Magnatune on Rhythmbox for Ubuntu

Recently I upgraded my computer to Ubuntu 8.04 and discovered that the latest version of the Rhythmbox music player includes links to what seems to be the entire Magnatune.com music library. Like Naxos before they went to a paid subscription model, Magnatune allows Rhythmbox listeners to hear entire tracks before purchase.

There seems to be a few albums of Eastern Church music in the Magnatune library, whose unique sounds have always captured the essence of the Church Militant. I’ll be sure to highlight some of them in the future.

    Simili modo, KDE users can play Magnatune tracks through the Amarok music player. It’s an impressive service.

    I like Magnatune. Even if the little announcer pronounces Dvorak “Dee-VO-rak”. They used to have the artist Serenessima whose interpretation of some Vivaldi sacred works (Laudate Dominum RV 600) were quite beautiful. I can’t find them on the current artist list.
