Description
For live concert recordings, the priority is different from mixtapes: the user wants the cleanest possible fit onto a single tape rather than filling a pre-chosen tape length. Forcing a concert into a fixed tape length (e.g. C-90) may result in awkward splits mid-performance.
Proposed behaviour
Add a --concert mode (or a dedicated prompt path) that:
- Treats the entire recording as a single ordered set (no reordering)
- Calculates total duration and suggests the smallest standard tape size (C-46, C-60, C-74, C-90, C-100, C-110, C-120) that fits cleanly
- If the set spans multiple tapes, suggests the optimal tape combination (e.g. Set I → C-100, Set II → C-90) and outputs one playlist pair per tape
- Optionally respects gapless transitions (see also #[preserve-order issue])
Use case
Recording a full live concert bootleg to cassette with minimal dead space and no mid-song cuts.
