  • My tech skills are rusting horribly but I tried to briefly take a look at this…

    I’m seeing the same behavior with the Firefox save-as file extension being .m4a vs the displayed URL showing .mp3.

    Opening either extension in VLC and viewing the codec info (Tools->Codec Info / Ctrl+J) shows the actual encoding to be ‘MPEG AAC Audio (mp4a)’.

    I didn’t try grabbing a file from the torrent, but if I use the media tab in Firefox ‘Page Info’ (Ctrl+I) to “save as” the embedded IA player file it suggests a matching .mp3 extension with the displayed address (but the codec is still mp4a).

    The main thing I’m not following is what you mean by having parse errors in Mp3tag. So far I haven’t seen any metadata included in either the .mp3 or .m4a downloads (I only tested the first file), they both play audio fine, and if I browse to their directory in Mp3tag (vers. 2.57) it doesn’t seem to show anything unusual to me (empty metadata, no error/alert messages). What exactly is the parse error or how is it behaving differently from what’s expected?


    I also just wanted to say “THANK YOU!” for an awesome support post. You posted it to the right community, gave it a short but very descriptive title, gave lots of info about what you’ve tried and the results you’ve experienced – and did so politely :)

    I’ve had a cheap picture very similar to this for a long time. Unless the original artist used a pseudonym I’m assuming it’s an unlicensed knockoff. Signature looks like “Jons/Jones[?] 91.” I won’t link to it, but I found an eBay listing for it and the seller said they won it at an amusement park so that’s probably where I got mine.

    Sorry for low-quality scan, tried to fix blurriness but no luck so far.




  • Not worried about saving face, my reply was more a rebuttal to yours re: “Lemmy when every minor detail isn’t included” etc. I would think the perpetrator’s name would be more important than the caliber and manufacturer of the firearm; e.g. “GOP Politician Don Wilson Leaves a Loaded Pistol in the Bathroom” imparts more key information than the one used - and even the fact is was loaded isn’t surprising since it being left in the bathroom implies it is used for self-defense and would likely be loaded. There is the possibility that it was some prop used for demonstration that was accidentally left there which would (hopefully) be unloaded so it’s not a strictly extraneous detail to include so that alone I don’t take issue with.

    My issue is just specifying it was Glock and 9mm in the headline was simply because of the public’s familiarity with the words but not what they mean necessarily [the most popular handgun in the most popular caliber] and was intended to make the scenario sound even more scary. I used the three examples to point out that they would likely report the other scenarios as simply ‘left vehicle parked illegally’, omit the clothing and briefcase composition regarding the shoplifting, and not specify the brand of beer or its unsurprising temperature and form factor in the parking lot drinking.

    Sure, get specific in the body to accurately describe the facts, but the headline isn’t meaningfully changed by omitting those points so I don’t think they were needed.
