Greetings,
I tried to re-sample an MP3 file from 64kbps to 320kbps :
ffmpeg -i file.mp3 -ac 2 -b 320k new-file.mp3
but the resulting file always comes out at 64kbps.
What's the trick to doing this right?

Hi;
Is there any known problems with the Logitech diNovo Keyboard for
Notebooks. I have googled and don't seem to find anything applicable.
Any suggestions welcome. If I can't get it working I am going to have
to return it on Monday. I kind of like the style and reviews.

I agree that 3 primaries don't need to be used before an extended partition
is created for logical volumes (I've done 1 primary and 1 extended before,
too), but why is there no /sda4 ?
