The first version of the iTunes Emulator has been released on github. There are still a few problems with it, but for the most part it should be fully usable for iTunes LPs.

There are a few features missing though which you may or may not run in to:

• No video support
• No waveform support
• No chapter support
• No XID support; which means you can't use this emulator to run your purchased LPs in a browser (yet!).

Apart from that most things should work just fine. You can even test against your actual music library by supplying the emulator with the location of your iTunes Music Library export XML file. This file however does not contain XIDs or cnIDs so your purchased iTunes LPs won't quite work yet. And since there is no Video support yet some other things may not function correctly either.

Plans for the (near) future:

• Implement missing features
• Create support for XIDs by clever use of the manifest.xml and a secondary mapping file.
• Implement music playback controls similar to those in iTunes when showing iTunes LPs fullscreen
• Document code and iTunes features

So get started by downloading the package. If you find any bugs please just let me know in the comments.
