I know this has been posted many times before, but so far, I've only seen people saying that a portable iTunes won't work because it is a computer dependent program - it only works on one computer at a time. But is it possible to make it think that the USB device is the actual computer? ...and then I would just have to create a launcher for QuickTime?
I'm not asking for anybody to do this for me or even tell me how to do it. I'm just wondering if it's a possible idea to make iTunes a portable app without resulting to desktop virtualization.

I can't say much. But I can say that we won't be hosting iTunes Portable here, as even if it could be made portable with a launcher of some sort, it's copyrighted software for one big reason.
However, I believe Songbird Portable is in the works, and it supports iTunes.
and songbird rocks and it will sync ipods and everything

Songbird does rock. *patrick hugs the little bird and holds breath as it passes gas*

I wish Ryan would hurry it up *patiently waiting*

Just starting it now

I'll use Songbird when the bird stops passing gas, but I suspect Hell will freeze over first.
I think you're right.
Floola is an awesome iTunes alternative, I don't use iTunes at all any more. I just manually installed it in PortableApps on my iPod - it's already a standalone executable as it's designed to run from an iPod in disk mode. I use AtomicParsely to setup the tags correctly for TV episodes that I encode because Floola doesn't have the option of setting up the seasons etc, but apart from that, it can do nearly everything that iTunes can, although it's a little clunkier and slower. But if you persist, you'll really start to appreciate it. The only downside is it's not open source, but it's freeware, and "certified safe".
"certified safe"
What are you, the Surgeon General?
Failure is not an option. It comes bundled with Windows.
There actually is a logo that says "certified safe" on some download sites, believe it or not...
No, I believe you and I have seen them before. It just sounded funny when I read it
