convert and rename audio files...

Hi All, I have just burned some c/d's with Serpentine for a friend from some itunes he owns. More than half are correctly titled but the rest are not. I have re-named a lot of the tracks from e.g. <01 track 01.M4A> to <songname .M4A> However when I open the files in any media player or burner it reverts to its initial filename or nearest whole number e.g. <unknown track 1 .ogg> or <track 1 .wav> is there some way I can force a rename that will remain? Regards John

Web-Host advice
by Ronnie Collinson 16 May '09

16 May '09

Hi, guys Im looking at putting a personal web page online, in the next few months. I have chosen the domain name I am after and plan to purchase this soon. I would perfer to use the .net suffix, but a .co.nz could be used as a fallback option. Once the website is in a state worth uploading I will go for a web-hosting company solution (depending on price)(Linux host must, wordpress support, and preference for freedom to run personal python scripts are the only real requirments) . Any one got recommendations on a company to go with.

My wireless Internet works on my laptop but not my wired broadband.
by Ron Dean 13 May '09

13 May '09

I've been down to the library and my wireless works just fine, Also if the laptop is booted off the live cd Jaunty it works correctly with the wired broadband. I ran software updates and after that the wired internet wouldn't work. On googling for solutions I have found a number of people are having similar problems but I haven't found a solution that I can get to work . Thanks to those people who replied to my original post. -- Ron Dean 2 Shannon Place Nawton Hamilton Ph 8493904

Grub and Ubuntu kernel updates
by Glenn Ramsey 10 May '09

10 May '09

Hi, On one of my machines I had an ubuntu installation on a single partition (sda3). I recently moved everything except /home onto another partition (sda6) and set up grub to boot from that partition. This was all working fine until there was a kernel update. The update reconfigured grub to try boot from the original partition, which failed, but fortunately grub lets you edit stuff before booting and I was able to fix it without too much pain. How do I fix it properly so that the next kernel update doesn't break it in the same way? Glenn -- Glenn Ramsey <glenn(a)componic.co.nz> 07 8627077 http://www.componic.co.nz

Uni Open Day thing
by John Billings 07 May '09

07 May '09

I emailed some people at the computer sci department about having a WLUG table at the open day thing. They weren't prepared to entertain that idea, but not like we were actually all that prepared to actually do it anyway. So those of you whom I talked about that with, (at the saturday workshop and committee meeting) I didn't follow up cause it's not happening. Thanks to Arthur for informing me about it anyhow. I'm going there anyhow to check it out and pick up our mail, so maybe we can organize something for next year or another event that might be more appropriate to table at. Best, John
