Built
I build the tools I need instead of waiting for someone else to make them. These are two tools I designed and built.
Boom Box Player
Custom web audio player — live on missdeezy.com
missdeezy.com — custom web audio player
A custom audio player built into missdeezy.com. It plays my mixes.
The rest of the brand lives in a retro-cassette world — cassette laptop cover, cassette business cards — and a generic grey play bar sat outside all of it. So I built a boom box instead.
A player is a small thing to build. But it’s the one element on the site a visitor actually touches, and it was the only one not speaking the same language as everything around it.
IDENT
A DJ Music Tag Tool
IDENT - Tag Tool
IDENT - Drag Un-tagged Music
IDENT - Batch Process Music
IDENT - Files Done
IDENT - Ready To Play!
Batch-tags tracks, strips embedded artwork, and outputs files ready to drag straight into Serato.
Tagging sounds like housekeeping until you’re in front of a full floor trying to find one specific version of a song. The tool exists because that search shouldn’t take longer than the sixteen bars I have to make it.
Both are in regular use — IDENT in my own DJ work, the Boom Box Player live on missdeezy.com.
