Hello, I'm not a software developer but I am a full time Ubuntu user!, I also really Love Linux. Heres the thing tho I try to get my friends into using Linux and dropping windows! But a lot of them do not want to try out Linux or give it a chance because the first thing they ask is does itunes work with Linux? I tell them about the alternative like banshee and rhythm box and they still refuse to give Linux a try sadly. My favorite is banshee and I like everything it comes with, personally I don't like or would Never use itunes, But unfortunately people Love itunes and probably would Never stop using itunes, especially this week with the new ipad that just came out!. Lest be honest tho nobody's ever going to want to switch from windows to Linux if itunes doesn't work with Linux tons of people have iphones and ipads and itunes is very easy and very convenient for them as appose to Linux because we all know that Linux doesn't work with itunes. SO if there is anyone out there that could make I tunes work with wine flawlessly or maybe tweak I tunes for mac os x to work with Linux and make it open source that would be awesome!! :)
I use VLC and Linux since 1998. Don't bother your colleagues about Linux...some hate it. try itunes from the command terminal where you see which libs you need to install with winetricks. look also in appdb.

It has a lovely entry on iTunes... And threatening volunteers usually gets you nowhere. James

Lest be honest tho nobody's ever going to want to switch from windows to Linux if itunes doesn't work with LinuxIMO, the only people who are that much in love with i-Tunes are Mac users who wouldn't switch to Linux if you put a gun to their head, and plenty of people have already switched to Linux despite the lack of i-Tunes, including you. But if you really think it's that important, start writing patches.
