gollark: My multi-tape audio setup.
gollark: But it can represent stuff so it sounds *roughly* right at surprisingly low bitrates.
gollark: Dynamic Filter Pulse Width Modulation, it's some weird custom codec.
gollark: I made a program which uses ffmpeg and LionRay (WAV→DFPWM encoder) to convert a bunch of music to DFPWM for tape use, and adds metadata so you can select tracks on a tape.
gollark: You can download 32 minutes of (low-quality) music onto that!
