Beginner tip: iTunes in Linux

[rc45]

I had been missing iTunes from my Windows days, and recently got iTunes working on my Linux laptop for the first time, so I thought I'd try to save another beginner some time by spelling it out here...
Start by installing Bottles (it's available as a Flatpak in the Mint repository, which makes it easy).
Get a copy of an iTunes .exe file (I downloaded version 12.8, as I'd read that had worked for someone).
Open Bottles, make a new Bottle (of the Application type), then select 'Run Executable' & point it to your iTunes .exe file.
That's it! It should just work! It might be a bit slow and/or have small blocky fonts & stuff, but it's easy and it works! Yay!
One other thing: if you want to see the files you download in iTunes, go to your iTunes Bottle, click the "vertical dots" menu button near the top right corner, and select 'Browse Files'. From there you can navigate to the 'iTunes Media' folder (for me it's users>[name]>Music>iTunes); you can even make a shortcut/symlink to it to save time in the future. Double yaysies!
Hope this helps someone.

Sadly I had no success no matter what version of Itunes.exe I used with 'Bottles', 'Playonline' or 'Samba', all I got was repeated errors
