Physical Cassette Tapes from MP3s. Static brutal site with no back end

I had a silly idea for awhile, making actual cassette mixtapes from MP3s. I thought it was a bit obscene, and it amused me. So I built a static site with Cactus then plugged in a Jotform that handles media uploads and payments. Designwise I opted for mid 90s brutalism, down to midi music (on desktop it starts playing smoke on the water) you can check it out at 420verload.com

    Or more precisely, my little site maker... It is a personal tool that I thoroughly enjoyed making, and enjoy using to write my website . A caveat before any more; nobody was supposed to promote this insanity. Like, terrible things have been done involving inotify and xdotool. But. It showed up on HN some months ago. That too while it was still, shall we say, fermenting. It got "done" some time thence, and of course one could not let the half-past just be. So here we are, for better or worse.

    RM2000 Tape Recorder makes it stupid simple to grab audio samples and organize them: just record the sample, give it a title (and maybe some tags), and it is saved neatly into a directory of your choosing. I'm a huge datahoarder and have always appreciated tools / services like PureRef and Are.na which help me make sense of everything I collect. Those services concern themselves with images and video - I wondered, why can't the same be done with music and audiofiles? I actually got the inspiration for the filenaming scheme from the Emacs Denote package - every sample is saved in the…
