Hi Adrian, Apple doesn’t follow XDG standards—and neither do Chromebooks, for the most part—but this might nonetheless be of some help… “iTunes” (the application), while it did incorporate ”iTunes” (the music store) pretty early on, was mainly designed for offline listening and synchronizing attached devices. “iTunes” (the application) no longer really exists (except as an unrelated standalone storefront on iPhones). In its place is a much more lightweight music-listening application and separate device-management frameworks. Unlike with their operating systems, Apple has tried to make its media stores and media subscriptions available on as many platforms a possible, and this includes making much of the core functionality available in a web browser, as with Spotify, Netflix, and the like. So while I don’t think you can “purchase” music from “iTunes” (the store) on the web, you should be able to listen to previously “purchased” on the Apple Music website, and if you “purchased” music from the iTunes Store in the past, you can export it (on Mac or Windows) and then reimport it into any web-based music “locker” service, most of which should work on your Chromebook. As for using “iTunes” (the application) on a Chromebook (such as for exporting “purchased” music), it may be possible to run the Windows version of the application using the framework “Wine”, either on the the Chromebook’s underlying Linux subsystem or on a cloud-based virtual private server, but… again, that really isn’t related to XDG specifications. If you want to try using iTunes on Wine, this DuckDuckGo search should help you get started: Best, Elsie Hupp On Jul 16, 2023, at 11:20 PM, adrian Nira <ampcs.adriann...@gmail.com> wrote:
