Content
Tiny Mix Tapes offers news, music reviews, movie reviews and columns. The "DeLorean" section covers music released before Tiny Mix Tapes begins which may no longer be popular, an album the author believes is "classical" or influential, or older music that matters to the author.
Similarly, "Eureka" consists of reviews highlighted by the site as very important or attractive.
There is also a feature section devoted to interviews, articles, fest reviews, and "Live Blogs," where authors review live music performances. In 2009, Tiny Mix Tapes added columns.
In 2008, Tiny Mix Tapes began reviewing the movie and now has a section devoted to the movie. This section also includes features of the filmmaker and many other subjects in film media.
Automatic Mixed Ribbon Generator
The Automatic Mix Tape Generator, or AMG, was created to offer two-way communication with the website. Beginning in 2002, readers can submit titles or themes for mixtape, and a group of volunteers (called "Mix Robots") will compose a list of songs. Due to the large number of requests and redundancy requests, not all requests are met. The "Mix Robots" generate and send a list of songs that meet the demand as they interpret it. The mixtape song list is then available on the website. Most of the songs on mix tape come from indie bands or underground/musicians. In 2008, Trillian, AMG editor, was in Talk of the Nation to discuss Valentine's Day mix.
Chocolate Grinder
In early 2009, Tiny Mix Tapes started a feature podcast called Chocolate Grinder. Published about twice a month, each installment sees an author collecting ten new songs they want to explain and mix them as a continuous stream or download. Tracks posted for streaming or downloading in one continuous file with a unique name. Currently, Chocolate Grinder remains the subject of Tiny Mix Tapes daily media content, which includes videos, music streams, Internet premieres, interactive websites, etc.
Benefit Compilation
In April 2009, the site began selling compilation CD/LP benefits to benefit the victims of the War in Darfur. It features 11 exclusive songs.
Humor and politics
On March 30, 2007, Tiny Mix Tapes announced it will host a festival in Minnesota. At this festival, the long-time indie band that disbanded Neutral Milk Hotel was billed to "reunite throughout your Cheerios" as a headline. In the midst of a flurry of blogs, and articles pertaining to the legitimacy of events on Billboard and Prefix, the festival was revealed as an early April Fool's joke on the same day.
