How to Download iTunes in Linux Ubuntu
Source-Ehow.com


step1

Download WINE. WINE is a software written for Linux that allows it to run Windows software. You can download WINE through the terminal:

sudo dpkg -i wine_0.9.45~winehq0~ubuntu~7.04-1_i386.deb

Step2
Next, you need to configure WINE to the options that we need. To do this, simply type in the terminal "winecfg". Follow these instructions:

-Choose the Windows XP option in the Applications tab.
-Select Autodetect in the Drivers tab.
-Check the ALSA Driver and uncheck the OSS Driver in the Audio tab.


Click OK. Your changes will be saved.

Step3

As far as I know, the latest version of iTunes that can be downloaded on Linux Ubuntu is version 7.2. You can find a download of it here:

http://www.oldapps.com/itunes.php?old_itunes=20

NOTE: IF THIS LINK IS BROKEN BECAUSE OF FUTURE UPDATES, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I SHALL EDIT THIS POST AND FIND ANOTHER LINK WHERE YOU CAN SUCCESSFULLY DOWNLOAD THIS. THANKS!!

Step4

Once you have downloaded iTunes 7.2, go to the terminal once again and type

wine iTunesSetup.exe


Step5

Click Finish


Step11
It took me a couple of gos, but I got it to work in the end. Once iTunes has been successfully installed, run the program using:

wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/iTunes/iTunes.exe

And that's it! You now have iTunes installed on Linux Ubuntu. Congratulations!!
