Linux - Wine - iTunes

Afternoon,

Closest thing to iTunes for Linux is Banshee, which has sync capabilities, however unsure that its supports iTunes DRM yet.

Now I need iTunes for my iPhone as you know, however, could I emulate iTunes in Wine and sync my iPhone etc?

Cheers
Alex

Looks like it varies. You can try it if you want to, but don't get your hopes up.

Hmm thats interesting, I was going to try out Mandriva - I think I'll have to give it a go as I fancy going open source. Or I could wait until banshee has the support added.

you could also look at crossover linux, although you need to purcahse it.

I synced my iPod Touch in a VM of XP. It was slow but it worked

Songbird works excellent with iPods, as does Amarok.

Songbird does work well with older iPod but it does not support the touch
