Yes, this is a nice music player. I have used it on OpenSuse and I liked it.
Now I’am using Ubuntu with Amarok but I will sure install aTunes.

I used to love this player, I was using it on my windows and linux but recently I removed it from Linux, the only bad thing about it is Java, I hate programs made with Java, they are so slow.
