iTunes Opener

I've been horrible about releases, here's one that fixes iTunes' crap M3U handling. Here's the original blog entry I wrote about it.

Basically, this will intercept M3Us and then create individual playlists for them instead of dumping the songs directly into your Library (where after playing the first song, the songs in the lists are scattered to whatever your Library ordering is).

record - a simple recording script for your Mac

Written originally for OSCON 2002, this is a simple record script that I wrote for my Mac (and my home-built headphone-embedded binaural microphone). I recently updated this to make sure that it still works (it does), although honestly, if you have an iPod, I recommend picking up a Griffin iTalk, it's great.

Still, this is a handy script to have in your ~bin just in case.

I recommend using Fink to install esdrec and lame:

sudo fink install esound
sudo fink install lame
