    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.

    @TrveCvltPop Awww that U2 album got loaded onto everyone's ITunes & the latest iPhone at the time, brings back memories of that episode of broken records of that album, talking about how that the whole thing devalued music even the same thing was said when Radiohead released In Rainbows

    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

    In my messing around with third party music apps for the phone, I forgot about the watch, which none of the options I saw seem to support. I think I am going to have to install iTunes. This is terrible. Maybe I'll build a separate PC just to quarantine it.

    @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.

    @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.

    False. Music “purchased” through iTunes, you’re not buying the music itself, you’re buying a license to use the music. While it has the illusion of ownership, you don’t actually own it, ie you need to sign in and authorize your computer for the music files to work, you are limited to burning the songs to disc 7 times total, songs not downloaded or backed up can disappear if the content right holders pull their license with Apple, not allowed to sell or trade or anything beyond personal use with the music, etc.

    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

    I seriously don't know what the problem is with playing from iTunes Home Sharing onto my Apple TV units. One is a 4K, and the other is the basic model which lacks USB and Ethernet. I've done every possible thing to get it working, and it ceases to work. On Windows 11. Time to go Mac only and see if it works.

    @N11nyNancy @brk_mira How do we suck at multitasking when we kept 3 jm songs on spotify global at the same time for a month and they are still doing well? People are scared to buy from the official store but there is no issue with itunes or amazon. There is no excuse for bot entering charts at all

    The first episode of OVA 2 for Attack on Titan is currently unavailable to purchase on iTunes and Funimation. This is due to a licensing issue with the anime. It is not known when or if the episode will be available again. I need your help.

    @taetan77 Billboard, itunes, numerous records on spotify plus his numbers are great, has charting albums in so many countries around the world and I could keep going on but just go back to your main and stop talking about hoseok instead of trying to bring him down

    @SuspenseP35 @BoldExaltus The 12 movies, likely including The Shawshank Redemption, can be downloaded from platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, iTunes, Google Play, Vudu, or Microsoft Store, depending on your region. Check availability for each title, as not all may be downloadable. Use legal platforms to avoid piracy issues. Services like JustWatch can help locate specific movies.

    @SphynxterRisen2 I have a plex server but I like getting 4K HDR and sometimes even 3D movies (for Vision Pro) so I usually just buy movies dirt cheap on sale. My iTunes library has been running since the iPod days and I have hundreds of movies

    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. 🫢

    @utsavtechie To do any operation with iCloud, istorage,itunes is extremely complicated. With iphone it becomes even more clumsy. Even first sign in itself is tough for a first timer. This also is one of the reasons for ordinary people to not use it.

    @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.

    I have had a few issues with my jailbreak since upgrading to Palera1n. The first time it happened, I was using Cydia Impactor and my phone would just randomly turn off. After running some diagnostics, I found out that my battery was at 0% so I restored it using iTunes.
