USB File Transfer Each session's raw data and video can be easily copied from your iPhone ®, iPad ®, or Android ™ device when connected to your computer via a USB cable. No, I was not trying to annoy you, or insult was trying to show you that if you did it that way, that it would create folders on the CD that you burned, Artist folder, then an Album folder, then tracks.

Mac OS X, Sed, and strange document encoding
You’re on Mac OS X (somewhere around 10.7.5) and you’re using the sed command to replace characters from the latin1 or Windows-1252 character encoding with their utf8 equivalents. Unfortunately you get an error like the following:
Luckily you’re not alone!
This happened to me while working on HamDecks, a small project that creates Mnemosyne decks to help you study for the Amateur Radio Operator exams using questions from the official ARRL Question pools. The source question pool files (Technician, General, Extra) though have some problems… There’s a lot of characters with strange/exotic encoding in the ARRL pool files that could not be imported into Mnemosyne. That’s how I got myself into this whole mess in the first place.
The stackoverflow link above makes two suggestions:
- Use the iconv utility
- Use a PERL one-liner
Your Mileage May Vary, but neither of those suggestions worked for me. So what did work then?
Once again, we will visit our system locale settings.
Here’s what worked for the HamDecks project:
Instead of just prefixing the sed command with LANG=C, we prefix it with LANG=C LANG_ALL=C. I’m not saying this is a silver bullet, just that it worked for me and might work for you too.
