*sigh* ...
i guess either Xen it to run itunes on Windoze ..
or Windoze and VMWare to run your favorite linux distro ...
thanks then - if anyone know of any shareware or application that can
manage mp3 that would allow me to migrate my home network into linux
and bye-bye windoze and Apple for good!

There's not a huge difference among linux distros in the applications
that are available if you track them down. Most won't include anything
with patented or even questionable functionality in the base distro.
Fedora won't publically admit that such stuff exists. Ubuntu has it in
repositories that easily be enabled. There are several media players
around but I don't think any will play drm-affected AAC files from the
itunes store and playlist management probably won't quite match itunes.
