    @brandonwatson09 You should be able to use the web only or some streaming devices to created an Apple ID. The problem with verification is if you are trying to use a previously used email. iTunes has been around since 2001. I was able to activate my Apple ID in Apple Music for Android sans CC.

    @KellyanneArt @splodgeness99 @zachheltzel If your laptops are windows you can rip to flac with a freeware program called Exact Audio Copy. iTunes can rip to Apple lossless but then you run into the problem of iPhones being very expensive storage-wise (and, like, generally)

  • Undyne_Arashi Undyne Arashi - ENVtuber 💜SUBATHON 9/24💜 (@Undyne_Arashi) reported

    I'm having a looot of issues with my iPhone connecting to Vtube Studio. I had to start opening iTunes to get it to connect for a while, and now it won't connect all together due to the phone not being recognized (and likely software updates). 1/2

  • DungeonMasterJG JG the Dungeon Master (@DungeonMasterJG) reported

    @Archarzel Physical media, no. Just a different sort of digital media, probably an on-demand service. Perhaps something like iTunes is (used to be?), where you purchase an album or song. But the streaming services have dug their own grave by everyone wanting in on it, splitting content.

  • mikeconnolly mikeconnolly (@mikeconnolly) reported

    @RFTWarReport is there a tech problem with the latest episode? I can’t stream it on iTunes

    @Lau18687631 They’re both currently available on iTunes, Tidal and Amazon. You don’t need a membership for Amazon only an account to login from same goes for Tidal.

  • brandonwatson09 Brandon Watson (@brandonwatson09) reported

    @Altavistagoogle My problem exactly. I had an Apple ID and an iTunes account tied to the same email before the switch to SSO. It couldn't sync w/o an Apple device. It took 5 people on the phone at Apple to figure it out and do an account reset. If you had an iPod 10 yrs ago, this may be difficult

  • collin_drake Collin Drake (@collin_drake) reported

    @ogmatteo Apple Music is a streaming service. iTunes is all media that you can purchase and own separate from a streaming service.

  • totallynotretro 🆁🅴🆃🆁🅾🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦 (@totallynotretro) reported

    @Satoshi54368 Oh yeah I can see that. I had an issue with some music that I wanted on Spotify but they weren’t. Found out if you buy an album on iTunes, it automatically gets added to your Apple Music library

  • kidofseph kidofseph (@kidofseph) reported

    @eldrummundo @Judges_beard @AndrewMarchand That's what my father ended up doing too, just grabbing my login info and using it. Linking to iTunes was what stopped him from wanting to continue because it's just another unnecessary product, and it wouldn't allow us to continue w/AppleTV until we completed that.

    Anybody else who uses an iPhone for face tracking that's been experiencing issues? I've done a bit of research but all of the info is the same. (side note, the cables all work and charge/ recognize the phone in itunes, I click trust computer - doesn't connect anyway).

  • theejeonjk sana 🏁 (@theejeonjk) reported

    @NlCKYPINKY nah let’s talk about the way a surprise collab got #1 on US itunes with 4K downloads and shut down peaked at #3 with 1.7K downloads 💀 we did not even have a full day of tracking you look GOOFY

  • scottjmcg Scott (@scottjmcg) reported

    I can only assume that Sam Smith song is No.1 on iTunes as a result of TikTok users suffering Stockholm syndrome from it being rammed down your throat every other vid.
