Ubuntu and iTunes?
    #14107341 - 03/12/11 03:27 AM (12 years, 10 months ago)

Howdy,

I need to get a new laptop. I'd love one of the new macbook pros but they're just too darn expensive. So, I'm thinking of getting a mid-range 'Windows' laptop and installing Ubuntu on it - I don't really want Windows as my main OS.

The only thing stopping me is itunes/my iphone which I use for music and podcasts (ALOT!)

Do any of you guys have ubuntu set up to work with itunes/an iphone???????

You can run iTunes in Wine (Windows emulation). There is no 'native' iTunes for Ubuntu.

Thanks. Yeah I figured there was no native version. I've read about Wine emulation and it the consensus seems to be buggy. I was just wondering if anyone had any practical experience of using itunes in ubuntu.

I guess the other option is to run it in os x/windows in a virtualbox and run it from there. But I think i'd want to use it so often that it'd seem silly/slow opening a second OS every time I boot.

Unless I bought an SSD of course... :laugh:

I don't use iTunes, but I have pretty good experiences with Wine running LTSpice (electronics design & simulation). I wouldn't say it's buggy at all. But if iTunes is just as smooth, I don't know.

Oh yeah, I've used Wine with OS X a few times and found it fine. Surprisingly convenient. Just with Apple being Apple I don't imagine they'd want to make it easy to use their software in a way they didn't intend...

Out of interest I googled LTSpice (I hadn't heard of it). looks hardcore! :thumbup:

It's a popular bit of software in the DIY audio community, which is why I use it mostly.
