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!
I used some program that records whatever audio that happens to be playing as an mp3 file. I forget what it was called, as this was years ago on my now-dead iBook.
But I did use it to grab the audio from a Fatboy Slim video ("Weapon of Choice").
It was shareware, but if you didn't pay for it it would still let you record for ten or 20 minutes at a time.
Ah, bite me. I don't consider the song separate from the video. I consider the video add ons, but now they're taking away functionality from the song itself.
Well, that puts an end to my video buying. I'm peeved enough that working around it with shareware isn't worth it for me.
Thanks for the heads up, though, tommy, and the experimentation, -t.
I'm pretty sure VirtualDubMod would let you rip an audio track, but I don't know how it would handle stuff downloaded from iTunes.
I think the software you are referring to is Audio HiJack, it's a handy utility.
That name rings a bell.
Someone sent me a file of music that they created on a PC using sendspace.com. It looked like I was able to download the file okay to my Mac, but when I tried to open the downloaded file using stuffit expander, I got a message that the file didn't appear to be encoded or encrypted, so stuffit expander couldn't open it. It asked if I wanted to try BOMAarchive helper, but that didn't work either.
Any ideas on how to get the file open?
I can't get Excel to open any files I've created in the past week. Excel just thinks about it for a while and then crashes. I can open older files just fine and I've opened the recent files on another computer without a problem. While on the other computer, I saved the file under a different name but my computer still wouldn't open it. WTF?
Why the fuck did Google Images fancy up its results display?
Getting the old Google image search back: [link]
Lee, could it be that they merely renamed the file extension to make it look like an archive but isn't? The other possibility it to try downloading it to a non-Mac and try opening it there.

I actually think this is it. I did try to open it that way last night, or at least thought I had, and it didn't work, but this morning I tried again and it did.
YAY.
