Nope, and I'm surprised you actually got it working in Wine. Amarok has more features and is less bloated (seems like an oxymoron, but true). Of course, it doesn't have the iTunes store, if that's what you're looking for...

There are a few different audio players that have many similar features as iTunes and can sync with your iPod easily but as estyles said, you're out of luck if you're looking for iTunes Store. I keep a small windows install pretty much just for that because of where I'm at it can be a little hard to get new music (legally :) )

Here is a link to an article that gives you a brief overview of some alternatives:

Apparently the latest version doesn't work too badly - http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=12953

Have you not tried the AmazonMP3 Store? It works fine in linux and plus all the tracks are DRM free (sometimes they are even cheaper then iTunes tracks)

No I hadn't, but I'll look into that now. Thanks.
