    (Pt 3) @AppleSupport To be clear, when I buy a movie in @iTunes on @windows 10, it doesn't show up in iTunes on Win10. I have to go to my Mac to see it. So it's an iTunes/Win10 issue.

    @kutcorners @MrSonnyJames @djfranchise Interesting, I have probably just about as many remixes in my library as anybody, never had this issue. iTunes Match doesn't replace your files by default, you have to manually do that. Thanks for the input!

    @tconspiracyguys Goodpods is another one that is doing the right thing with regards to reviews. The ones doing it properly just show how much of a problem review bombing on Apple/iTunes is. I think Audible/Amazon requires you to have listened for a certain amount of time too.

    Acer... Alan has a double problem! Both the Windows OS and the iTunes software have both declined in quality and usability! We need to go back to conditions in 2012 which was the high point of quality software! It has declined since then! Soon Windows 7 will be too obsolete!

    @VNV_Nation I just bought Kingdom off the iTunes store, right out of the album, track #2 on Empires. But.. it's the wrong track. I mean, it's "Kingdom" but it's some weird recording that is NOT the version I remember. I'll be reporting a problem and refusing the purchase.

    @AppleSupport I switched last week my iTunes Match account into Apple Music. However, my Match account was automatically renewed and billed last night. Why? This doesn’t seem right.. I expect my 24.99 to be reimbursed. Also, still issues with lossless Apple Music. Is it linked?

    Hey @iTunes Are you having any issues today? I'm using Windows iTunes 12.12.2.2 and I keep getting prompted to sign in every 45 minutes. It's never done this before. I wonder if it could be due to something on your end before I waste any time on my end.

    @timirrrlan I couldn't go to a theater when FFH was in cinemas. So when I had the chance I bought it, I really liked Homecoming, thats how much faith I had in it. Terrible, really pissed off that I got it on iTunes and couldn't get a refund.

    @stanwarecook @SupremeDeist @cIass_man EMP the Spotify data centers and outlaw any cell phone service faster than 3g so that everyone has to go back to downloading purchased albums over itunes and syncing them to their personally-curated iPods.

    @MikeCzech Using a MBP. Some how the files were corrupted. They won't play even in iTunes and I cant convert them to MP3. They worked fine before dropbox so that has to be the issue

    @borland The server for itunes etc afaik is still java as well. With all the server side swift IBM'S been pushing I'm surprised it's not weaved it's way on Apples side either.

    Danisa Lusha (@Lusha2009) reported

    @TVMoJoe I never used iTunes but is possible to download media you bought from to your local drive? If that is the case, I suggest you do that. Is it always good practice to have a spare backup harddrive just in case. No internet no problem. No iTunes app no problem.

    Honestly, we wished for a "drama" so it can motivate us in going all out to buy Before430 on iTunes. Even if we empty our credit cards no problem, even if we will have to walk from US to Nigeria after Christmas holiday. now there's "drama" #MewSuppasit @MSuppasit #มิวศุภศิษฏ์

    @MikeCzech I use iTunes with Serato. When selecting my music folder to be backed up with Dropbox, it moved my folder inside the “Dropbox/“ folder. That created doubles in Serato with half being broken links…

    I really don't understand how @Apple maintains the image of the good guys. How no legislator sees any problem in their evil push to own all your data in iCloud / Music / TV / Photos (I can't sync my iPhone manually anymore) since they removed iTunes is just mindblowing.

  • MikeCzech
    Mike Czech (@MikeCzech) reported

    @DJMarcoPenta I have never not used Serato with iTunes since 2005. Serato points a lot of fingers at Apple / iTunes for tech issues, but in my experience Serato is typically the culprit. Serato has a horrible, miserable, no good file management system, and they haven't improved much in 15 yrs.
