Unison Newsreader for Mac

Saturday, June 19th, 2010

Simply, do not buy this. It is slow and freezes regularly.

It lacks the ability to mark posts as read and is overpriced.

How to rip the audio from a youtube movie

Saturday, June 28th, 2008

(on Unix)

  1. Download the flv file with youtube-dl
  2. Extract the audio like so: 
    mplayer -dumpaudio nodame_theme.flv -dumpfile nodame_theme.mp3

    (thanks to here)

This method allowed me to rip the World In Action theme to mp3 for my ringtone… of course you could always use vixy.net.
