Yay!
I finally found a decent newsreader for linux… it’s actually the one I tried the first time… “Pan” …but this time I went through rpm hell to install a beta build, and it has everything that I need… and it’s a lot faster than running Grabit through WINE. W00t.
I also found a great mp3 tagger/retagger/renamer/mover. It’s called “mp3 tag tool” :-) …I’m not sure which version of the tags it puts into the mp3s.. as I haven’t booted back to windows yet to verify… but at least it does a vast majority of the work… renames them to my format and also conveniently will move them into a directory structure that I choose as well.
So, amongst the bad, this is a good thing. :-D I like finding suitable replacements for windows applications, it’s just nearly impossible sometimes.
