Disclaimer: I'm aware that this has little to do with Cider software, and the dev team can't do anything to make this easier for me. I'm asking here because the internet doesn't seem to have answers for me on this, and I think this community probably has experience with this problem.

Does anyone have any advice on how to upload local files into iTunes if I'm on linux?

I've tried installing iTunes in the Bottles flatpak and fedora system package, but I get a black, glitchy window and no network access for iTunes.
