Related question: I have 6 zip disks. I no longer have a zip drive. They contain a five- or six-year-old backup, so it's possible that there's something sensitive in there. Hulk smash?
Ginger, I believe the solution is probably staring you right in the eyes. Or the knees, rather, if I remember someone's stature correctly.

That will lead to a whole different sort of data dump.

Can I share my geek find of the day? It's an email obfuscator that uses PHP to generate a random cipher of your email address. It then dynamically generates javascript with the decryption key, making it extremely difficult for bots to harvest the address. Neat!

Does anyone know if a disk recorded in m4a will play on regular CD players? It plays fine in my car, but I don't have another CD player to test it on. I'm on a MAC and giving GarageBand a trial run.
Thanks!

What do you mean "recorded in m4a"? Are you creating an audio CD, or a data CD with mp3/m4a audio tracks on it? If it's the former, it should play on anything, since there's no way to tell what format the audio files were in before they were converted to the audio CD format.

It's an audio CD and you're saying that it will play on any kind of player. Thanks, that's a great help. GarageBand gave me the option of exporting the podcast to disk but since I've only recorded from AIFF files in the past and know nothing about m4a, I wanted an expert opinion. I certainly didn't want to make and send out a bunch of disks that wouldn't play on people's CD players.
Again, thanks.

That is indeed what I'm saying. No problemo.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Ginger, if it's data that you might need, I do still have my zip drive and could convert it to cd or dvd for you, and then format the disc. You might still want to hulk smash after that, but that'd be your prerogative.

I've got the data, so that's fine. Thanks! Could you use the disks? I'd trust you to reformat.
