wine users - Jun 2009 - Bigpond Media Downloader works with Wine

Hi there,

This is my first EVER linux-based post (scary!). Just to say I switched to linux
(Xubuntu 9.04) yesterday from XP, and have got everything that HAD to be exe
working, including Bigpond Media Downloader. Bigpond is an Australian
communications network, who also sell songs, movies, etc. They have a media
downloader specifically for their files, which was making me a bit nervous -
it's only available for Mac and Microsoft OSs. But I used Wine, and it works
totally fine. If a complete newb like me can get it to work, anybody can.

Hopefully I'm putting this in the right spot (sorry mods if I'm
wrong...). And hopefully someday there'll be someone wanting to use Bigpond
Media Downloader in linux, and now you know it will.

Oh, one thing, you'll probably want to move where it downloads your songs TO
(C:/etc, etc), but that is easy as to do. Just follow your nose, and you'll
be right.

Actually you are not putting this info in the right place :)

appdb.winehq.com ? is the page you should put it on, this is wine
application database, if this app is not there, please add it. And if you
ever need to find out if some specific app works (and how well it works)
first search appdb.
