  itunes is separate to apple music and isn’t a streaming service at all so you can buy through there even if you’re streaming on spotify! if you are using apple music though then make sure to delete LD from your library before streaming again!

  @AppleMusic @Sonos Tracks that have been uploaded using the iTunes Match service display the error but other songs won’t play either despite everything being fine before. I can get around this playing via Airplay or deleting from my library and re-adding from Apple Music.

  Question: Has anyone else experience this issue with their iPod 2nd gen? I had GreenPoisi0n install a new firmware on my device, and now it won't connect to the iTunes store or any other applications. It says "ipod 2nd gen not connected to the network" and "error 1234". Help!

  Oh my gosh, #AppleMusic is so trash. I'm on a free trail, and the **** barely works. I mean, I guess you need to use it on an Apple product 'cause I can't log into itunes on my PC, it won't log into my Roku. Anyone else have issues with Apple Music?

  @PureDeadCouchy @GamingSinceNES Honestly depends on a lot of different factors like your internet connection what service you're using etc etc but I believe iTunes and movies anywhere have dobly Atmos and vision and I believe they both stream at around 30mbps.

  @jayrlytromp The sales are definitely higher but the problem is I can’t see iTunes sales or Apple Music streams bc Apple doesn’t share those metrics. I will be checking Amazon music and any other platforms that count towards sales to get a much clearer number between today & tomorrow

  My speaker jack is doing that thing where it opens up iTunes without you asking it to and yesterday it did it while I was giving a presentation. I'm fast now tho so shut it down while it was still in the first bell of Hell's Bells. 🫢

  i’m not confusing anything! okay so for example, the banned from no remix, because that’s been causing discourse within the fanbase. sure, it went #1 on itunes due to the barbz’s support, but it tanked in streaming bc the gp didn’t know/care about it to listen to it. this is where the problem lies. we all know barbz are gonna defend nicki down. but who’s gonna carry the success of her music? bfn remix didn’t even have enough points to have her credited on the song. what’s gonna happen when she drops nm6 and it tanks bc only a handful of people are buying it on mf itunes?

  This is impressive considering that Itunes is a streaming service to buy/rent films so almost always the top films on itunes are new movies that are still in movie theaters but available for on demand. Or new movies that just came out the movie theaters for exclusive on demand.

  @GetScarlet Hello. I am having troubles installing scarlet for the last couple days. After the timer runs up “open in iTunes” pops up. I press ok and nothing happens after. Everything worked okay before that. Could you possibly know what’s being the issue here?

  @Krytopsy @EA iTunes hasn't had DRM on music in a very long time, yet somehow music piracy really isn't the problem it used to be back when it was all locked down. Remove the DRM, people will buy your product.

  with my return of Iphone to her with the request that the phone number be terminated or at least that ATT be informed that the phone was broken and I had/have no ability to fix it and thus I gave it back to her. Following that I had no access to my legally purchased Itunes books

  first of all, I'm so sorry I had to tell this and might be cancelled too. but, I can't prevent anyone to buy haegeum and DDay tracks on itunes, BUT this kinda alarming because jm solos team up to put down haegeum :') so you know what to do.

  @SAS2you @dickwarlock13 yes, she said that one phone that depp allegedly throw out the window (in reality SHE was the one throwing HIS phone out), she said its broken and on this was evidence. and she had no backup. who in their right mind believes that she had no backop on itunes or cloud???

  @Dishasatra Solution is to create a virtual location in some other drive where you have space and provide that location to iTunes. I recently faced the same problem.

  So far, Apple Music/iTunes is still bloatware with a terrible interface and broken functionality. Sad. #WWDC25

  Why is the Music app on Mac unable to play albums gapless? Apple solved this problem in iTunes 20 years ago @tim_cook

  remember when you could buy music videos on itunes? $1.99, yours forever. I played the ones I paid for. now i’m just waiting— to see if UMG forgets we had a contract. what happens if they take down what I own?

  Maybe the Barbz should make our own streaming service/chart system. All we need is people relying and using it like Billboard and ITunes Charts, right? What makes Billboard official and not sound cloud charting unofficial? Artist? Money? Business? Nicki alone can launch this ****
