For quite a while, I had the error “The application “Audacity.app” can’t be opened.” and Audacity still opening. Clicking the OK button often enough made me hunt for the solution:
This is what I did:
$ cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/audacity
$ grep Temp audacity.cfg
TempDir=/Users/jeroenp/Library/Application Support/audacity/SessionData
Then I checked if the directory existed:

“Het lijkt mij zo leuk als de Soulshow nog één keer te horen is. Ouderwets op donderdagavond”
En daar was ie dan: [WayBack] Soulshow eenmalig terug op NPO Radio 2 – Nieuwsbericht – NPO Radio 2.
Als de player niet werkt: hier is de mp3.
Via [WayBack] NPO Radio 2 on Twitter “Donderdag kwam Ferry Maat langs voor één uur lang Soulshow in @Wout2Day. Luister het hele uur hier terug: https://t.co/zo7ujYC1Cm #NPORadio2… https://t.co/lMMU4jww0R”
Wat media aandacht:
en nog meer twitter onder de handtekening..
En natuurlijk 24 uur per dag: [WayBack] Home – Soulshow Radio
Welkom op Soulshow Radio. Ferry Maat’s legendarische radioprogramma met soul-, funk- en discomuziek is 24 uur per dag te beluisteren. Kijk en luister direct op Soulshow.nl

Even for Geeks like me, this is a great on-line tool for converting media files: [WayBack/Archive] Zamzar – video converter, audio converter, image converter, eBook converter
Thanks Matijn for pointing me to this.
And for nerds there is ffmpeg:
for name in *.ogg; do ffmpeg -i "$name" -ab 128k -map_meta_data 0:0,s0 "${name/.ogg/.mp3}"; done;

The first method I try for any Apple TV issue is to reset the device (Hold the Play & Menu button simultaneously on the remote for 6 seconds)
Source: [Wayback] Fix Apple TV No Sound Issue – AppleTV2
This usually works for me too and is easier/faster than fiddling with the solutions mentioned at Wayback: Apple TV: HDMI audio stops working – Apple Support (which now has moved to [Wayback] Get help with audio, video, or power on Apple TV – Apple Support).
After releasing Play&Menu buttons, wait for the Apple TV to reboot itself and listen if your remote-buttons will give you audio-feedback from the Apple TV. If that works, then audio on multi-media works fine too.
This is way cheaper than putting additional hardware in the HDMI chain as described in [Wayback] The fix for AppleTV HDMI audio and video woes and HDMI problem solving | The Poor Audiophile
In my setup the [Wayback] Apple TV 3rd generation is hooked up to a [Wayback] Harman Kardon BDS 580 receiver/blue-ray-player.

A friend of mine made the mistake to capture some CDs using WMA files and throwing away the CDs. His old Nokia could play them, but not his new iOS and Android devices.
ffmeg and bash to the rescue:
find . -iname "*.wma" -execdir bash -c 'NAME="{}" && ffmpeg -y -i "$NAME" -ab 192k "${NAME/.wma/.mp3}" -map_metadata 0:s:0 && rm "$NAME"' \;

Every now and then I want to download or play a (fragment of a) YouTube video.
This is what I use to grab the video as music: YouTube to MP4 & MP3 Converter and Video Download – ClipConverter.cc
Then I use Audacity to create fragments.

Since G+ is very bad at searching, I created this summary of the tools; read the full G+ post (Google Translate is quite OK), including comments on why.
Edit: 20160402 – I’m posting regular updates based on the comments for that G+ post. I’ve changed or added German iTunes store links to US-English ones.
