There are some that are just audio CD's and these play with no problem. The others have a tight link to your sound card. You listen and then they copy your speech pattern. That gets a little rougher. > > But I'm wondering if WINE under SuSE (e.g.) would let me use > these CD's here and not fbother with the other toy OS.

It isn't so simple because in the case of Spanish it converts several keys such as the "' key, which is just to the left of the enter key, to a two stroke key that creats two different types of accented letters. The ; key is already the enya (tilde n). I thought about wine and then multi-booted to 98se. It pretty well messes up 98 and no sense taking wine with it.
