Does iTunes work under Wine under Linux?

Hi Cleo,
I know you directed the question to cd34 but I thought I would offer my 2 cents. According to the CodeWeavers.com website, their product CrossoverOffice (the commerical version of Wine) DOES support iTunes but with the following known issues:
* CD Burning / Ripping Doesn't Work
(Ripping audio tracks from CDs and burning audio tracks to CDs is not supported. This is due to it being implemented in iTunes by a kernel-mode driver, which would be very difficult to re-implement in Linux.)
* Accessing the iPod (Getting the iPod to work with iTunes still requires the modification of vital Hotplug configuration files as root and is thus not recommended to any one unfamiliar with the workings of Linux. The iPod support also has limitations. In particular the iPod will not work with iTunes 4.7, and syncing purchased songs is not supported.)
* Sound (Due to issues and limitations of different sound cards/chipsets, iTunes may not work perfectly with the default settings provided by CrossOver Office. Please see the iTunes FAQ entry for information on how to resolve these issues.)
So I guess the answer is yes but not very well!
