’s a great new capability in iOS 26’s Music app that had previously been exclusive to the Mac: playlist folder creation.

iOS 26 is full of new features for the Music app, including more expansive animated album art, in-app support for Apple Music Replay, and new pinning options.

How Mixtape reminds us that your mixtapes were your life | Johnny Galvatron interview

venturebeat.com Dean Takahashi 2026-04-14 03:45:00

It took Johnny Galvatron and his small team of neophytes six years to make The Artful Escape, a musical narrative game that debuted in 2021. With Mixtape, the team has been working on it for about two years. Annapurna Interactive published the game from Galvatron, a former star from the Australian band The Galvatrons, even though it focused on a somewhat cursed genre of music games. It did well enough for Annapurna, despite its recent troubles, to publish Galvatron’s second game. With Mixtape,

Apple will let third party music apps show animated artwork on the iPhone lock screen, not just Apple Music

Mixtape turned me back into a Millennial teenage dirtbag

Mixtape is the answer to the question, “What if the movie High Fidelity was a video game?” It’s not a perfect analogy, but it’s pretty damn close, and either way it’s a sign that Mixtape is going to be a fabulous slice of late-1990s, early-2000s nostalgia, complete with a banging soundtrack. You can hear it in the trailers — Mixtape absolutely nails the classic Moviefone tone, and it seems that this vibe extends to the full game.
