Mandriva 2006 is to be the first Linux distro to offer built in online music service. The service will compete with the likes of emusic.com for the music business of Linux users. I have not used Mindawn before, but the service is offered in Ogg Vorbis and FLAC.

Sweet. Now mabye hardware manufacturers will have more incentive to include OGG support in their players.

I wonder how much for a FLAC album.
Would be nice to convert my 128k mp3 over to flac and I wonder what sort of music aswell will it be just modern stuff or what?

You cant be serious. You cant be talking about converting MP3 to FLAC.

Perhaps 'convert' was meant to say 'replace'?

I tried the service on my wife's mac today, but couldn't get it to download a demo song... I'll try later on my Ubuntu box. Maybe their servers were just overloaded. I'm a fan of Indie music, even though you usually have to wade through a lot of crap to find the gems. (Celldweller rocks)

they have also deb and kubuntu package and also a binary. But I couldn't login with the GUI. You can check my blog entry (http://ralph.n3rds.net/index.php?/archives/153-Mindawn-Online-Music-Service-with-linux-support.html) about it.

Mindawn (http://www.mindawn.com) i think is a great idea.
I think would be by default installed in ubuntu/kubuntu Dapper Drake.

Another question , how much money of the sell of this music going to xiph Foundation? These Company should donate money to speed the development of xiph projects.
