Commenter Chris points out that my previous instructions assumed a 32-bit version of Fedora. And he is correct; the Amazon MP3 downloader is a 32-bit application. I see no reason it shouldn’t work on a 64-bit OS, provided the 32 bit version of certain libraries are present; these are the libs of interest:
libgtkmm-2.4.so.1 => [...]
A music video, from Michelle Malone’s latest, greatest album, titled Debris:
Already been to Amazon to snag the MP3 album; I’ll buy the physical CD direct from the source as well. We have an imminent Search for America Tour, or I’d have ordered it today. There is no buying direct from the source like there [...]
Amazon was less than understanding about my request for source code for their MP3 downloader. They were prompt and courteous in their response; that alone is rare. They don’t release source, and gosh, why don’t I use a Fedora release on which the downloader has been tested? Well, first, because it’s Fedora 9, two releases [...]
I saw this FriendFeed post from Dave earlier, and his post about The Band. I always liked The Band; even though the $1.99 Amazon special on the greatest hits album that Dave references appears to have expired, I thought this may be a good day to stock up on some good tunage.
I’ve downloaded MP3s [...]

Academy of Country Music Awards: An overhyped, overamped, overproduced teevee production, wherein Country Music is not sung.

Dewey Martin, drummer for Buffalo Springfield, one of my all-time favorite bands, has passed away at age 68. Buffalo Springfield, or “Buffy” as some 60’s DJs used to call them, had only a 3 record long discography. But what records they were. The news reports of Martin’s passing referred to “Buffy” as rock pioneers, [...]

Charles Hardin Holley: September 17, 1936 – February 3, 1959.
Richard Steven Valenzuela: May 13, 1941 – February 3, 1959.
Jiles Perry Richardson, Jr.: October 24, 1930 – February 3, 1959.
Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and the Big Bopper all taken from us in an instant. I was alive when it happened, but too young to appreciate [...]

Man, oh man. I finally found the long-lost Guess Who #10 at Amazon. Eight 99-cent downloads later, and I’m listening to it on Songbird, a free, Mozilla-based mp3 player with an excellent iTunes-like interface.
I loved this album; I had a copy long ago; it’s either in vinyl, or worse-yet, 8-track purgatory. I still know [...]

While I was mucking about on my 64-bit Fedora system this afternoon, I wanted to get all the needed FireFox plugins working in 64-bit land; that of course includes Adobe Flash. As a test of the newly installed Flash, I found this little ditty on YouTube, which I present for your listening pleasure:
A new [...]
