I tried Qemu once and were told at that time that there is no VM with CD-burning functionality. Did you actually burn it from within the VM, e.g. having that much control over your hardware or did you create an image you later burned with native linux tools? signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
Re: [gentoo-user] [OT] iTunes with Gentoo?
According to the winedb, as of wine 0.9.57, iTunes works ok under wine, store services included. I haven't tested it myself, since I am not a fan of iTunes. http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=versioniId=10543 -- Jesús Guerrero [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

Hello. Sorry for being somewhat Off Topic, but could you guys please tell me if it's possible to use iTunes with wine-0.9.57 under a ~x86 system? Is it possible to change the store location to something other than US (as that's required to buy songs, as far as I know)? Thanks, Michael -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

Most likely DRM will not work and even if it runs, you won't be able to burn CDs with it. You might have more success with Windows in a virtual machine but then you'd still need to emulate a CD-burner. I'm not sure if there exists an out-of-the-box solution for that.

Sorry, but I'm unable to help you with this. Is it possible to change the store location to something other than US (as that's required to buy songs, as far as I know)? UK residents can buy from the iTunes store, as I would imagine can residents of many other European countries. But I prefer to buy CDs, myself. Stroller. -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

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 -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
