split_keep.py - A simple python function for splitting a string by multiple “splitters”, remembering the splitter used each time.
What it does: Takes a string and a list of splitters and splits the string by each of them. Basically, returns a list containing all of the splitters found in the input string, along with all of the characters found between them.
soundstretch.sh - A silly shell script for recursively finding mp3 files and making copies that are sped up +40%.
What it does: Recursively searches for mp3s* in a given GETDIR, making faster copies in the same relative location in a copy of the directory tree rooted in the PUTDIR specified.
* Will skip over files with the extension .fast.mp3, so as to not speed songs up twice.
Key line:
find "$GETDIR"
-type f \( -iname "*.mp3" -a ! -iname "*.fast.mp3" \)
-exec bash -c 'convertFile "{}" "$PUTDIR" $FORCE $VERBOSE' ';'

I updated my script to take start/end dates and a number of composers to print results for as (optional) arguments from the command line, and wrapped the functionality inside a class.
To test it out, I made it fetch data going back to the first day I could find archives for, May 12th, 2010. The results are similar to the results for this year, with more shifting at the bottom of the list.
