I last listened to No recently listened tracks.
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.
Recently, I have discovered that I can setup presets such as rock, dance, pop, etc. on a song by song basic with iTunes. This will adjust the frequency of a song automatically each time that it is played and is a great help for tracks ripped from old AAD (analog to analog to digital) CDs that sound washed out or tinny.
I would always recommend listening to a CD before you buy it to make sure that the new song that you heard on the radio isn’t the only good track on the album. I have been burned by this many times and now actively try to avoid it.
Lately, most of the CDs that I have purchased have been used; this is a fairly major changing in my purchasing habits since I have not regularly purchased used CDs since highschool. It has also been a learning experience as places like Amazon did not exist in the early 1990’s.
