and the "audio converter" for node.js i just installed... literally doesn't convert files between formats? i just looked at the source code and found it uselessly converts the file to base64 and then back to bits again??

what a night

zsh: file public/cry/1.mp3          
public/cry/1.mp3: Ogg data, Vorbis audio, mono, 32728 Hz, ~86000 bps, created by: Xiph.Org libVorbis I (1.3.4)
