Trying to DUMP Windows.... But

Been watching Linux for the past few years, and have wonder "if" its ready to replace my Vista Desktop.
There are a few factors, that would need to be address, before I can change my Desktop OS.
*1a.* With Audio, been using Windows Media Player, and foobar...all has been great,
Since, I only rip in Lossless formats like .WMA lossless or .Flac Lossless,
I can covert to any other format if need be, also Windows Media Player (Library/JukeBox) has no problems,
with 32,000+ songs.
Using Windows Media Player, I can grab 12 or more songs, from different CD's, and BURN my own Audio Mix,
they come out perfect, *referring to quality and sound levels, when switching from track to track...* Windows Media Player,
adds sound leveling to the CD when the .wma lossless file, gets UN-Compressed.... I've done this, about a few hundred's time,
and works like a charm... i.e. ( grab some Dido, Sarah McLachlan, Smith, ...etc) and make a all Girl Vocal Disk.
all in a couple of clicks.
*1b. * Now, DOES Ubuntu (or any other linux) offer Anything, that can match this ? (Yes or NO) if Yes, please explain.
*-------------*
*2a.* Video, I have a massive collection of Video Format Movies, in .mkv, .avi, .mov, .mp4...etc
Now, Windows Media Player (Stinks) for playback, so I have install "The KMPlayer"
*<snip>*: /The KMPlayer is a video and audio player for Microsoft Windows which can play a large number of formats such as VCD, DVD, AVI, MKV, Ogg, OGM, 3GP, MPEG-1/2/4, WMV, RealMedia, FLV and QuickTime among others. It handles a wide range of subtitles and allows one to capture audio, video, and screenshots.
The player provides both internal and external filters with a fully controlled environment in terms of connections to other splitters, decoders, audio/video transform filters and renderers without grappling with the DirectShow merit system. Interestingly, it is said that internal filters are not registered with a user's system to keep it from being messed up with system filters./ *</snip>*
Play any kind of Video Format, is a breeze with this player, install it and your done, playing video with subtitles, (anime) works like a charm,
to skipping or timing issues... heck, this app can even enhance the video quality as well as audio quality too.
So, with a 500 GB Drive full of Vids, I do have some concerns... it would be nice, if there where just a few standards... but that's not the case
*2b*. So, DOES Ubuntu (or any other linux) offer Anything, that can match this ? (Yes or NO) if Yes, please explain
*------------*
*3a*. Photography & Photo Scanning & Photo Editing,
Now, Yes I do use Photoshop... installed works great... Now I have played with Gimp, But lets get real shall we...
*3b*. Now Does Ubuntu (or any other linux) offer Anything that can match Photoshop and or beat it ? ( Yes or NO) if Yes, please explain
(I do allot of photo manipulation ) yes layers... filters..etc..etc.. ( started doing stitching for panorama shots)
*---------*
Thank You for your Time.

Richard
