iTunes for Linux - PLEASE!

Hello there.

I just want to ask, if Apple is ever planning iTunes version for Linux, because over Wine it simply doesn't work and over Play-on-linux neither.

I really don't see how difficult it could be. Apple can get it to compile on OS X, so Linux shouldn't be much more work. I have money in my iTunes account and I want to use it! I deposited the money when I was running Windows 10, now I've changed to Linux Mint (which is better btw).

Please someone reply. Thank you.

Windows, Windows 10

Although we're not allowed to speculate about what Apple might or might not do, this question has been brought up before and I think it is reasonable, especially now that iTunes is not used on the latest version of Mac OS (that's OS Catalina), to let you know what the most likely scenarios is.

It is very unlikely that there will ever be a Linux version of iTunes. Linux is not a widely used operating system, despite what you may think, so it is probably not worth Apple spending the time writing it.

I don't know how that works. Try contacting the store, possibly here: iTunes - Official Apple Support

That's actually a link to the UK store, so you may see a message asking you which country you want. Obviously, not the UK.

No problem. Worth a try.

On a side note, do you know if I can get my money back from Apple? That is to say, I have around AUD$20 to spend in the Apple iTunes store, but now I can't, so I'd like it back!
