    What are you downloading? If you are trying to d/l windows programs you are wasting your time.

    As that is incoherent (what is it anyway.. Hag Fold Martian or something?)

    Simple answer.. You can't run itunes on linux (why you would want drm filled low quality crap anyway is a puzzle).. no can do..

    http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/itunes gives alternatives.

    Smoking too much of that stuff maybe? That's probably why the desperation for more money. hehehehe

    OP.. saw you mentioned a cd mixer also.. ubuntu should come with sound juicer installed by default (you will need to play with it to rip to mp3) https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CDRipping .. you will have to copy/paste that link.. like too much ubuntu help it's secure...
    For a player the best bet is probably audacious..
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install audacious

    Phone?? dunno.. depends on make. Nokia has a set of tools called gnokii , others have random support depending on whether any linux owners have had a need to get at them ;) google XD

    Burning cd's without gaps between tracks? It's in the k3b options somewhere I think.. Looked quickly and found where it is..

    Add your tracks to your audio cd project, then right click the song name in the window and look in properties to see the power of k3b ;)

    I haven't burned a normal audio cd in a very long time with a pretty button click interface.. I use a BSD-unix script to do it which is command line and gives me all sorts of options.. I usually make "enhanced" disks...
