Audacity definitely internally converts.
Huh. That's what I get for paying so very much attention. Thank you.
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Hey. New board.
If you need a windows version of the commandline ffmpeg tool, which is a surprisingly useful little program, you can get it here: [link]
If you need a Mac version, you can get it through darwinports or fink, I believe. Or you can take the binary out of the application resources for ffmpegX, a gui for it and a bunch of other software that is aimed at working with video files.

Jon, this will do what you want and it does not decode/encode when it does it. All the work is done in the native MP3 format.

Thank you Nova & ND (and everyone else for trying)!

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Hello, all. So, say you work on an ancient dialup at home. And you have a fairly old Netscape and IE version 6.0.xxx as browsers. Say that the Netscape has a habit of crashing, so you don't use it often, but that since yesterday IE has been on the fritz.
(Notably, a page will load, go to the proper background color, create a vertical scrollbar, and then be Done and blank. Sometimes, if I scroll to the bottom, the text on the page appears, but mostly it doesn't. Much more of a problem on complex pages like Yahoo mail and Boston.com, but just now b.org succumbed to it as well.)
1. Any ideas WTF?
2. What browser should I download that will not go on the fritz on my elderly, slow-connection machine?
All advice appreciated (I will be fine at work; this is the home machine).

Nutty, is Ye Olde Computron a Mac or a PC? And what OS are you running?
In either case, have you tried Opera?
(Other suggestions might be forthcoming based on what type of system you have.)

PC, Win 98 Plus. Haven't updated a thing in years, and had hoped to get away with that for many years hence.
I will not point out that Netscape has not yet crashed on me, because if I do, it promptly will.

Hmm. I would just try downloading Internet Explorer SP if that's not the version you're using (it's basically the version for anyone not running Windows XP).

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

It sounds like the browser is having problems interpreting scripts. I'm not exactly sure what would cause that.
Since you haven't updated in a long, long time, I wonder if it hasn't picked up an infection of some sort. Other things you might want to download are Ad-Aware and Spybot - Search & Destroy. They'll find any spyware you may have picked up in your browsing.
