[ale] Switching desktop

[attriel]

OK, I finally have the chance to switch my office machine to linux (eesh,
took long enough)

Now, the only two bits I'm not sure on are:

(1) What do I use in linux to do photoshop stuff/read photoshop files?

(2) Can I convert those WMA songs I've pulled off my CDs to something like
OGG, and if so how?  And the followup of:  What apps are there for playing
music?

/me hasn't had a sound card/speakers/etc on a linux box since 1997 when he
used it to play AU's as an alarm clock ...
