Well wine isn't perfect. A fair few applications don't work very well
or not at all, so it's not really a perfect solution. Dual booting with
Windows or running Windows in a virtual machine would probably be the
better solution.
But on the other hand, I guess it is worth mentioning that iTunes works
on CrossOver (although not owning an iPod, I haven't a clue which
version works and if it's compatible with the latest iPods and iPhones).
