gollark: (also, they aren't unreadable since you can just unbase64 them)
gollark: I don't see this as a horrible problem, but a bigger one is that base64 does not actually compress things.
gollark: Actually, you should use (praise be!) ffmpeg.
gollark: I just have a script which reads metadata from my music library and converts it to DFPWM as a multitrack tape image.
gollark: It is a shame they didn't do Opus, somewhat. Although DFPWM is simple enough to implement in CC if necessary.
