My music library updated

Today I found some time to try out Rhythmbox the music player inspired by iTunes. I had head that it was good... and so far I'm not dissapointed. This cool player made me want some new music so I surfed the net for some new stuff. My music taste is pretty broard so I ended up with this: Mew - Frengers (cdon) Creed - Weathered (cdon) Oasis - Heathen Chemistry (cdon) Black Eyed Peas - Elephunk (cd-wow) Britney Spears - In The Zone (cd-wow) It is really crappy that CD-WOW had to raise their prices... yes I know why but it's still sad. Now that I found a job so I can actually buy my music they go and pull a stunt like this. :( CD-WOW has far from all music so I have to supplement with CDON ( a nordic online music reseller). I have to look for some price indexes and alternative sites to buy music so that I can get it as cheap as possible :) Another thing I don't like is the fact that I haven't found a decent download music shop to use. TDC has started a music shop but it only works in IE and with Windows Media Player AFAIK :( Crap site! I want to buy my music! Why do they have to make it so hard? Read more...

I succesfully installed it in Firefox and Thunderbird but I’m having trouble when sending emails signed with my certificate…. When I recieve them I’m told that the email can have been altered since it was sent - WTF?!?
