Ok, well I have yet again(maybe my 5th time

) figured I would try a boot with Linux, this time on my main computer since the 2ndary one is lent out at the moment. I also want XP on it though, since I am in CAD this year and we may pick up a cheap copy of AutoCAD, and also if I ever have a slight urge to play a game I would like to be able to.
My main problem is now trying to figure out what to do with my music. I have a fair amount of music and don't want to make it take twice its already large amount of space required, but Windows doesn't like Linux, and Linux really isnt all to fond of XP either from my experience, although I guess in this case I wouldn't need to have write privilages, but only read. I don't know whether I should have my music stored on my Linux partition and have XP find it somehow(is there any utility that allows XP to read linux file systems?) which I would prefer, or should I put my music on the XP partition and just use my read privileges to listen to it?
Also, iTunes doesn't have any Linux compatible download as far as I know, so does anyone know a good substitute, with the fact in mind that I love iTunes and would prefer not to use a program like WinAmp(I know it gets the job done, but I mean iTunes... come on

)
Thanks for all help, and by the way I am thinking of going with Slackware 10 since that is what worked the best last time for me.
