And the phone is such a high-fidelity player, huh?

She bought rather than stole these songs. This is the reward. Friends have 
pirated mp3's galore.

These files ARE mp3's. Such files would normally have a "magic number' 
identifying them. Since vi can edit anything as long as one does not change 
its length (I have used it to modify magic stuff in compile .ko's for 
example), maybe it be possible to use it to place appropriate magic into these 
files?
