Run iTunes on Tahoe using Rosetta

I have tired to use the new Music App and it is so buggy I really want to downgrade back to Mojave. But I don't want to miss out on all the other cool stuffs.


So I was wondering, is it possible to run iTunes on Tahoe using Rosetta? I am able to use other apps, so there should be a way to patch iTunes to run in the latest Mac OS via Rosetta right?


I wish someone can do this for us.

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 26.1

There was a project on GitHub called RetroActive that allowed iTunes and some other older apps to run on macOS Catalina and later, however that has been discontinued and does not support macOS Sequoia or later. See Managing your Mac media libraries - Apple Community for advice on transitioning your iTunes library into Music, TV, etc.
