## Changes

I needed to beam up the audio from a directory to Anki, as I was not able to record the audio for a virtual machine in VirtualBox with FFMPEG, for whatever reason. Instead, I created a shared folder, installed ShareX on the Windows 10 VM, recorded audio from the guest following [this guide](https://animecards.site/setupsharex/), and then saved it to the shared folder so my host could access it. This was fine, but I had to copy the file every time to Anki, which took time, and I also couldn't use a .opus container because Anki seemingly didn't support it. I had to use .ogg instead, which is older and less efficient.

ames has the handy ability to force Anki to use .opus through AnkiConnect. `ames -g` takes the `GRABDIR` parameter in the config to decide where to grab the latest `.opus`, `.ogg`, or `mp3` file from. By default, it's set to `$HOME/Downloads`, and the config contains an example of changing it to be `$HOME/Documents`.
