Java

There’s a good chance that you will have a gnu version of the java runtime running. You probably want to use the Sun version; this is easily done with:

sudo update-alternatives --config java

...and choose the sun version.

MP3 support in sound juicer

I think to be legally savvy, sound juicer leaves out mp3 support. Stupid!! Add the profile below using the preferences dialog.

audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc bitrate=160 ! id3v2mux

Useful Commands

apt-cache search <name>
dpkg-reconfigure <name>
