(He's using a Laptop...) He had a couple of questions, here are 2 that I'm not sure about, could use your advise / help! 2) Wine and Launchers I've installed a program called BibleWorks 4.0, using Wine.  It seems to be working, but I can't create a shortcut to it.  Here's the problem: It's accessible at: /home/rick/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/BibleWorks 4.0/bworks95.exe If I open the terminal, go to the "BibleWorks 4.0" directory and then type "wine bworks95.exe" everything runs perfectly.  If, however, I type "wine /home/rick/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/BibleWorks\ 4.0/bworks95.exe" - there's a problem. I think it does begin to launch BibleWorks, but the first thing BibleWorks does is open a small window claiming not to be able to find the registration files, and then refusing to go further. The upshot of this is that I don't know how to create a shortcut/launcher to let me launch it without having to go through the whole palava of open-terminal/cd-to-directory/launch-by-hand. Again not a big deal, but if there's something obvious I'm missing... (Kirrus - I thought, could make a shell script to do the cd etc.. but there's got to be a better solution...) 3) mp3 players. When I used to use Windows, Media Player had this function where you could change the rate at which you could play back mp3  - eg x1 (ie normal speed), x2 (ie double speed), x1.5, x1.8, etc, etc.  I used to use this quite often to listen to mp3s of talks and sermons - I find I can often cope with listening at a spead of about x1.5 or x1.8. I'd like to regain this feature.  I guess I could try installing Media Player under Wine.  But I feel like there must be an Open Source solution - and (philosophically!) I'd be more comfortable going the Open Source route. I've done some Googling, and searching of Synaptic Package Manager, but to no available. Again, not a big deal, but if you have any tips, they would be greatly received... (Kirrus - I've recommended he use Audacity for the short-term, though its not the best for this.) Any ideas?
