    when it plays ogg, runs on linux, is devoid of patents, is open source, is GPLed and can first post for me.

      In all seriousness, there seems to be some misconception that iTunes can't play ogg files. Well, I'm not sure about on the the Mac or the PC, but there is a plugin for Amiga that. . . .no, wait. Damn!

    Hey, here's a hint - If you load iTunes and hit that button that looks liek a triangle on its side - you can now play your "worthless" AAC files!

    Man that must have been frustrating downloading all those songs and not knowing what to do next. Once you learn this "triangle trick" you might find you are able to play music on all sorts of things you couldn't before!! Those shiny discs at Target? They all have music on them as well as it turns out, once you slip them into that funny looking box in the middle of your car that until now has only emitted the tortured sounds of radio DJ's.

    No need to thank me for opening the wide world of music to you.

    You hit the nail on the head. If linux is ever to succeed on the desktop, the distros will have to agree upon one common set of libraries and a common default window manager

    I agree. And that Window Manager should be BlackBox! What's that? You want KDE? And someone else wants Gnome? Ratpoison?
