* `it-style`: can find and set the genre in a track in iTunes (along with its Ruby helper), using the Discogs database (you need an API key, set $DISCOGS_API_TOKEN in your profile). Usage: click/play a track in iTunes, and run the program.

* `mdvl`: markdown renderer in Python
+* `medium_reader.rb`: create a simplified Medium article and open it in a browser. Pass the URL as argument, or run interactively.

* `mp3tagger.jar`: a Java application to tag MP3 files
