    @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

    Down to my last $4.14 on my iTunes account - do I use some of it for the song I'm thinking of downloading only to then remember a song I would rather have bought, or do I wait?

    @HSajwanization TBH Apple has never been very good at software. iTunes has sucked for years. Phone updates regularly have problems.

    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.

    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.

    While we wait for @MariahCarey and her team to fix the iTunes issue (listed as an album instead of a single which is why is not appearing on any charts and people can't find it) #TypeDangerous, be sure you grab your copy of the single on Amazon! @MariahAlerts

    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?

    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.

    @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

    @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.

    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.

    @InsaneMegaCD Apple used to have this problem with iTunes in like 2009 then like most DRM they let you deauthorise a device remotely. Kids break Switchs, sometimes the original device is destroyed. This shows how behind the times Nintendo is.

    $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.

    @QCWorldwide The problem with the barbz they don't wanna push songs post first week, like they want princess diana @ 1 for the first week then go cold that's all they don't push songs after first week chart I mean look at alone it hasn't reached 1 on itunes yet,no promo and buying parties

    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.

    @avilla01_ @DAZNBoxing I receive email receipts from Apple/iTunes whenever a purchase is made. There’s a link in the email to report a problem. I reported it yesterday and had the refund this morning. Then canceled DAZN.

    @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.

    @grantdfindlay @ljin18 The issue is price. CDs no matter the quality are $10. iTunes tracks are $1. NFTs have an insane range and that range is always changing so anyone can see the possibility of buying low and selling high.
