    @isametry @atpfm Did I mention that Music for macOS is basically most of iTunes repackaged with a new UI and fewer features? Even down to the modal dialog boxes and same bugs.

    The gag is I don't even think Kittens cared about this Tyga track and its climbing up itunes cuz the locals like it. Lick was objectively terrible.

    @ShanlingAudio @FiiO_official Could you be more specific about what kind of information you need more? Serial number? Date of purchase? The music app doesn’t recognize a large number of iTunes songs on a SD card. The @FiiO_official M11 recognizes all songs. So the SD card isn’t the issue.

    Hey @AppleMusic - Why does the iTunes store disappear from the desktop interface when I sign in to Apple Music? I still want to buy albums.

    I reckon my old laptop slowed down since I got a new hard drive installed as my old hard drive crashed on iTunes file as it use to freeze a lot on iTunes when I bought my old laptop back in 2017 and I rebooted my old laptop to much and that could of caused the hard drive to die.

    @tswise @minnie_mag The ending credits were up lossless on Apple Music and iTunes for a while, but no service had the opening theme that I could find. I think I did actually get a copy of it directly from him, at one point, because I emailed and asked

    @habitualsbizzl 1989 era had neither Spotify nor iTunes. It has higher sales, acclaim, chart position and more awards than purpose. Sit down

    @the_mcgone I've known many people who have trouble with iTunes, as concerns media they already own suddenly being 'unavailable'. My wife lost her entire digital music collection when changing devices. The 'convenience' of the cloud, combined with corpo motives, have created a DRM nightmare.

    @JadenKorr5 @Itssan17 it was 70m to put on streaming service. Physical sales will add to what they make overall on streaming based on the spikes of subscribers during. The time of release. Also the dvd is based on availability vs having digital sales if it was sold on iTunes and google(it was not)

    @TheEconomist Dear Economist, I subscribe via apple iTunes. I have done for at least two years. Recently all of a sudden I cannot connect. I called your helpline, and your staff simply can’t find my id. I have spent hours on the phone just to be fobbed off by your phone service.

    @PowerTripKFAN @ZachHalverson @AjKFAN is there some issue with iTunes or why isn’t the second hour up on there? I don’t mind iHeart’s app but I’d rather not have to use it just to listen to the show

    @NaeGlow Why wouldn't he sell it on iTunes or in stores tho? If his issue is with streaming why would he not sell it?

    @jacobaldridge I can 100% guarantee it isn't there now. I'm also pretty sure it's never been on Australian Netflix. I think there's a rights issue. You can't even buy it on iTunes. I have researched this a little too extensively over the years.

    @atpfm Remember that Apple Music is not from Apple’s Software Engineering division (Craig). It is developed by the Eddy’s division (formerly iTunes). That division has terrible software development practices and management, and produces some of the worst Mac and iOS first party apps.

    @8kyeom @OFFICIALBTOB It’s fine…yes I did…you need itunes to open that, and it doesn’t work on mobile…download iTunes in your laptop/pc…sign in with your Apple ID, sync in your music library which automatically includes the album and there you can open it
