Don't believe so, though I'm no expert on these things. It works from the command line. A bummer is that you can't tell whether its actually doing anything until a file is completely downloaded. Only kppp statistics and the appearance of a new file in my music directory informed me that data was coming down. I've heard mention of a GUI but not been able to find one.

I don't use a graphical front end (couldn't find the one you mentioned) and didn't know it was working until a song was completely downloaded. What buggered it up for a while was that the songs were being downloaded to a folder owned by root and weren't being written to it. Solved for the time being by su-ing to root when I run it. cheers, -- Graham Watkins For me, morning begins when I realize that the soft warm body curled up next to me is a cat.

The Linux version is simply a console-run client. You use your web browser to search on the AudioGalaxy web site itself. I can't complain about the web site interface--it's never stopped me from finding anything and everything. Miark And the million dollar question: Is it any good for finding music?

Re: [newbie] Audiogalaxy Satellite
Audiogalaxy thought it best to leave the interface-building to the open source community for the GNU/Linux version. While you can still use the web-based interface at audiogalaxy.com, there are some truly innovative clients like 6's Spiffy AudioGalaxy Query Tool (http://agqt.sourceforge.net/). It's console-based, but it's the best music finder I've ever seen. The main problem with AudioGalaxy nowadays is that they block a lot of searches for legal reasons. Services like Gnutella and eDonkey are fully decentralised, and so don't have this problem.

I put my email address and password in the account.txt file as instructed. However, whenever I try to run it I get the following message: ./AGSatellite: (my email address): command not found ./AGSatellite: (password): command not found I found one message board discussion that said that the user name should be used rather than the email address so I made the necessary alteration but continued to get the same message. A point to consider is that the email address is the one I originally used to sign up for audiogalaxy and now redundant although it continues to function under windows. Ideas, anyone?
