I might have one if I can find it, Scott. Same email address, or should I send you a PM?

So in the world's political chaos, the makers of open software are still using their creativity daily. And I'm listening on a virtual Mint using VirtualBox.

Or you could download the Windows version instead. Wait, who said that? Wasn't me. Their website mentions that the Windows version can't play CDs.

Cool program. It looks very friendly.

Using Trinity is easy to catch on to because the design is ancient.

That's an interesting, unconventional viewpoint. I would expect that to be the opposite case. Is it because there are less bells and whistles?

My super duper basement junk-room desktop computer runs Win 11.

Workaround upgrade, or was it fully compatible?

Marilyn's computer will not upgrade to win 11 because she's using Linux Mint.

Some would say that Linux is an upgrade from any version of Windows. Those people are my kind of people.

My Dell xps 13 uses Windows 11. It came with 10, but was upgraded.

Did you have to use a workaround or was it already compatible?

Nice going! NetFlix will probably make a movie series, based on it. :-)

Or Buster will.

If anyone is having trouble with drag and drop please add something to the thread and I'll expand on the process.

I also  recently found out that MX uses Strawberry as at least one of the included music players.

Thanks Buster, for posting the details about how you got drag and drop to work on VirtualBox.
