How do people create platform-agnostic mixtapes these days?
It's the first time I'm doing this in the streaming age. Last "mixtape" I got was a screenshot of an Apple Music playlist, which I then recreated in another streaming service.
I mean the whole point is to put a little effort into it, so I'm thinking:
- build the playlist on streaming service
- buy each song and download
- rename MP3s in order
- upload to personal site
- maybe add a nice HTML player? make each track downloadable? zip them all? idk this is getting complicated
- send her the URL
Thoughts?
@matt Why not put all the MP3s into one file? No zipping needed.
@SystemWordFact Probably can't skip tracks then, right?
@matt Doesn't that make it a more authentic mix tape experience then?
@SystemWordFact Hah I guess I was thinking more CD mixtape than cassette mixtape 😄
But that could be an interesting option! I'm already headed down the road of creating a small program to generate this for me.
@matt Yeah! Happy hacking!
@SystemWordFact @matt you could make an .m4b audiobook file. That has skip to next chapter (song), album art, and more but it is all contained in one file. You can even remember your last position.
@sirspiff @SystemWordFact Nice, I didn't know about that! I actually went with a static site generator :)
