my laptop that runs GNU/Linux Debian/Sarge in the command line only mode. But over the holidays there was and update to wxpython that gets the GUI working.

This is what you need to do:

$ alien –to-deb ipodder-1.1.2-1cl.noarch.rpm
$ sudo dpkg -i ipodder_1.1.2-2_all.deb
$ export PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/wx-2.5.3-gtk2-unicode:$PYTHONPATH-unicode:$PYTHONPATH
$ /opt/iPodder/iPodderGui.py

and enjoy…

I’ve burned them into CD for the drive home and this weekend the older boys wanted a copy for their CD player. My favorite so far is retrogressive2.mpg, but drDave_MiniMix_I.mp3 is bopping too.

Check it out: [Dr Dave's Blog](http://unknowngenius.com/blog) (Hint: navigate over to the Online Empire section on the right side)

Thanks for the hours of tunes drDave!

Cool way to find out about new music that you might like!

It appears that this morning that their webserver is a bit overloaded and have noticed that song transitions are sometimes very slow. I’m also behind a proxy, so that may add to the overhead.
