Hi, need some advice on whether anyone has sucessfully set up iTunes to
run inside an emulator on freebsd?

I have an iPhone and the only reason I have windows is so that I can use
it to sync my phone . My question is - can I still do this in freebsd
without windows?

You can run windows in virtualbox and use iTunes in virtualized windows.
Also there are other apps which can be used with iPods, perhaps they'd
also work for the iPhone? Check out Amarok, Banshee, gtkpod, etc.

Can't vouch for them though as I have no experience...

But there's no support for a virtual USB controller in virtualbox-ose in
ports so you'll not be able to access the iPhone over your USB port :-<

Not sure about the latest Wine and USB, but it's surprisingly capable
for some things. Mixed results with iTunes and Linux reported on
winehq.org. May be better on FreeBSD.
