IMPORTANT NOTE FOR MANDRAKE USERS!

If like me you downloaded the Red Hat .bin file for J2RE, after you get the licence agreement and the yes/no choice, it only extracts an rpm, it does NOT install it. You will need to install the rpm yourself before you can use J2RE.

You probably all know that already, but I didn't

This link should solve and fix all install woes:

Don't get me wrong, I like Ogg, it sounds great, and has VBR. But----

1.) I ain't paid nothing for mp3 since, and I don't intend to, they don't know!

2.) "Suicide triggers"???
My solution. http://astalavista.box.sk

3.) I have bladeenc for Linux which is still made, and they aint bending over to kiss Fraunheifer's fat butt and neither will I.

Go Ogg, but I will not give up my mp3 until I am good and ready, I say use BOTH.

Now if Ogg decides to kick mp3 in the butt, have id3 and the other new tags, all built in and no stupid digging around in a damn config file to config it, then I will ditch mp3 totally.

But for now, my ogg and mp3 are good neighbours on my hard drive.
