I'm a member of bmg, but I only use it to get the 16 cd's for around $60. I would be willing to bet that there's no good, viable option for linux users on the site now, and that there won't be for a while. I guess linux-mac users just don't like music, or there would be a way for them to sample it, right? Anyway, if I were you, I would go through amazon.com or a similar site. Amazon lets you preview most of its cd's. hope this helps justin Justin Kremer wrote: > I don't know if there are any other BMG members out there, but if there > are, maybe you can help me out here. > I have been in contact with BMG's tech support regarding their website, > and all of their links to listen to their music samples are links to a > .exe file on another website, and then something pointing the .exe at a > .ra file.
