As you probably know, iTunes is a software written for Mac and Windows only, and does not work for Linux...or does it?Dont worry nWo Computer Linux are here,to guide you. There IS a way (100% proven and tested effective) to download iTunes on Linux Ubuntu, and here's just how to do it.
Step 1
Download WINE. WINE is a software written for Linux that allows it to run Windows software. You can download WINE through the terminal:
sudo dpkg -i wine_0.9.45~winehq0~ubuntu~7.04-1_i386.deb
Step 2
Next, you need to configure WINE to the options that we need. To do this, simply type in the terminal "winecfg". Follow these instructions:
-Choose the Windows XP option in the Applications tab.
-Select Autodetect in the Drivers tab.
-Check the ALSA Driver and uncheck the OSS Driver in the Audio tab.
Click OK. Your changes will be saved.
Step 3
As far as I know, the latest version of iTunes that can be downloaded on Linux Ubuntu is version 7.2. You can find a download of it here:

NOTE: IF THIS LINK IS BROKEN BECAUSE OF FUTURE UPDATES, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I SHALL EDIT THIS POST AND FIND ANOTHER LINK WHERE YOU CAN SUCCESSFULLY DOWNLOAD THIS. THANKS!!
Step 4
Once you have downloaded iTunes 7.2, go to the terminal once again and type
wine iTunesSetup.exe
Step 5
Welcome Screen
This will take you to a Welcome Screen.
Step 6
iTunes License
Accept the license.
Step 7
Installer Options
Select the installer options as seen in the picture.
Step 8
Autorun Popout
A popout will appear, asking for autorun.
CLICK NO!!!!
Step 9
Installing iTunes
The file will download.
Step 10
Click Finish.
Step 11
It took me a couple of gos, but I got it to work in the end. Once iTunes has been successfully installed, run the program using:
wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/iTunes/iTunes.exe
Step 12
And that's it! You now have iTunes installed on Linux Ubuntu. Congratulations!!
