As for your music, it's the same problem with Ubuntu. In Dapper and Edgy, you have to download extra xine codecs off of their multiverse repository. You can't just get mp3 support out of the box. I think there is something larger than Microsoft and Novell going on with these formats and patents. I don't think it's rational to get mad at Novell over our misfortunes. It's just a Linux thing, not a Novell thing.
I could be wrong, but I thought this had to do with copyright infringement of unlicensed music?
Not all MP3's involve copyright infringement. There are plenty of legal ones to play. Also as was previously ruled in a court (Betamax case?), as long as there is legitimate use for a device, it cannot be banned just because someone might use it illegally. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
