  @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.

  @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.

  @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.

  @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

  You 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.

  @Mononokeva_TV @PJiggles_ As if we haven’t made jokes about the iTunes terms of service being signing our life away for 20 years.

  @HONGSMINGKI I think part of the problem is I have no idea where to stream. I am constantly playing the music video but I only learned about iTunes last night.

  @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

  The point is that even though my phone is connecting to iTunes, it won't let me add any songs or albums. It just says "An error occurred while trying to connect to the iTunes Store." Is there anything I can do?

  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

  @AINEE07275 @svnwithu_ @Koobidivines They changed the rules for the BTS store to avoid the filtering issue, and it's really not hard to buy on itunes and amazon. We always seem to hear these kinds of excuses when it comes to supporting Yoongi.

  Dear @Apple , This has been the most frustrating hour EVER. I am trying to make an account so I can login in to the iTunes store and buy a song. - undefined error at first screen - locked - verify codes not arriving - "can't send code to this phone" - does not work in Firefox

  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

  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 ran into several issues updating to iOS 26 - Windows users CANNOT update to iOS 26 yet iTunes & Apple Devices app say that you must update your app in order to upgrade to iOS 26 3uTools runs into the issue saying there's some http error with systemtime, Older macOS devices too, and unUpdated iPhones too, say that it requires an update to download iOS 26, but 3uTools on Mac works. While writing this, I flashed my phone!

  @Grummz If I can figure out a way to mix Android with macOS (Apple TV movies and iTunes), then I can see jumping. Problem is Google is Android, or it was. Like I said, need to research.

  @rustytatra @Gammitin But all totally inaccessible and unavailable unless you first download and install the itunes spyware app, create an account, sign in and provide payment details, then perhaps it might be possible to see what is available. Physical media requires none of that BS.
