I have an iPod dilemma was which application to use to manage it. There are great application in linux like Amarok,SongBird which are good but only to an extend( certainly only for iPod) . They don't support album art which I love to have. Songbird even corrupts existing ones u transferred from iTunes.
So I was determined to have only use my iPod with iTunes. So I decided to install windows using VirtualBox. The installation went smoothly and soon I logged into Windows XP. Networking was working fine. Ir just worked out of the box I was able to browse Internet. ( Of course I did allocate a good 512 MB RAM for my virtual windows and 5 GB of disk space).
But one and may be only one thing I wanted was not working - USB devices. There was a work around like this
sudo mount -t usbfs none /proc/bus/usb/ -o devgid=130,devmode=666
Fortunately after I installed all windows updates even without this hack it worked out of the box :). Don't ask me what changed.
Then everythig got perfect the Windows worked perfectly fine inside VirtualBox.
