People having trouble with vz bouncing email to me should add the word
'online' between the 'verizon', and the dot which bypasses vz's
stupid bounce rules. I do use spamassassin too. :-)

Interesting. Maybe someone has convinced them that there is profit in
mass production. For a barebones license 5+ years ago, it was $25k
they were asking. They obviously still don't want to deal in tensies
though.
Thanks for the links.

http://www.mp3licensing.com/royalty/software.html Hi
I have read several comments about ogg format & Windoze & want to
highlight what seems a very well kept secret. There is a brilliant
& tiny (592kb!) open source media player for Windoze called
coolplayer. It runs straight from the binary
without need for installation. If you want to stick to an open
music format it is very easy for anyone to obtain. The bottom line
is folks, anyone can easily & freely have a means of playing ogg
files on a windoze box.
The url is http://coolplayer.sourceforge.net/ & the zip file
download is only 318kb.
Hope you do not feel this is OT as it concerns sharing music in an
open format.
Personally I think it's a losing battle to ask Windows users to use
anything but WMP. Like it or not MP3 is the standard. We need to
make MP3 "Just Work" on Linux.
MP3 is not a "closed format" it just has some patent issues (which
may not be issues at all). I find it
amusing that so many people who won't use MP3 due to its
"encumbrance" will happily run the proprietary Nvidia driver...
