+For DreamHost hosting, the owner of `feed.falsefinish.club` can configure CORS headers using an `.htaccess` file in the root directory of the site (or in the specific directory serving the audio files).
+
+## Setting CORS Headers on DreamHost
+
+Create or edit the `.htaccess` file in the web root (typically `~/falsefinish.club/feed/` or wherever the audio files are served from) and add:
+
+```apache
+# Enable CORS for echo-reality.com
+<IfModule mod_headers.c>
+    Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "https://echo-reality.com"
+    Header set Access-Control-Allow-Methods "GET, HEAD, OPTIONS"
+    Header set Access-Control-Expose-Headers "ETag, Last-Modified, Content-Length"
+</IfModule>
+
+# Handle preflight OPTIONS requests
+<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
+    RewriteEngine On
+    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} OPTIONS
+    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1 [R=200,L]
+</IfModule>
+```
+
+### If targeting specific file types only (recommended)
+
+To apply CORS headers only to audio files:
+
+```apache
+<IfModule mod_headers.c>
+    <FilesMatch "\.(mp3|mp4|wav|ogg|m4a)$">
+        Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "https://echo-reality.com"
+        Header set Access-Control-Allow-Methods "GET, HEAD, OPTIONS"
+        Header set Access-Control-Expose-Headers "ETag, Last-Modified, Content-Length"
+    </FilesMatch>
+</IfModule>
+```
+
+### For multiple origins (if needed during development)
+
+If you need to allow both the production domain and a local development server:
+
+```apache
+<IfModule mod_headers.c>
+    SetEnvIf Origin "^https://(echo-reality\.com|localhost:3000)$" CORS_ORIGIN=$0
+    Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "%{CORS_ORIGIN}e" env=CORS_ORIGIN
+    Header set Access-Control-Allow-Methods "GET, HEAD, OPTIONS"
+    Header set Access-Control-Expose-Headers "ETag, Last-Modified, Content-Length"
+</IfModule>
+```
+
+### How to add the .htaccess file on DreamHost
+
+1. **Via SFTP/FTP**: Connect to the server using an FTP client (like FileZilla) and upload/edit the `.htaccess` file in the appropriate directory
+
+2. **Via DreamHost Panel File Manager**: Log into the DreamHost panel → Manage Websites → Files → navigate to the directory and create/edit `.htaccess`
+
+3. **Via SSH** (if enabled): SSH into the server and use a text editor like `nano` or `vim`
+
+### Important notes for DreamHost
+
+- DreamHost's shared hosting uses Apache, so `.htaccess` files work out of the box
+- The `mod_headers` module is enabled by default on DreamHost
+- Make sure the `.htaccess` file has proper permissions (644)
+- Changes take effect immediately—no server restart needed
+
+### Testing the configuration
+
+After adding the `.htaccess` file, the owner can verify it's working by checking the response headers:
+
+```bash
+curl -I -X OPTIONS -H "Origin: https://echo-reality.com" \
+  "https://feed.falsefinish.club/Echo%20Reality/PINK%20FLIGHT/MP3%20BOUNCE/01.%20PINK%20FLIGHT%20ATTENDANT.mp3"
+```
+
+The response should include the `Access-Control-Allow-Origin: https://echo-reality.com` header.
+
+### Quick test `.htaccess` for DreamHost
+
+```apache
+# TEMPORARY - Allow all origins for testing
+<IfModule mod_headers.c>
+    <FilesMatch "\.(mp3|mp4|wav|ogg|m4a)$">
+        Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"
+        Header set Access-Control-Allow-Methods "GET, HEAD, OPTIONS"
+        Header set Access-Control-Expose-Headers "ETag, Last-Modified, Content-Length"
+    </FilesMatch>
+</IfModule>
+```
+
+This limits the wildcard CORS to just media files, which is a reasonable middle ground—your audio files are publicly accessible but you're not opening up everything on the domain.

-Simple HTML/JS/CSS Cassette Player
-
-## Instructions for hosting
-
-1. Clone or download this repository.
-    - if downloading as a zip file, extract to a temporary folder
-2. Copy or move the relevant files to the location you want to host them from. **Keep all files together in the same location/folder**.
-    - `index.html` - main HTML file
-    - `app.js` - main app JavaScript file
-    - `styles.css` - app styling CSS file
-    - `background.png` - image for player background
-3. Navigate to `http://<yourhost.com>/path/to/where/you/saved/index.html` in your browser.
-
-### Alternatively, if just previewing
-
-1. Unzip to a temporary folder.
-2. Open `index.html` in your browser. (`ctrl/cmd+o`, drag and drop, etc.)
-    a. or navigate to the file manually in your address bar (e.g. `file:///Users/username/tempfolder/cassette-player/index.html`)

-Let me take a look at what's currently in the project to understand the existing features and theme better.
-
-[1 tool called]
-
-This is a really well-crafted project with a lot of nice details already. Let me put together some ideas for easter eggs and tweaks that would fit the retro dystopian/broken cassette player theme.
-
-Based on what I see in the code, you already have:
-- CRT scanlines and flicker effects
-- Cracked display overlay
-- Worn/faded button icons
-- Damage texture overlay
-- Tape wind sound effects
-- Bouncing track name marquee
-
-Here are some ideas that would complement the existing aesthetic:
-
----
-
-## Visual Glitch / Distortion Effects
-
-1. **Random screen glitches** - Occasional RGB channel separation or horizontal displacement that happens randomly or when interacting with controls (like the display is malfunctioning)
-
-2. **Dead pixels** - A few permanently "stuck" green pixels on the CRT display
-
-3. **Screen burn-in** - Faint ghost image of "PLAY" or old track names that lingers on the display
-
-4. **Intermittent display failure** - Rare chance of the display going dark for a split second then flickering back on
-
-5. **VHS tracking lines** - Occasional horizontal noise bars that scroll up the display
-
----
-
-## Audio Quirks
-
-6. **Tape flutter/wow** - Subtle pitch wobble effect using Web Audio API's `playbackRate` with slight random variations, like a worn tape mechanism
-
-7. **Random audio dropouts** - Very brief moments where audio cuts out or gets muffled (like dirty tape heads)
-
-8. **Static between tracks** - White noise/hiss during track transitions
-
-9. **"Tape eating" event** - Rare chance when pressing play/stop that triggers a tape-eating sound effect and animation where the tape visually tangles
-
----
-
-## Hidden Interactions
-
-10. **Konami code** - Entering the classic code unlocks a secret mode (different color scheme, hidden track, or "repaired" mode where everything works perfectly)
-
-11. **Thump to fix** - Double-clicking/tapping the cassette housing "thumps" the player, which could temporarily fix glitches or cause new ones
-
-12. **Secret button combo** - Holding certain buttons together reveals hidden content or debug info
-
-13. **Dust accumulation** - Animated dust particles that slowly build up on the display, clickable to "wipe clean"
-
----
-
-## Dystopian Theme Additions
-
-14. **Redacted track names** - Occasional text that appears with black boxes like "[REDACTED]" or "TRACK ██ - ████████"
-
-15. **Surveillance indicator** - Small red "REC" light in the corner that occasionally blinks, or a subtle camera icon
-
-16. **Propaganda interruptions** - Random brief messages that flash on screen like "COMPLIANCE IS FREEDOM" or "REPORT SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY"
-
-17. **Emergency broadcast** - Rare event where audio cuts to an emergency alert tone with scrolling text
-
-18. **Signal interference** - Brief moments where the display shows "NO SIGNAL" or "WEAK SIGNAL"
-
----
-
-## Time-Based Behaviors
-
-19. **Midnight mode** - Different behavior or color scheme between certain hours (dimmer, more glitchy, or eerier)
-
-20. **Battery drain simulation** - After extended use, everything gradually slows down and gets distorted until "recharged" (refreshing the page)
-
----
-
-## Fun Visual Additions
-
-21. **Tape label graffiti/stickers** - Small worn stickers or handwritten notes on the cassette
-
-22. **Cigarette burn marks** - Subtle burn marks on the player casing
-
-23. **Fingerprint smudges** - Subtle smudges on the tape window or display
-
-24. **"Property of..." label** - A worn/scratched identification label with mysterious text
-
----
-
-Would you like me to create a plan to implement some of these? If so, which ones appeal to you most? I can group them into:
-- **Quick wins** (CSS-only or simple JS)
-- **Medium effort** (Web Audio effects, animations)  
-- **Larger features** (Konami code, emergency broadcast system)
