Hi guys! I would like to report a great success! I use linux as my primary OS. I wanted to Spirit JB an iPod Touch. WINE has no USB support. So, (on Lucid Lynx) I installed VirtualBox (NOT OSE). I installed and activated my copy of XP that came with the computer I was on. In the settings for the VM, I chose the USB settings. Then, I probed devices (on the right hand side, under the "+"), and my iPod was found. Edit the filter settings (on the right side), and clear all boxes except the "Name". This is just in case a different device ID is used in recovery. Once booted, the iPod will mount. After that, Spirit works as normal.
