# In response to:
# http://mlomnicki.com/ruby/tricks-and-quirks/2011/02/10/ruby-tricks2.html
# Ruby 1.9.2 has some neat stuff that lets us make a readable
# alternative case statement that calls each method in turn.

# 1.9.2 features used:
#   * hashes are ordered in 1.9.2
#   * cool JSON-style hash syntax
#   * concise lambda syntax

    mp3scrape will scour any url for it's mp3 content - the script mirrors,
    never downloading the same file twice.  it does not, however, crawl a
    website for links, it simple scapes all the songs from a single page.
