Required features (operator, 2026-10-28): library and playback, and adding one's own MP3s.

Mount a host music folder into the container. Decide where the iTunes Media folder and iTunes Library.itl live so they persist outside the prefix.
Import with File → Add Folder to Library, and by drag-and-drop if the display supports it.
Play an MP3 and an AAC file under Xvfb with an audio sink (a PulseAudio null sink or PipeWire in the container), and confirm the output by recording it, not by ear.
Note what breaks: artwork, tag editing, CD import (out of scope unless free).

Done when an imported MP3 shows up in the library with its tags and plays to the sink, and both survive a container restart.
