Older versions of iTuens run OK under Codeweavers. I haven't kept up
my subscription of Crossover Office as it's just far easier to use
iTunes for purchases under Windows. Mostly I don't buy much from them
as I don't like the sound of their encoding but it works great for
keeping my kid happy.

I tend to use iTunes to rip my CDs in Apple's lossless encoder as that
format is supported in Windows and OSX as well as Aqualung on Linux.
If I don't use iTunes to rip then I do it in Linux using K3b.

Hope this helps,
Mark
