When XP didn't work anymore for iTunes, I installed Windows 7. Wine is a PITA. The vbox OES release could work good when using a release model distro, but also is a PITA when using a rolling release. The easiest way to go, is using vbox non-OSE. Other VMs might have advantages over vbox, but they aren't that easy to set up. Upstream of wine seems to care about some apps, I suspect photoshop might run without issues, but I tried to run e.g. the Korg nanocontrol software as well as iTunes under wine and both failed, even while some versions should work, there actually is no choice for e.g. iTunes, since the iTunes version needs to fit to the connected device's iOS version. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
