Bob, I'd be happy to include one! (Juice will have a Linux version soon). Do you have any recommendations for one I should add?

You should play Live's version of Walk the Line and, if possible, Chris Daughtry's version. A lot of us don't watch American Idol.

This version of After the Goldrush is simply amazing, almost as good as Neil's original. It's hard to improve perfection, but King's Singers gave it a pretty good shot.

I use Amarok. The new version has podcast support.

Zebrahead have a live cover of Wannabe. I don't think I have a copy of it anymore but it is pretty interesting.

Was the Bryan Ferry Dylan cover the same as used in the Bob Dylan Cover Story (April 2005)? It sounded a little different... but it's been a while since I listened to that show.

(That Dylan Cover show is probably my favorite show ever. The tracks from Brain Ferry, Mavis Staples and Indigo Girls are amazing)

I loved Arcade Fire's version of Naive Melody. You list it as being from a CBC Radio 3 Studio Session but don't provide a link to anything. Where did you get the track in order to play it? Is it on a CD, or available for download somewhere? I poked around the Radio 3 website - http://radio3.cbc.ca/ - but couldn't find anything.
