Vortex, here's the wikipedia entry on the Free Lossless Audio Codec (.flac) and it lists a bunch of compatible software, I'm sure on of them can convert to .mp3 if you need.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Vortex, Mac or PC?
Here are a couple of ways of doing it, although there may be other conversions out there.

Coding and Sleeping
Anyone use Firefox 3 and Vista? I use Firefox 3 at home with Ubuntu and XP and it works perfectly. At work with Vista, it is a crashfest, even with all add-ins and themes removed. I'm lucky if I can make 6 clicks without Firefox crashing. Ironically, the crash reporting tool also errors out. I've reverted to Firefox 2 since it is a rock of stability.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I'm trying to learn more about photography. People tell me I have a knack for it, but I feel extremely ignorant about most aspects of it.
It doesn't help, though, that photographers measure things in different units than everyone else does.
I was looking at a camera, that said it had a sensor size of 1/1.7". WTF is that supposed to mean? I found this page, which is the only thing that was even remotely coherent, and I still don't have a clue. It's very frustrating.

I don't really know a lot about digital photography myself, Scola, but I know (as the page says) that sensor size relates to how the camera captures the image. In digital cameras, the film is replaced by a chip and sensor that captures the image exposed through the shutter.
I don't know how sensor size relates to all that, other than presumably a larger sensor captures more luminance (light/brightness) data, if nothing else. I would bet that sensor size doesn't have too much effect on how much chrominance (color) data the sensor captures.

I just want to know how big the damn sensor is.

T-Mobile is opening a new store in my neighborhood. In honor of this, they have informed me that I am pre-approved for a new phone plan, which comes with a free, $70 Samsung flip-phone.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Tom, there are a million things to learn before that need come in useful. Are you camera-shopping?

Wish I could help you Tom, but I still use a completely manual film camera!
I was thinking of converting to digital and borrowed my housemate's digital point and shoot for my trip down the coast. Since the battery died after just a few pictures, it only made me appreciate my old camera more.
