Re: Converting a friend to Ubuntu - needs iTunes

There is Wine (good luck with that).
If he is tied to itunes, then stay with windows.

Yes, there are players that work like itunes but the whole protection of the songs makes it nearly impossible for a new Linux user to deal with hacks that might be out there.

If he is a purchaser of songs, and isn't tied to the player, there are alternatives. 

For example, I buy my songs from Amazon (no DRM protection) and I use Amarok for the player.

Hi All

A friend of mine has a Windows XP PC which takes ages to boot.
He is willing to try Linux (I want to install Ubuntu 11.10) but he has
one specific request.
He absolutely needs to be able to run iTunes (and it should not crash!).

What is the best option to do this? Using a virtual windows is not
what I want, since
that would mean I could just as easily install windows.

bye/Alain
