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 A friend did a single long Audacity project (with music and some extra stuff like funny quotes) which has been enjoyed in that format and also exported both to an audio file with some reasonable parameters and a truly terrible mp3 uploaded to the Signal group chat as a voice message

@felurx why the terrible quality for the signal version?

@aesthr I mostly did a terrible quality export from the Audacity project (which the friend shared) as a joke, then I thought "wait, this is probably more than small enough to be sent as a voice message" (and I think the idea of a 4h voice message was funny to me), so I tried and it worked and then some people actually listened to it :D
