  • Music: Technology is amazing!! Check this out!

    Steps:

    1) Save the image to your PC
    2) Open up image with something like Photoshop/GIMP (if it prompts you, just choose the 'discard layers' option)
    3)Save the image as a .raw file (headers=0, if asked to specify)
    4)Rename that image to .mp3 and open in your audio player of choice

      Neat trick.
      I recognize the song, but can't remember the name. Rick Astley sings it.
      Here's the converted file.

        So I guess they put a png header in front of an mp3 file and changed the extension? I don't have any app that can save as a raw.

          Never Gonna Give You Up. Sadly, it seems to be making the rounds on youtube and other sites disguised as any number of other songs. It's supposedly funny. Hmmmm....nope.

            What the hell?! I'm using Firefox 3 and it had a little tab in the bottom left of my screen. I clicked play and the Rick Astley song played. That is sweet! No conversions or anything.

                I'm gonna check that out. I haven't used FF much because the blurry text, especially in forums, gives me a headache. I was hoping FF3 would've solved the issue.

                  It probably did that because the link I posted in the thread to the converted MP3.
                  FF can't do RAW conversions on the fly.

                    Version 3 has a new way of rendering fonts. Other than that, I don't see many improvements over version 2, to be honest.

                      Yeah I find it a lot easier to read than version 2.

                        Still blurry as hell for me. I've been looking to see if there's anything I can do about it, but most of what I'm finding only applies if you're running Linux.
