Hello,

I don't know how to activate those mp3s but maybe a short term solution
would be to try wine...it is installable over universe, as far as I

Wine is _very_ unstable and hard to use.

Actually, I'd disagree. Wine is quite stable and easy to use - but hard to
get configured correctly in the first place. After much crying (basically
something like 3 years, off and on) trying to get Quicken to work, I now
have a system that works reliably on most programs I try (including
Quicken).

Can I suggest you either use
wine + one of the configuration utilities or you try crossover office

Well, I _did_ have to use ies4linux to get a good configuration - and even
then there was messing about after the ies4linux install.

for free and then buy it if it works, it's not expensive and the
advances go back to the wine project.

Which is the easy way. I did try Crossover, and had it working well, but I
didn't like not understanding _how_ Wine was working. I think I understand
it now, but please don't ask me to explain :-)

otoh, sound support seems chancy, so I'm not convinced it would work for
converting sound files.
