One of the few things I keep Winbloze around for is mp3s. If you have bloze machine, look at dbpoweramp. It has a lot of great features. Or you might be able to run it with Wine. I haven't tried that.

dBpowerAMP is one of those programs that is so simple and useful you can't live without, but somehow nobody seems to have created a Linux alternative to it.
I can report that it does work fine in WINE though, I use it very often on my desktop here. The interface looks a little crazy under WINE, and the initial file selection is very slow for some reason, but the actual conversion is plenty fast, and I don't recall ever having it crash on me while it was converting.

Thanks for letting us know it runs on Wine. That is good news.
I agree with you, it would be great if somebody would port the whole suite. I don't like any of the Linux music players (not meaning to start a thread on this topic) but at least the dbpoweramp conversions and codecs and all that great stuff would make life more simpler in Linux-land.
