Title kinda says it all.
I’d like to make a mix tape (digital…not an actual cassette). Is there a way to do that and gift it to someone these days?
I am NOT looking to steal music. I am asking if I can buy the music (legally) and send that collection of music to someone?
Ideally something that will play on any platform.
Amazon will sell you music you can download to your personal collection as mp3 files.
If you want to include a call-back to the mix tape of yore, put it on one of these:
If you’re both on Amazon Prime or Apple whatever their version of that is. you can share playlists. I think that’s the closest (legally), though it requires them already having prime or whatever, so it’s not a financial gift.
So many questions.
Well, actually, two questions:
1.) Why are they called “Milktape”?
2.) Where does one come up with 128 megabyte flash chips in 2021?
I see that they have 128 MB for $17.99 and 16,000 MB for $21.99.
Yeah, but that’s on a cassette - the OP specifically didn’t want to gift it on a cassette.
Unless there is some reason it has to look like a tape cassette, like if he were using an actual cassette, I would walk into the closest store where they sell USB drives and ask for the cheapest (smallest) one, which will surely be several gigabytes at least, but who knows what they have left behind the counter?
As for the music, to have it “play on any platform” I guess mp3 is still standard and popular; alternatives are FLAC and AAC.
That made me think that somebody should have made a fully self-contained MP3 player that functioned like those plug-in cassette adapters there used to be for CD players. And it looks like someone tried–I don’t know if it was ever actually sold, though.
