Questions

What are good songs for a road trip?

Songs with a steady, easy groove that won’t wear you out over hours: upbeat for the first stretch, mellow in the middle, and softer as it gets dark. The mixtape maker here builds exactly that arc from Purrple Cat’s lofi catalogue.

How many songs do I need for a road trip?

Purrple Cat songs average 2:46, so you need about 22 songs per hour of driving: roughly 43 for a 2-hour drive, 86 for 4 hours and 173 for 8 hours. Enter your drive length and the mixtape maker counts it out for you.

What is good music for a long drive?

Music that keeps you alert without being loud. Mid-tempo lofi with soft drums works well for long drives because it stays in the background and never jumps in volume. For night driving, try the Night Drive playlist.

What should I listen to on a night drive?

Calm, warm songs with a slow pulse. The Night Drive playlist pulls from the City Nights albums and Night Train.

Can I use these road trip songs in my travel vlog?

Yes. Every song here is a Purrple Cat Self Release, free under CC BY 4.0 on social media and livestreams with the credit “Music by Purrple Cat”. Never re-upload them to music streaming services, and never register them in Content ID. Purrple Cat Self Releases are never in Content ID.

Can I download the mixtape for offline listening?

Yes. Every song has a free MP3 download, and each mixtape and playlist has an M3U playlist file you can save before you lose signal.
