Worse, I had something corrupt my windows setup, and had to re-install -- but kept my program files directory. After re-installing OpenMG Jukebox, it wouldn't work at all, saying I had to run the verifier program while connected to the internet - but I don't have any internet connectivity from the windows install on my lappie! Was very annoying, but eventually figured out that deleteing some stuff in the common files directory would do the trick, as well as deleteing and reinstalling omg jukebox again. Needless to say, there was a short period with a lot of bad karma being broadcast towards Sony, during the time when I couldn't download anything new to the NetMD! Reasons like *that* are why I want a decent Linux version! -Toby PS. Does anyone actually use my Perl module? Just kinda curious..
