Your music, on a
real cassette deck.
Cowboy Player turns your library into cassettes — load them, flip them, tape the radio. Hi-fi from 1986, engineered for 2026.
Everything a deck should do.
Nothing a player shouldn't.
Real mechanics, real radio, real tape. Six reasons this isn't just another music app with a skin.
Two-sided cassettes
Every tape has a Side A and a Side B — two playlists on one cassette, like a real mixtape. Fill them, flip between them, and when a side runs out of tape the deck flips for you. C‑60, C‑90, C‑120, or a bottomless C‑∞.
World radio
Thousands of live stations across every country and language, tuned with a real dial. Spin from Tokyo jazz to Texas country.
Tape the radio
Hit REC while a station plays and capture it onto a blank cassette — DJ chatter, static and all. Like it's 1986.
Graphic EQ
A 10-band equalizer with glowing color bands and presets that actually shape the sound, not just the visuals.
Swappable skins
Brushed steel, matte black, seventies cream. Change the faceplate — or grab community skins from the marketplace.
Pocket player
Collapse the deck into a mini walkman that floats above your work — transport keys and tape counter included.
Built like hardware.
Cassettes with cover art
Every tape carries its artwork, label and side markings. Your library, shelf-worthy.
A dial across the planet
Tune live stations by country, language or genre — then press record and keep the night.
Own your music.
In 2026 that's the radical part.
Streaming rents you a catalog. A local deck gives you a collection. Nine reasons the files on your own disk still beat the cloud.
It's actually yours
MP3, FLAC, WAV — real files on your own disk. No subscription, no account, and no catalog that quietly drops a song you loved.
Plays with no internet
Your whole library on a plane, a train, a cabin off the grid. The music plays whether the Wi‑Fi does or not.
No algorithm, no ads
You choose the album. Nothing recommends, autoplays or interrupts — no shorts, no notifications, no "you might also like".
Lossless and Hi‑Fi‑ready
FLAC and WAV keep every bit of the master. Send it to a real DAC, amplifier or Hi‑Fi headphones and actually hear the difference.
Your library, your rules
Folders, genres, decades, compilations — sorted your way. Full control of every tag: artist, album, year, cover art.
Playlists that never expire
A mixtape you made in 2005 still plays, untouched, in 2045. Nothing re‑licenses, region‑locks or vanishes overnight.
Made for your own tracks
Exporting from a DAW? Audition your masters, mixes and stems the second they leave the studio — no upload, no wait.
Music no platform has
Bootlegs, live tapes, demos, remixes, out‑of‑print records and deep‑cut indie — the songs streaming never licensed live happily on your disk.
Because it's fun
The retro joy of your computer being your stereo again — a real deck, huge playlists, cover art on the shelf. Streaming just can't reproduce that.
Design and sell your own cassette covers.
Open the label editor, make a tape worth collecting, and put it on the marketplace.
