Google Music Adds Linux, Ogg Vorbis Support 111
luceth writes "According to Android Police, the Google Music library manager now supports Linux! Also available in the Linux upload manager is new support for Ogg Vorbis, though they transcode it to 320 Kbps MP3 like they do with FLAC. Still, it will be nice to get some use out of that beta invite."

Mind if I ask what possible reason you could have for being anti-Opera?
They're a good company, and are pretty close to acheiving the "do no evil" motto of another company that likes to walk on the border of questionable morality, but never cross it.
The only possible thing I can conceivable come up with is that they are not open source and don't seem to contribute to OS projects. To that I can only shrug. They've had a linux client for years. I've been using linux long enough to remember when opera was a probably the best browser in the repos. (still is if you're on an older system).
They have a mobile browser that works across all mobile operating systems, including maemo. And not just some desktop knock off that strains resources, but one with a small footprint. Webpages can be run through their own proxies that convert normal webpages into mobile friendly versions to minimize mobile bandwidth costs. They even made browsers for the Nintendo ds and wii.
Supporting so many platforms is a huge feat that not even google can boast of. Opera is a pretty cool company, in my opinion. They can keep their source code.
