    Hi Guys

    I understand you cannot use itunes on chromebook but I was wondering is there a work around as I am considering buying a chromebook. For example is it possible to connect an external hardrive to the chromebook download itunes to the hardrive and work off itunes through the external harddrive ?

    No, iTunes is Windows or Mac only so it won't ever and never will work on a Chromebook - it's not what they're designed for I'm afraid.

    This is not to say you can't access your current iTunes library on your Chromebook, that's easily managed with iTunes on a Windows PC + Google Music Manager.

    Nope, you could remotely access another PC or server that has Windows + iTunes from your Chrome book but iTunes will never work on a Chromebook. Its a media / web consumption device.

    You obviously may not understand what a Chromebook is, it uses Google online services only, you do not install software or store data on it, it needs internet access at all times to be usable
