-
Rick Adams (@riadams1) reportedAgain, @Sonos ??? 90 minutes on chat/phone with support staff to try (unsuccessfully) to re-establish connection to my iTunes Library. Same bullshit a lot of us went through in early 2024. And after a lot of lip service from leadership about being better. Nope ... not better ...
-
Phil Fitt (@PhilFitt) reported@AppleMusic @Sonos Tracks that have been uploaded using the iTunes Match service display the error but other songs won’t play either despite everything being fine before. I can get around this playing via Airplay or deleting from my library and re-adding from Apple Music.
-
Grey-Dee! (@DefGrady) reportedThere was a joke a LONGG while back on windo about a radio station, but i genuinely kinda want to see about making an online radio service. Something that old itunes can connect too, at least. But i feel like the amount of people who'd actually use it.. Low. but it could be fun!

Reggie Hawkins (@ReggieHawk17270) reported@Savage16May I sold my house. Bought a cheaper place out of town for lower taxes. And to avoid the bullshit water, garbage fees. Cancelled all unnecessary subscriptions. Down to only one internet tv provider no satellite. No iTunes.
-
Grok (@grok) reportedNo 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.

Sun_Devil (@sundevil10) reported@Dishasatra Solution is to create a virtual location in some other drive where you have space and provide that location to iTunes. I recently faced the same problem.

lulamile nkompela 🇿🇦 (@Bralu_nkompela) reported@Interredd @King1FoReal @Mo_Magoda Problem is these companies itunes/Spotify take almost 50% of the fee and artist like Zonke are not studio artist,they make use sessional musicians when they record so from the 50% they they need to pay these sessional musicians/studio time etc not making much from everything

✨twilight sparkle✨ (@TwiIySparky) reported@Sevo6xHPnVaRvbl @woah_pinkhorse @torako_tiger most likely or a rendering error from the itunes version
-
ticketmaster hate account (@ewelinaevis) reported@jisoofalafel im not... a fan messaged sorn about the issue and only then it was put on itunes even surpassing whatever bts song was trending at the time... their power was too much for cube to handle and ill never forgive for how they mistreated my girls
-
Adam Seymour (@ASeymour1878) reported@Joel_CP_70 @FBAwayDays "Terrible" song got to number 1 on iTunes btw

Tariq | The 𝕏 Investor (@Tariq_investor) reported$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.

Даня (@danya__kuzmin) reported@GetScarlet Hello. I am having troubles installing scarlet for the last couple days. After the timer runs up “open in iTunes” pops up. I press ok and nothing happens after. Everything worked okay before that. Could you possibly know what’s being the issue here?
-
Seth Lukas Hynes ✍️📕🧬🪐✨🤖👽🧠💻💉💉💉 (@SethHynes) reported@Miyakoottv Since the first-generation Apple TV cannot log into the iTunes servers as of 2018, it's completely useless today unless you hack an alternative OS onto it. Running Leopard, the Apple TV is a surprisingly stable and capable cut-down Mac.

perrohunter (@perrohunter) reported@1000kilobytes I'm starting to believe it's futile, I've been opening radar issues since 2015 about iTunes (now Music) library management, and the bugs are still there 10 years later
-
Tete🔥 | D-DAY (@cngrejito) reported@Chimyypg @ThePopBase Several members have historical records in iTunes that your tail burns with envy is not my problem girl
-
Alex Nguyen (@alexcooldev) reported@AjjjiAjii not problem i use itunes of my country it still work well
-
Rooster83 (@Rooster832) reported@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.

PrincessDianaRemix SOTY ᴺᴹ☆ﾒ𝟶🦄 (@ProudOfYouNicki) reportedMath aint mathing...... Alone 2M+ streams hours ago so possibly 2.25M-2.5M Globally so probably around 1.25M-1.5M from US now with barely any playlisting & it went down another spot on iTunes and iTunes is originally where we get Nicki doing numbers solo & collabs 😞
-
I⁷, misses BTS, (D-Day) (@nightstarjoon) reportedThat song that we had trouble taking the #1 place of on U.S. iTunes is all over my tiktok FYP
-
CF Stan (@nets64579) reported@luvmesum_sweet @Cyamtha84617841 I’m too scared to make a post 🙈 but our song is down to number 3 on ITunes. Are y’all still streaming. I wanted to stay on #1 for a couple more days.

Stuffed Burrito Entertainment (@StuffedBurritoE) reportedOh my gosh, #AppleMusic is so trash. I'm on a free trail, and the **** barely works. I mean, I guess you need to use it on an Apple product 'cause I can't log into itunes on my PC, it won't log into my Roku. Anyone else have issues with Apple Music?
-
c (@nIcgrmes) reportedi’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?
-
Stixu.io (@StickDiagrammer) reported@Gammitin You technically don't own the music on a CD you buy, either And I technically don't own the hypothetical stash of music that I got off Limewire back in the day I'm not a fan of iTunes (or whatever it's called these days), but it's not like it's just a streaming service
-
WASP in 4K (@4kWASP) reported@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
-
Nancy (mask wearing true believer) (@NancedOff) reportedDown 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?
-
Mitchell; (@BytownPhoto) reportedYou know what I don't get (also I really miss my itunes library) youtube music randomly omiting tracks from albums on their service. like ok. ignoring the randomly removing albums / items from libraries and general data controlling your playback experience.
-
Elena⁷ • military wife • 아포방포 (@namgistory) reported@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

Cranky Cold War Vet (@Bhess) reported@HSajwanization TBH Apple has never been very good at software. iTunes has sucked for years. Phone updates regularly have problems.
