I'd be careful about using WINE. The security guides all suggest that
emulators are a big no-no. The problem is that they all must bust the
Unix protection model pretty much. There must be a mess of stuff in
there running suid root, at the very least....
XMMS runs fine. IMHO if you have to run musicmatch, I'd recommend
running Windows....
