Hello Maarten!
I read your post on the WineHQ site. I was wondering if you know whether I am attempting something that simply will not work yet. I am running iTunes 7.7.1 on Wine 1.1.42. These are running on Ubuntu 10.04. iTunes is not showing my iPod. I have tried setting an autodetect drive E: to /media/IPOD, but iTunes seems to not see it there. Any help will be greatly appreciated, even if the answer is "will not work." Thanks. -- Russ Mannex Russ@Mannex.com

Apple iTunes uses a kernel-mode device driver (usbaapl.sys) to talk to the iPod. It'd be a project all of its own (perhaps bigger than trying to make a native clone) to try to get iTunes to talk to the iPod under Wine.
When Wine supports kernel USB drivers, it might be something to try. I plan to continue my work on that - some time.
IIRC usbaapl.sys uses usbstor.sys, so we'd have to write a version of that for Wine as well.
