Tom Cruise Crazy MP3
After my previous post with ukulele girl sweetafton23 doing her rendition of John Coulton's Tom Cruise Crazy, I had a couple people ask about whether or not I could turn it into an MP3 for them.
Well for those who have asked, here it is. I would remind you that it's simply a YouTube rip so the audio quality is only as good as the (YouTube) source, but it's good enough for my own listening pleasure and even as a ringtone if you like :-). For those of you interested in how I did it, the steps are below. I used the following programs which should be available in all major Linux distribution trees: youtube-dl (MIT), lame (LGPL), and mplayer (GPL).
$ youtube-dl http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRvm0PfayR8 $ mkfifo /tmp/pipe.wav $ lame /tmp/pipe.wav TomCruiseCrazy.mp3
At which point I opened another terminal and ran this:
$ mplayer -ao pcm:file=/tmp/pipe.wav /home/daniel/pRvm0PfayR8.flv
