iTunes in Linux - Not any time soon.

,----[ Quote ]
| Yesterday, Apple computer released Safari for windows, proving 
| that the company does have the desire to expand their enterprise 
| and myriad programs to other platforms. However, they so far have 
| neglected the Linux user. Will apple release iTunes for Linux? 
| Not anytime soon. So what solutions does the open source 
| community have?

Mozilla + iTunes + Rhapsody = Songbird  

,----[ Quote ]
| Lord calls Songbird a "mashup between a Web browser and a media player, 
| creating a new class of app I call a Web player." Songbird will support all 
| open file formats but it will also support codecs (define) and Digital Rights 
| Management (DRM) in Windows media, VLC and Quicktime. That means it can play 
| the iTunes AAC file format, XviD, Ogg Vorbis and WMV files.

Wanted: An Open API and format for buying DRM-free music - now that iTunes
and EMI will sell it.

,----[ Quote ]
| What I'd really like is an API for Rhythmbox, the Open Source software
| I use to manage and play music on my desktop, to buy songs from the
| iTunes store and elsewhere. Maybe that API would even work for Rockbox,
| the Open Source player software.
