If you like electronic music, you obviously lurk <a href="http://getworkdonemusic.com" target="_blank">getworkdonemusic.com</a> all the time with <a href="http://jdownloader.org/" target="_blank">jDownloader</a> running, so you can copy <a href="https://soundcloud.com/mitchy-rolle/spacial-rend-mars-edition" target="_blank">the link to any nice track on the air</a> and download it, slowly aquiring a groovy selection of electronic music for the lonely train hours where you have to get work done, offline style. Sometimes, however, these tracks are in <b>wave format</b>, for reasons that are completely beyond me. A quick google search for <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=convert+WAV+to+MP3" target="_blank"><i>&raquo;convert WAV to MP3&laquo;</i></a> points you towards a huge selection of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shareware" target="_blank">shitware</a>, when it could be so much easier: Fire up <a href="http://www.videolan.org/" target="_blank">VLC, the best media player in the world</a> ((This post refers to <b>VLC media player 2.0.5 Twoflower</b>.)) and go * Media, Convert/Save (<b>Ctrl+R</b>) * Add your file to the list. * Click the button that says <b>Convert/Save</b>. * Select a destination file. * Set the profile to <b>Audio - MP3</b> and hit <b>Start</b>. Also, make sure you don't have VLC set to loop, because otherwise it'll spend the next few hours overwriting that file with the same converted MP3 again and again. True story.
