While the windoze version is well spoken of, what commentary I've sofar heard
about the Linux version (not a lot) is that it's not worth running.  Big
Problem #1 would be that it runs using winelib, rather than being a native
port; that makes it Big and Slow (tm), much more forgivable in an office suite
(where we have the Redmond kingship of big slowness striding ahead) than an
mp3 player, which is supposed to be a little fast efficient thing you stick in
the corner or on a panel somewhere.

I'll still give it a try, but at 13MB or so it'll be when I remember just
before bed some night to download the thing.
