I'm trying to find out if there's any way to get iTunes working on Linux Mint. I need to download it for my music library, but I'm not sure if it's possible. Any tips?

If you really need iTunes, running a Windows virtual machine with KVM could be a solution. You could set it up to sync your devices through Windows, which might be less hassle in the long run.
Unfortunately, iTunes isn't directly available for Linux Mint. However, you could look into alternatives that provide similar features. A lot of users find that other music players, like Amarok or Strawberry, work really well for managing music libraries without the need for iTunes.
You might want to try running the Windows version of iTunes under Wine. While some people have gotten it to work, keep in mind it might be a frustrating experience since it doesn’t connect properly to the iTunes Store and lacks many functions you'd normally use.
There’s also an online Apple Music web player that might suit your needs if you're just looking to access your library. Check it out at the beta version for Apple Music—it could be a good alternative to iTunes.
True, but I guess OP isn’t looking for just music streaming.
That's what I heard too! It may run but it's mostly just a shaky MP3 player without the full iTunes experience.
