iTunes, the music sales download service and it's client software, does
not run directly on Linux.  I have seen claims that it runs under wine.
 I don't use it.  I don't buy DRM music.

(I buy CDs or download from services like http://magnatune.com)

iTunes, the music file organizer part of the iTunes client software, is
easily replaced by many "as good" or better choices on your Linux OS.  I
much prefer Amarok (http://amarok.kde.org/).  I use it with my iPod
Nano, my kids use it with their Creative USB stick players and my wife
uses it with her Creative Vision:M player.

Aside: Yes I own an iPod.  It was a gift nearly two years ago.  It has
never had an iTunes song on it, only MP3s from my ripped CDs or from
non-DRM download sources.  One of these days I'm going to put
http://www.rockbox.org firmware on it and have some real fun!
