Actually, MusicMatch streams CD quality music.  You have to subscribe to it,
but it's only $3 a month. I never could get MusicMatch for Linux to work
properly though.  I've used XMMS for listening to internet radio at
Live365.com, but it's not that great of quality. Windows MediaPLayer works
under Crossover too, same story though, no source for the high bandwidth
music just internet radio. I guess a solution is to create a playlist with a
huge number of mp3's and just shuffle it every now and then for some
variety.

Would be kind of slow, dontcha think?  Ogg Vorbis (use XMMS) can get
closer to CD quality than MP3, but most streams don't use the highest
quality because of bandwidth.  At home I do stream Ogg files so I can
listen to my music at different workstations in the house, but even
though it's just across my LAN I still use the "standard" quality.  At
least with my speakers I can't tell the difference.

I have the OpenOffice.org 641d installation CD's if you like.  Linux and
Windows, will open from and save to Office 2000 or earlier (everything
but Access of course).  Source code is also on the CD if you are running
something else.  641d is the last "beta" distribution before
OpenOffice.org 1.0 is released.


Cheers,

James
