1. Download and install Audacity and Lame for Audacity (lame is only required if you want to save the songs as MP3 files)
2. Start Audacity and click record
3. Start playing the music at Pandora
4. Try to record long enough to have complete songs, you can record as many songs as you like in the same file (as HD space allows), you can split them later
5. Push Stop in Audacity at anytime
6. To split the recording in multiple songs, follow these directions (if you want to keep it as-is, just choose File – Export):
   1. Click to place the cursor at the start of the first song.
   2. Choose “Add Label at Selection” from the Project menu. If you wish, you can type the name of the song.
   3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each song.
   4. When you are finished, choose “Export Multiple” from the File menu. When you click the “Export” button, Audacity will save each song as a separate file, using the format and location you choose.(if you choose MP3 output, it will ask you for Lame’s DLL which is located in “c:\Program Files\Lame for Audacity\” if you use Windows)
7. Done!

Note: it might not be the easiest way right now to rip music from online radio, but it is the one that is the most likely to still work tomorrow.

Another option would be to use an Home Theater PC (HTPC), more expensive but also more versatile.

Could not launch Adobe Reader 9.1.2. Please make sure it exists in PATH variable in the environment. If the problem persists, please reinstall the application..

I fixed it by creating a “.profile” file in my home directory (/home/user/.profile) with the following line:

export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/apps/acrobatreader/Adobe/Reader9/bin/

Note: You might need to adapt acrobat reader’s binary path.

#!/bin/sh
export LD_PRELOAD="/usr/lib/libGL.so.1"
/home/alexb/apps/firefox/firefox
chmod +x start_firefox
./start_firefox

Another solution is to disable the hardware acceleration in Flash (probably a bad solution):

1. Right click on the embedded Flash window inside Firefox (flash video)
2. Settings…
3. go to the first tab
4. un-check “Enable hardware acceleration”

Now you should be able to go full screen…

Here is the version of the software I was using.

• Flash v10,0,15,3
• Firefox 3.0.5 and 3.5.2
• NVIDIA video driver 180.22
• Kernel 2.6.27.7-smp

72 Hr. Disaster Kit – Adult

It’s still worth a try, play now.
