TaperTrack — Track Every Show You've Heard

How to TaperTrack

Browse the vaults

Head to Bands to explore full Archive.org catalogs — Grateful Dead alone has 18,000+ recordings. Filter by year, no account needed to look around.

Best recording, auto-picked

Most dates have multiple tapings. We dedupe them and surface the best one — highest rated, then most reviewed, then most downloaded. Look for the 'best of N' tag.

Check off what you've heard

On any band's show list, tap the check button to mark a show as already heard — no need to open it. Open a show page for per-song check-offs, star ratings, and notes.

Built-in player

Hit 'Play show' on any show page to stream the recording right here. Songs get auto-marked as heard as they finish playing.

The never-ending tour

Every band is a quest: hear every show, year by year. Your dashboard tracks hours listened, milestone ranks, and which years you've covered. 3,000 Dead shows is 9,000+ hours — pace yourself.

Rate the jams

Rate whole shows or individual songs. Your top-rated list lives on the dashboard so you can find the face-melters again.

Your diary, everywhere

Sign in with email or Google and everything syncs to your account — follow bands, track shows, and pick up where you left off on any device.

Share your tour diary

Flip on sharing from your dashboard to get a public link showing your favorite bands, the eras you've covered, and your top-rated shows. Send it to your tour crew.

Trippy visualizer

While music plays, a live visualizer dances above the player controls, pulsing with the actual audio. Not feeling it? Tap the sparkle button in the player to turn it off — your choice is remembered.

Real artwork, lossless sound

Shows and bands display the actual cover art tapers uploaded to Archive.org. When a recording has a lossless FLAC master and your browser can play it, we stream that automatically — look for the 'Lossless FLAC' badge.

Pro: your AI tour guide

Pro members get a personalized next-show recommendation: our AI reads your taste — bands, ratings, eras — and picks the perfect tape from the vault. Free during the beta.

Install the app

Signed in? Add TaperTrack to your phone's home screen for one-tap access and faster loading — your recent browsing is cached on your device. Android offers a one-tap install; on iPhone use Share → Add to Home Screen.

Your bio page & feedback

Add a bio from your dashboard — your public diary page shows it alongside your stats: shows heard, hours listened, and eras covered. Got an idea? Use 'Request a feature' on the dashboard to send feedback straight to the admins.

The Long Strange Trip calculator

Every band page shows how many hours of music the whole catalog holds. Drag the slider to your daily listening pace and see how many days — or decades — it would take to hear every show, plus the year you'd finish.

New features get added here as the tour rolls on.
