Hi Mark

I can't actually remember that part of our conversation, but I guess I 
probably mentioned 'Banshee' 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banshee_(music_player) or Rythmnbox.

Amarok is nice, but always used too much CPU/Memory for me. I haven't 
tried it recently tho'.

I read that with Banshee (mentioned in this months Linux Format - its a 
Mono Application), you can rip a CD whilst listening to it. This didnt 
work for me, unless they're talking about a bit newer version ....

Cheers

Julian
