First off, I feel that I must apologize for the lack of posts lately. I had previously been running Ubuntu Linux 8.04, but as I had been having issues, I backed up my data, wiped my drives, and installed Gentoo Linux in its stead.
Recently I updated the kernel on my Ubuntu Linux 8.04 (Hardy Heron) box from 2.6.24-22 to 2.6.24-23 and, after a reboot, my sound quit working. No sound means no music. 🙁
A couple of weeks ago I stumbled across imeem which, like Last.fm, provides music and videos for online perusal. There seems to be more music on imeem than on Last.fm, but Last.fm provides useful services which I went over in a previous post.
iTunes runs under Wine, albeit rather slowly. I can attest to this as I have personally installed in on the Ubuntu 8.04 64-bit partition on my office computer using the newest stable version of Wine. I have not tried the store, but DAAP (the protocol that allows iTunes to share music with other computers) works flawlessly. Music plays without skipping or lag, but scrolling through your library can take an exceedingly long time.
