Hi from Vancouver.... my current hideout.... was lucky to escape all the
snow u guys had this winter....not sure if will be as lucky next
winter.... oh well
I was wondering if anyone has had any success installing iTunes under
wine..... the info I had said to use ver 7.2 which I have .... I have
Ubuntu 10.1 64bit installed to dual boot with win7 on my laptop. I keep
getting install errors or runtime probs ...... I suppose I could run it in
win7 but I hate all the baggage that comes with it and loads even if u are
not using it. I tend to run a lot of apps at the same time so don't need
useless background services running all the time and its a pain to shut
them down all the time
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated

Why the hell would you want to? If you want to stay away from bloat and
unnecessary baggage and dodgy processes running in the background, I'd stay
away from iTunes!! even on Winblows it causes problems. There are excellent
open-source apps to organize your music collection. Amarok is my fav. Has
excellent internet plugins too for jamendo, magnatune and radio. Unfortunately
they haven't got ipod syncing working again since kde4 but there other things
that can do this. I prefer to move the file myself anyways so i know whats
going on and where everything is.
I agree with you in principal, but there are some people (for whatever
reason) have decided to at least sip the Apple Kool-Aid & have an iCrap
device (phone/touch/pad) that requires iTunes to purchase, install &
manage apps.
Now if someone could create a product that does that without the
proprietary tie-in, I would be all over that!
