[ale] iTunes on Linux

[Mark Wright]

I'll try that.

I don't really like the idea of crossover office emulating a windows 
environment for a windows app so I haven't tried that yet.

I found the Liberator program when I was looking for a way to help 
manage all the music we have.  Itunes is setup to handle everything 
automatically and manually setting things is not obvious.
