Codeweaver's Crossover 4.0 Adds iTunes Support

Posted by timothy on from the productive-of-sloth dept.

nbahi15 writes "Codeweavers has released v4 of its Wine implementation with the addition of support for iTunes. To quote their web site, 'iTunes works, and can do everything we thought was important; play music, access the store, and sync with an iPod. It can't burn CDs right now, and it has some fairly serious warts (sound is tricky, particularly with 2.6 kernels, and getting the iPod going is hard), but we think it's usable.' Finally I can use the single most important 'productivity' application on Linux."

  1. Running itunes? by u-235-sentinel · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    I'd be more interested in whether it can run HL2 or Counterstrike Source myself. Anybody hear if this works yet?

    Mac OS X does the same thing as Wndows for me, and doesn't take up as much memspace. Oh, and it also has really nice features which Windows doesn't have... like NOT LOADING services I don't need into memory. I could go on and on and on here.

    Sounds like its time for you to make the switch to Mac OS X.

  3. What about yammi? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Has no-one heard of this awesome app which has tons more features than iTunes? This thing (http://yammi.sf.net/) has got the ability to search based on approximately what the song/title/album/whatever is spelled like. AND it lets you output the songs to any of your other favorite players such as XMMS or Amarok.

    It's simply awesome, and it makes this unstable hack pale in comparison.

    So, for anyone who thinks Linux is lacking in the music department, think again.
