You are amazing.
Thank Dan Kegel and Google for sponsoring me to work on it this summer. Luckily for me, it's ended up being almost exactly one summer's worth of work.
If iTunes 7 can be made to work by 0.9.45 (or 0.9.46), it can make it into Ubuntu Gutsy. Seeing as how iTunes is consistently one of our top 5 demanded apps, the improvement from the user's perspective will be palpable.
Maybe so! So, some testing would be great. There are some bugs there, like, scrolling in the Music store is very slow (that's already logged.) I have no idea of syncing with your iPod works - I keep forgetting to bring mine in to test it.
So, let's see how close to working this really is, huh? --Juan
