I've recently got a vinyl cutter, and so have gone down the path of trying things out. I bought some software to use with it, and played with a few drivers and boom, it worked... until the other day. Yesterday, I thought I'd swap things over to my laptop on High Sierra. Suddenly, the cutter... Continue Reading →
Firstly, I didn't create this, I've just making it easy to understand with a full example. You can read more of it here, but only because of archive.org. To begin, download this library from here: http://getid3.sourceforge.net/ when you open the zip folder, you'll see 'getid3'. Save that folder in to your working folder. Next, create...

I got in to the recovery part as well, and was able to do a... Continue Reading →
