Converter - Audionote to MP3

Convert audionote to mp3

Hi everyone! Nice to see you on blog again! In this post, I am going to write a tutorial about how to convert files with extension .audionote to .mp3. I have just found out this step yesterday and found it useful so I want to share it here. I try it on Win7 and haven’t tested it in other OS but I think it shall work universal.
.audionote is an Apple recording file’s extension. Just like some other Apple’s extensions, this extension cannot simply be played on non-Apple devices and it is pretty hard to find software to convert it to another type of sound extension like .mp3. This tutorial might be useful if you need to share a recording file (your teacher’s presentation, workshop, phone call with your girlfriend (kidding), etc.) from your Apple device to be played to another non-Apple device in very simple steps. Here it goes:
1. Open the folder containing your .audionote file. Make sure you can see your file’s extension. If it is not shown, you can follow these additional steps:
a. Go to Control Panel
b. Click Appearance and Personalization
c. Click Folder Options
d. On tab View, uncheck Hide extensions for known file types
e. OK
2. Press F2 or right click - rename on your file. Rename the .audionote to .rar (or .zip).
3. Right click again and extract your .rar file.
4. After the extraction, you will have some files as above. The file you will convert next is the one with .caf extension (actually it is play-able already in some music software).
5. Convert your .caf file to .mp3 using sound converter software or online converter website. I am using http://media.io/
6. Enjoy your new recording file! Now you can play it on your Windows PC, Android, Blackberry, and other players.
Hope it works and helpful for you. If you have questions or found error related to this tutorial, please let me know by leaving comment below or contact me via email. Thanks for reading and have a good day.

Eclipse - Add HTML Editor Plugin

How to add an HTML Editor for Eclipse

I started using Eclipse to work with PhoneGap(Cordova). However, editing HTML files in Eclipse was not nice - it felt similar to using Windows notepad.  I found the following information on stackoverflow about adding a HTML editor: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/54868/what-is-the-best-html-editor-for-eclipse 
This post details the instructions for adding Web Page Editor to your installation of Eclipse (if it wasn't installed with your version initially). It is really simple, but I've detailed it out anyway.

I'm using Eclipse Juno (SDK Version 4.2.0). It's probably a similar process in other versions. 

1. Go to Help --> Install New Software...

 2. Select the Juno repository (http://download.eclipse.org/releases/juno/) from the 'Work with:' menu:

3. In the search box, enter 'web' to filter the results, and select 'Web Page Editor':
4. Click Next:
5. Accept the terms and click Finish:
6. Wait for the install to run:
7. You might see this - just click OK:
8. Click Yes when ready:



Now that you have finished installing this, and restarted, you might notice that none of the text in your existing html files has changed colour in the editor as you might expect. I wasn't sure how to adjust this, so thanks to balla85 for figuring this out for me. All you need to do is go to the Window --> Preferences menu as shown:


Then for both *.htm and *.html, click on the 'HTML Editor' in the window below and click the 'Default' and 'OK' to apply. The result should be similar to below:


Anyway that was pretty easy wasn't it? Now get working!
