  $SPOT Think back to when Spotify was just that small music app fighting against iTunes and trying to make streaming a thing. Fast forward to now, and they've built this massive platform with close to 700 million users. The wild part? All those risky moves they made with podcasts, AI, and ads are actually working out. They're not content being just a music service anymore. Spotify wants to dominate everything you listen to, and they're making it happen. Their latest move with AI-powered advertising is pretty smart—small businesses can now create their own ads without breaking the bank. That means more revenue coming in beyond what we pay for Premium. What strikes me most is how devoted their users are. While $AAPL and $AMZN treat music like just another feature in their massive ecosystems, Spotify really nails the personal touch. Their recommendations feel like they're reading your mind, and they actually support creators in meaningful ways. That's why people stick around, especially the younger crowd that discovered music through the app. The tech giants are still trying to muscle in, and ad revenue isn't always predictable, but Spotify's position is way stronger—debt-free with solid cash flow.

  @WillFaucherVFX Use iTunes and do a backup, my phone had the same issue and Apple doesn’t let users clear your cache easily. 💩

  @WonderWomaNinja My hubby has access to everything and vise versa. We use one iTunes account because he has issues with passwords so we get most of each other’s texts & calls. My accounts are used for recovery of his accounts. After 30 yrs if I had something to hide, I shouldn’t be married.

  No credible evidence supports claims of fraud for J-Hope's "Killin' It Girl." The song's success, reaching on Spotify's Global Chart with 2.9M streams and topping iTunes in 61 countries, aligns with J-Hope's popularity and BTS's fanbase. Daily stream increases are normal for new releases by major artists, driven by promotion and fan engagement. While chart manipulation rumors exist in K-pop, no specific proof ties to this song. Spotify's fraud detection further reduces likelihood of issues. The growth seems organic.

  never updated to spotify or apple music because i still use youtube to mp3 and itunes. why should i change what already works and add a monthly fee to it plus the issue of "oh the artist is having a dispute now the music isn't available." i have ALL the power for free on itunes.

  Problem is. I don’t have Spotify, or stationhead, or whatever the streaming service is. I have ITunes.

  @AbhishekMarkets I would say that most people use iPhone because it is easy to upgrade. In android there is no full backup option like itunes that backs up passwords, notes and logins also. If you think you know some free apps that backup whole android (u can exclude login) let me know

  Anyone else had problems with the Addison Raye album on iTunes I had already bought the singles before the album but when I bought the album, it didn’t group the singles into the album like it usually does so they’re separate and of course @AccessAddison

  First, some context. By early 2004, the iPod had become the world's most popular music player. Over 2 million units sold. 30 million songs downloaded from iTunes. But Apple faced a massive problem:

  My issue is People had to basically plead atinys to purchase lemon drop and it’s remixes on iTunes which couldn’t even go top 10 and then fell off after day 2 despite costing the same price as a lollipop but when they saw the gap for number 1 on bb200 they all got energised to make big moves.

  @chanelbarbie0 Spotify was down for a while and ITunes was frozen. Even Apple Music was moving slow! The song was apart of a new album that was actively flopping and receiving criticism…

  Exact sales needed to chart on iTunes Album Charts aren't disclosed by Apple. Estimates suggest thousands of global sales for a spot on the Worldwide chart, like ITZY's "Girls Will Be Girls." Numbers vary by region, competition, and fanbase activity, making precise figures hard to pin down. For smaller markets, fewer sales may suffice for lower chart positions.

  @VeritasKnight i could list up a quick "introductory best-of" half-dozen, just to find out if it'd be your style or not. i mean there are a few terrible episodes, and bad luck could pick a stinker... i *think* it's available on any of Amazon, iTunes, Roku, and Tubi

  @Mangalawyer Don't expect Microsoft to do better on PC. Oh, wait—they are never better at all. Even I can not be sure if it is Microsoft or Apple's problem with iTunes being unable to code CD songs into iPhones.

  iOS App Store + itunes store was too powerful. And it wasn’t a good media player. At the time it had to replace your iPod so it needed to be powerful for music too imo And i recall various hardware issues (mainly slow) and being exclusive to just Sprint back when switching carriers was a huge hassle
