Thinking about what a good mixtape format would be today, assuming people mostly don't have actual tape decks.

One continuous audio file with all songs joined together?

Offline html page with an embedded audio player?

Other ideas? Should be independent of streaming services.

@aesthr Duxtape was a cool implementation of a decentralized/offline web page using the dat/hypercore network, back when Beaker Browser was a thing before the remaining founder quit to work on Bluesky instead. It worked more or less like Muxtape and its clones did back in the filesharing wars, but anyone could clone it and rehost it from their computer.

Technically dat & hypercore still exist, but I feel momentum was lost when Beaker died.
