Encoding Data for Audio Tape?

Kris_J asks: "I've recently purchased and installed an audio cassette deck for my PC. It makes recording to and from tape particularly painless, but I'm looking for some funky other stuff to try. Along the lines of my new old SuperDisk FD32MB that can store 32MB on a normal 1.44MB floppy, and my Cuttle Cart that can load Atari 2600 games from encoded audio I'm wondering if there's any program that can encode a file as audio that can survive being recorded to audio tape or compressed as an MP3. I'll worry about 'why' later."

I got to "I've recently purchased and installed an audio cassette deck for my PC." and was thinking of a stupid comment to make about how he could save his 10 PRINT "I RULE!, 20 GOTO 10 program on it.

And then it turns out that's actually what he wants to do!

Suggestion -- here's your opportunity to learn a bit about file I/O. You know how to write to and read from the device? Hack at it a bit and write your own toy utility. That'll benefit you far more than finding something on Sourceforge and playing with it for 5 minutes.
