Vaguely reminiscent of when Marco V released a track called "C:\ del *.mp3"[0] out of frustration towards mp3 rips. Still amusing to me that he didn't quite get the command right.

I never knew that was the reason the track was named that! One of my favorites.

The other day a song called S01E02.Return.Of.The.Arsonist.720p.HDTV.x264 by Blood Command appeared in my Spotify Discover Weekly. I thought someone messed up, but no...that's the name of song!

  Mr. Robot episode names are also fun: "eps1.9_zer0-day.avi" "shutdown -r" "404 Not Found" Etc. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Mr._Robot_episodes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Mr._Robot_episodes

  Points off for not including a release group (e.g. RARBG, KOGi, STRONTRIUM, etc.)

    It's possible they just didn't want to get sued by the group for trademark infringement.

what would the correct command be on windows?

  Instead of "C:\ del .mp3", it should be "del C:\ .mp3". Edit: lol, I didn't know that we could format text with asterisks on HN. There should be an asterisk before each ".mp3", but as you can see, if I put them in it just italicizes the text in between them.

    Could've also been "C:\>del *.mp3" if they were trying to incorporate the prompt. Either way, who keeps mp3s on the root drive anyways?

    Two leading spaces is verbatim (code/literal) text: C:\ del *.mp3 Should be: del C:\ *.mp3 https://news.ycombinator.com/formatdoc https://news.ycombinator.com/formatdoc

      Cheers to you and sp332 below, it's appreciated. There's a certain irony in me chuckling over the incorrect code in the track title and then being unable to format my own text minutes later, haha.
