I haven’t tried the Linux music player Amarok, but they just added Magnatune to it as a music store (I’m on Magnatune). Pretty cool:
Amarok continues to blast ahead with release 1.4.4. We’re thrilled to be able to take our long association with Magnatune to new heights with the addition of an integrated DRM-free music store with full-length mp3 previews. Magnatune’s “we are not evil” attitude guarantees that you can purchase awesome tunes and the artist receives half of the purchase price.
Also I should probably say I’m totally loving Ubuntu. I can’t imagine using it on my main desktop, but it’s been wonderful to me after some disasters at the hands of SuSE and plain ol’ Debian. The default brown theme needs to go though.

Use KUBUNTU instead (Ubuntu with KDE). Enable at least the Universe (and Multiverse) repository option and go to town!
You’ll love it.
(I wouldn’t begin to consider Gnome a suitable desktop option either.)

PS You can enable KDE on your current setup with apt-get install kde I believe. That or kde-core…

I pretty rarely hit the desktop in Ubuntu but I may have a shot at that when I’m bored and feel like screwing stuff up.

DE isn’t the most important for a musician :)

Hi Brad!
I’m the guy who did most of the work integrating the Magnatune store into Amarok. Since I got hooked on Magnatune partly by hearing some of you music on there, I guess you can take some of the credit for this new feature :-)
Keep up the good work!

Amarok 1.4.4 is available for Kubuntu, and as it turns out, I’m in the process of downloading Kubuntu for my Mac/Intel box right now…
We’re seeing a nice sales blip thanks to Amarok!
