It looks like WMP 9 installs and plays MP3 files, but that's about it: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=1449 However it seems to be somewhat better in Crossover Office: http://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/browse/name/?app_id=472;tips=1 -- joseph lockhart said: (summarized) > Processor : Intel Celeron 2.60GHz > Memory : 247MB (217MB used) > OS : Ubuntu 7.10 (to be replaced by Etch) Wine Version : ??? I am still not sure why wine would be a major resource hog on your machine. In general, I would say you could use more RAM (at least another 256 would be a good starting point). But that doesn't help if wine eats all that memory and/or your processor time. Wine seems to have a lot of "churn"; the best thing is often to try a different version, maybe even an older one. -- as far as accompaniment tracks, are they in wma format? Can you get what you need from Amazon's unencumbered MP3 store or someplace similar? I don't know what you need, but I do know that sometimes the best solution to a problem is to change the problem.
