iPhone music syncing is done through the Apple Music app nowadays (and Finder in macOS). The iPhone has never had drag and drop music transferring as an out of the box experience, and has always depended on iTunes or Music.app .
I’m sad to say, but if you want to load local music files to your iPhone, you’ll need to try to install Apple Music via wine and do it that way.
I had seen some using like rhythmbox or strawberry but couldn’t figure those out. I guess I’ll just get iTunes or whatever then shouldn’t be hard to get it running through wine, but might be annoying to set up with my music library being on a different drive.
I tried to install iTunes via Wine a little while back and had no success. It's possible that I did something wrong, but I just couldn't get it to run. The same with Apple Music.
However, I have had success running it through WinBoat, though that obviously comes with the caveat of having to run Windows in a VM, and you'll need to route your music library accordingly. Also, you'll need to install an older version of iTunes because the most recent version only works with podcasts and video bought through the iTunes store. But the end result is that I was able to use it to transfer music to my iPod mini.
