    @HackAWeek ***> THIS! <*** I'm still buying CDs (and some vinyl) and ripping myself. Thrift stores still have a good selection of the older stuff, and Exact Audio Copy can even fix most of the errors. I thought iTunes dropped the DRM on music. No? Aren't those also only 128kbps AAC encoded?

  • WhensArmCore6 Lance (@WhensArmCore6) reported

    @DreamingKipai Boulevard of broken dreams was one of the first songs I bought on itunes. Yes, even I use to have bad taste, unbelievable I know but its the truth

  • derri_lewis derri joseph lewis (@derri_lewis) reported

    @jwatsonsaxes @fhvln @stuart_macrae iTunes Match — it upgrades any dodgy quality issues, and syncs it between my phone... seemed like the only way to get the physical disc onto my phone... unless you’ve done it another way? Tell all!!

  • IfOnly_1971 💙 Why not - In hiding 💙 (@IfOnly_1971) reported

    @Tesco Itunes gift card purchased through your self service for Christmas gifts haven't been activated. How do I get them activated?

  • meretirobye Tw // Kai (@meretirobye) reported

    @inoldskins It’s been 1 month 9 days it’s iTunes you can get no 1 the whole year. I think if it’s really not important like you say then it shouldn’t be a issue for other fans

  • dattmyar Deep State Always Wins (@dattmyar) reported

    @foosiesdad @iTunes Have it. They’re not censoring, but they are propping up the radical left through “woke marketing” & funding through their charitable arms. The service is good but all it does is play the same songs. If I could combine my 5 daily mixes into one master mix, that would be good.

  • perfectlywave athali (@perfectlywave) reported

    @bluebackupacc there was no point in mentioning sabrina or billie.. you could have just said that drivers license is #1 on us itunes and #2 on us apple music, no need to bring others down

  • JacksonSamurai Jackson BLM (@JacksonSamurai) reported

    @verge Love it enough to drop $30 for the entire series on iTunes so I never have to use @peacockTV terrible streaming service.

  • AustynWay Austyn Way (@AustynWay) reported

    @MacRumors iTunes remains terrible.

  • TheManWilson511 Dan Wilson (@TheManWilson511) reported

    @EdieGruber02 @Pink Eddie... I’m sure she’ll miss your 2$ iTunes download. Well played sir. Pink net worth down from $200 million to $199,999,998.00

  • TheOneBubba The One Bubba (@TheOneBubba) reported

    @realphilhendrie are you aware that you're podcast has been broken since. Jan 1? Tried to subscribe, got "Parser Exception"... the "listen on itunes" link on your page ends @ 1/1. Maybe it's a strategy to force traffic to you're website, but it's not a good one.

  • butter_blox ButterBlox (0/4) (@butter_blox) reported

    which this lady had already given a lot of money to the facebook lady, and this lady had a $50 iTunes giftcard in her hand my mom started asking questions and the lady kept cursing im very confused, but she is staring at the house rn with her window rolled down help

  • littleZGZmix LittleMixZgz (@littleZGZmix) reported

    @jadesdojaclit That’s our problem we do so well on iTunes and apple music But our Spotify streams are awfull

  • sftokarski Stephen Tokarski 🍚 (@sftokarski) reported

    @tenberryten @techblocpdx This has been a known problem with iPhones for years, but they haven't dealt with it because they want you to buy a new phone. Only solution I found was to do a full reset of phone via connecting to computer and using iTunes

  • RomeyNorton Romey Norton (@RomeyNorton) reported

    I can't believe how much trouble I'm having with my #iPhone today. Nothing but the apple logo and "update errors" on iTunes since 8am this morning. @AppleSupport It would be great if you could just update my phone from your end, or take the update away. I need my phone for work!

  • henryg_txt Henry Ginsburg (@henryg_txt) reported

  • iMikla Michael Aichlmayr (@iMikla) reported

    @HackAWeek I'm glad I haven't had to deal with that fushizzle! What little music I've bought from iTunes I always move straight to the server and play on a Pi ruining OSMC with Kodi.

    “I’m having trouble importing my 311 CD into iTunes” is a sentence I just said that is so on brand. What year am I living in.

    @exileoutsold @NilsSj0bergStan I have no problem supporting olivia when there is nothing to do. But the only thing that saves "willow" and makes it stable is (miraculously) UK (Both on apple music, itunes and spotify) for the ww charts

  • frenzychilly Lisa (@frenzychilly) reported

    If I post on Instagram with songs that are copyrighted, they take down the post in countries that have such copyright laws then I go & appeal. I appeal & win because I bought the songs on iTunes & they will immediately restore my post.

  • zayn4119 ZAYN_VIBEZ (@zayn4119) reported

    @zaynsfilms we need to focus on itunes sales its going down crazy 😴

  • jeffhnaz Biden is illegitimate! jeffhnaz (@jeffhnaz) reported

    So parler is banned on Google and itunes because they don't want to give up 230 protections that twitter and facebook abuse. Why are they not banned from Google and apple ? Facebook was how the mobs who burned cities down organized. As well as Twitter

  • borhapblues teuta⁷ married blonde jungkook (@borhapblues) reported

    @icaruslovebot NO PROBLEM BUY VIBEZ ON ITUNES

  • Patrick1701D Patrick Musson (@Patrick1701D) reported

    Anyone know where I can watch the TV show "Kim's Convenience"? It's on Netflix, but I cancelled Netflix because I was so disgusted with their support of the p**o movie "Cuties" and 'Kim's' only appears on Netflix. It's not listed on iTunes, or any 'decent' streaming service.
