Chapter P: Pointers (PDF)

Sample files for ID3 tag editor

Mon, 14 Sep 2009 17:29:22 GMT

I am providing two OGG files (a form of music file) called with.ogg (that has a tag) and none.ogg (that has no tag) to test your project on. You can copy them to your directory by:

cp ~jrmst106/public/cs449/*.ogg .

The dot at the end is critical, as it represents the current directory name. Note that the files have been shrunk to fit better in your AFS quota and likely won\'t play anymore. This won\'t affect your project.
