Yeah, I like music soooo much ;) Here’s a nice article on how to convert an .ape (Monkey’s Audio file) to either MP3 or Ogg formats.

I used the cueape.sh script, and to be honest, it does the work pretty well!

Just found out this nice post http://liquidat.wordpress.com/2007/12/03/short-tip-convert-ogg-file-to-mp3/ showing how to convert ogg files to mp3. Had to apply some changes to the command line, so here it is (just in case you need it like I did):
[code] for file in *.ogg;do oggdec -o - "$file"|lame --vbr-new -h -V 4 - - "$(basename "$file" .ogg).mp3";done[/code]
The only flaw is that music tags (artist, album, etc) get lost in the process. There must be a way to maintain them in the mp3 file, but I haven’t had the time to play with it yet …

I’ve been trying to find a nice way for printing chm files in book style – no lucky!
Both Xchm and Kchmviewer are very good programs for viewing chm files in the computer, but they lack the ability to print whole documents at once (if some one knows how to do that with these apps, please drop a comment/email/whatever :D)
Then I came to know this great project – chm2pd. Just get it, install it with its dependencies (very easy, just follow the steps in the README that comes with the source code) and you’re ready to go! Convert your chm files to pdf and print them as you please.
