Zico, is that iTunes native in Linux? I would love to have the Link. Froget it if it is over WINE (WINdows Emulation). I don't want to promote WINdows API emulation in Linux. People who uses WINE / or similar to run WIndows software in Linux are FUCKHEADS as it is completely against the philosophy of FSF/OSS.
