- Enable the
multilib
repository by editing/etc/pacman.conf
- Install WineHQ and some other optional dependencies:
$ pacman -Syu wine $ pacman -S --asdeps lib32-mpg123 lib32-gnutls {lib32-,}gst-plugins-base-libs \ lib32-alsa-plugins lib32-libpulse lib32-openal $ yay -S lib32-unixodbc # or your favourite AUR helper
- We'll install a 64-bit version of iTunes, so no need to set
WINEARCH
Version 12.8 seems to work fine. I had troubles making more recent >=12.9 versions work (see here). Same for older versions (e.g. 12.5), I could not
log in to the Apple Store. So find yourself the (64-bit) iTunes64Setup12.8.exe
installer somewhere on the internet.
Just
$ wine /path/to/iTunes64Setup12.8.exe
And go through the procedure. Start iTunes with
$ wine .wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/iTunes/iTunes.exe
- No playback: solved with
Preferences > Playback > Play Audio Using > Direct Sound
- CD-ROM detection: to make Wine aware of your CD-ROM unit:
Check if the
$ mkdir /mnt/cdrom $ ln -s /mnt/cdrom ~/.wine/dosdevices/z: $ echo '/dev/sr0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 defaults,user,noauto 0 0' > /etc/fstab $ systemctl reboot
/dev/sr0
device really represents your CD-ROM unit. The CD pops up in iTunes only if the CD is inserted before starting the program.
