Mp3 on Evan Hoffman

Amazon knows customer service.

I bought the latest Green Day album for $5. After downloading and playing it I realized I was listening to a censored version of the album. I didn’t think there was much recourse since it was an MP3 download, and there’s no way to “return” it. But I figured it was worth a try anyway. The worst that could happen is they say no. I started a chat session and to my surprise, they refunded my purchase price within 5 minutes! That’s what I call service.

Information is overpriced.

Flac to MP3 (flac2mp3.pl)

I wrote a crappy perl script to read all the .flac files in a directory and convert them to MP3 using LAME, extracting the meta-data and inserting it as ID3v2 tags. I figured this might be somewhat useful to others, so here you go: <flac2mp3.pl>
