  No, we are simply using the tools that are most pleasant to use for building 
the software we want to build :)
  (also, you really should not be slagging off MS when you've got the email 
address you do, it makes you look not so good ;) )

  Now... i am not sure if you understand this, but you already have KDE on 
your machine, since you installed Amarok ;) You have the KDE libraries, but 
not KDE base, which is where applications such as the KDE Help Center reside. 
Now, KDE Help Center is that which is used for help in KDE (much like the 
GNOME Help browser name of which escapes me right now, since my opinions of 
that desktop seem to be rather like yours of KDE ;) is used in GNOME).

> So : Can anybody help me get my cd's onto my disk ?

  Yes, by using the audiocd kio slave (yet another one of those nifty little 
KDE technologies that make your life so much easier ;) ) - go into the Files 
browser in Amarok and type in "audiocd:/" in the location field. Now just 
navigate to the format you wish to rip into, select the tracks you want, drag 
them, hover over the Collection browser button, wait for it to pop up, then 
drop the files into the list view :) The rest should be self explanatory. 
(and you might want to try #amarok on freenode next time, unlike what you 
think, we -do- care about our gnome users, of which there are many)
