Why has it taken me so long to catch on to mp3s? For some reason I always thought there were only commercial encoders, but yesterday I realised that (1) there were free ones, and (2) I had several gig of hard drive with nothing on it. So now I've got BladeEnc running with XMCD, cdparanoia and id3tool, all under mp3make - which rips and encodes a cd with a single command. Kewl. Whole kaboodle thoroughly recommendable.
Oh yeah, and that's not all I was doing. I installed netatalk (here's the howto I used) so now I can get at my mp3s from the College library using AppleTalk TCP-IP (ox.ac.uk don't allow AppleTalk over the University backbone). And then there's Samba so I can mount the Windows network stuff on my Linux box then AppleTalk that back to my iBook and-- Shit, I never wanted to know this much about Linux. I'm a Mac user for crying out loud.
Can you tell I'm supposed to be revising?
