You're right, this does sound nicer than just piping /dev/urandom to aplay. Do you have any recommended fonts?

I think it's more fun to listen to structured binary files, like this:
Quote
aplay /bin/bash
Do you know any other programs that sound good?

isometric1Actually, just go to this list and try any of the ones which have unique geometry: http://www.jave.de/figlet/fonts/overview.html (http://www.jave.de/figlet/fonts/overview.html) I got most of my fonts from that website, btw: http://www.jave.de/figlet/fonts.html (http://www.jave.de/figlet/fonts.html) You can list all the fonts on your computer by typing
mkdir skellington && cd skellington && for i in {1..23}; do curl -O https://s.4cdn.org/image/skeletons/$i.gif; done
