    You can only play DRM-free content from iTunes so yes to music (generally) and no to videos. To add your iTunes music to Boxee, just add the top level folder that contains on all your song files to the Local Sources in Boxee.

    Well, some video (like video podcasts) isn't DRM-protected, so it'll play. But yeah, nothing you purchase (like TV episodes) will play on ANY non-Apple device.

    There are a couple of rather inconvenient and difficult (not to mention illegal) ways to decrypt that content, but I'm not gonna get into that here.

    Apple wants their media to play on their devices and ONLY their devices. That's just the price you pay for playing in Apple's walled garden.
