		<title>Ubuntu Linux under vmware: network interfaces</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m quite busy with VMware these days. I actually believe VMware&#8217;s dogma &#8220;the virtual machine is more robust and qualitatively better than the physical machine&#8221; is correct.
However, after installing two VM&#8217;s running Ubuntu Linux to do some failover testing, I noticed something odd about the numbering of the network interfaces. Good old eth0 was missing. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cover art resizing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the more heated debates involving audio tags is: do you organize your files using one directory for every album and put the cover art into a single file into that album (&#8217;folder.jpg&#8217;) or do you embed the cover art into the tags of each and every file? Myself, I embed it into all [...]]]></description>

		<title>Digital audio players: iTunes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ITunes
Note: this article was originally posted on April 11th, 2007. Some of the mentioned extensions are no longer compatible with later iTunes versions.
Why?
ITunes is Apple&#8217;s audio player with versions for both Mac and PC. You can say a lot of things about it:

It always seems to &#8216;know better&#8217;
It is limited in supported playback formats
It feels a bit [...]]]></description>

		<title>MP3 compression settings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A lot of misconceptions exist about audio compression. Bear in mind that the whole idea behind it is to store digital audio but not have it take up too much space on your hard drive. Uncompressed audio is in wav format. You can compress it in 2 ways:

Lossless compression: no information is lost, compression is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tagging audio files</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

There are a few ways I can think of for an audio player to show you all relevant information (artist, title, release year, &#8230;) about an audio file.

derive it on-the-fly from the filename.

disadvantages:

only a limited amount of fields can be entered before file names become too long
changing a field would require you to rename the [...]]]></description>

		<title>I Want To Call You My Bitch</title>
		<description><![CDATA[you my bitch
I was listening to the radio today and hear this song&#8230;which seemed to consist of only 10 words&#8230;(and that&#8217;s making an effort since I&#8217;m counting the word &#8216;I&#8217; and am counting &#8220;you&#8217;re&#8221; as 2 words&#8230;)
Intrigued, I looked up the lyrics and for sure, there it was:

		<title>CBC News: Kazaa mounts Betamax defence</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It never ceases to amaze me how companies (well, companies) such as this seem to think they have a case. They don&#8217;t. It&#8217;s amazing these things even manage to get into court.
I&#8217;m not saying that there&#8217;s no legitimate use for peer-to-peer services. (only the name, peer-to-peer&#8230;please&#8230;as if this is something new&#8230;Think back to the windows [...]]]></description>
