I’m at work and I was facing a frustrating problem, I wanted to convert an aif formatted audio file into an mp3. On my laptop, I have a program to do this, but I couldn’t remember it’s name and the laptop is at home.

I need an mp3 because I need to test out audio players. I’m going to upload the audio to blip.tv and see what their video player does for audio.

But I couldn’t get the freaking garageband created podcast into an mp3. 15 minutes with google didn’t help.

Twitter to the rescue. For those of you who balk at joining twitter because it’s just another social network, when was the last time a social network pulled a group of friends together to help you out?

Thanks to my friends on twitter for helping me get out of a jam!
