Ok.. Have to admit that makes a lot of sense.

That's what I thought..?  I downloaded it for free anyway. You mean
there's a catch?

Anyway, I'm getting distracted:  I think Ubuntu should play mp3's and
DVDs, OR include seriously simple instructions on how to add it.  If
they can host instructions on how to do it then they can also go all the
way and put a link on the desktop with some easy clickable links to add
mpeg, mp3 support.
