Linux Mint 18.3 comes with 2 different music players already installed (you need to tell the installer to "install third-party software for graphics and wifi hardware, flash, mp3 and other media"

There are many, many music players that are available in Linux but they are all better than that dreadful iTunes. Since iTunes is a terrible music player, I would say that there is many better alternatives in Linux.

Is the question is more about where to buy your music instead of iTunes?

Or maybe the question has to do with podcast providers.

In support of previous two questions:
- What you need iTunes for?
- Do you have content currently stored into Windows/Mac iTunes, bought from iTunes store?

i wanted something like itunes where i can download music and video but a linux alternative. i do have content in itunes that i would bring over if i find something legitimate. i'm thinking bittorrents might be the way i have to go which i don't want to do. i don't won't pirated content because based on my experience there's always something wrong with it in one way or another.

just use vlc and I'm pretty sure if you want videos you can steal them of youtube. loudtronix.co

does amazon allow you to download music and videos like itunes? if thats the case i can do that and just use the default media player that come with the distro. i was hoping linux would have an app like itunes but i guess not

I download my music from the amazon music web site. I know default music player banshee offers I have tried once it failed to download. Others that may are Rhythmbox, and maybe Guayadeque and GMusicBrowser.

I would test them yourself before you install one. As for video in linux you can watch Netflix and Amazon video if you install google chrome which has to be a download from the web. Login to each and enjoy.
