  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.

  @Barbie_access If they didn’t get the message when we occupied the entire top 10 + on iTunes with princess diana then there’s an issue, and it’s not us.

  @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

  @FikirtemariamG a hero was walking around the merch line offering cash to US people to buy on Haegeum on Itunes and they turned her down "we stream" and "I don't use iTunes" :(

  Mariah Carey iTunes Chart (@MariahCharted) reported 16 minutes ago

  @iTunes Please look into .@MariahCarey's "Type Dangerous" single, despite its dominance on every platform some fans are having problem purchasing the single and it has not appeared on any iTunes Chart despite selling a great amount with 4 hours of its release (VERY UNCOMMON)!

  @AbhishekMarkets I would say that most people use iPhone because it is easy to upgrade. In android there is no full backup option like itunes that backs up passwords, notes and logins also. If you think you know some free apps that backup whole android (u can exclude login) let me know

  @TwitterBlue is the new U2 “Songs of Innocence” Album on iTunes, 99.9% of people don’t want it, but it’s being shoved down their throats lol

  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. 🫢

  never updated to spotify or apple music because i still use youtube to mp3 and itunes. why should i change what already works and add a monthly fee to it plus the issue of "oh the artist is having a dispute now the music isn't available." i have ALL the power for free on itunes.

  @ClassicCNFan @NaruMembrane When iTunes adds complete series to their service, that usually means a complete series DVD box set's coming soon.

  when I was ten I bought monster by lady gaga on itunes and it was the explicit version and I instantly got so scared that i’d get in trouble I told my parents on myself and my step dad tried to get apple to refund and undownload it from my ipod

  @BigPurrPurr @Angeliinaaax_ @MrsTOH2O Thank you. It’s like it’s 2 factions. 1) OG-iTunes/Apple Music Lib & 2) Apple Music + that you now pay $10/mon for. Before AM was a place where we could take our own cds upload into the app, & buy music from iTunes & make playlists for free. This pay service changed everything.

  Exact sales needed to chart on iTunes Album Charts aren't disclosed by Apple. Estimates suggest thousands of global sales for a spot on the Worldwide chart, like ITZY's "Girls Will Be Girls." Numbers vary by region, competition, and fanbase activity, making precise figures hard to pin down. For smaller markets, fewer sales may suffice for lower chart positions.

  @icecube Use FindMy to issue the command to wipe it remotely in case it goes online. Most likely a baggage handler took it- they'll connect it to iTunes, erase it, and reinstall iOS. Highly unlikely you're getting it back.

  They down play being #1 on iTunes (an artist generating pure revenue from the interest around their brand mind you) cuz the last 20 btch3s who dropped weren’t able to do it. Can’t even break even on ROI bc their label too busy buying placements forcing ppl to have interest 😭

  @ronnieplonk I read! I have a couple of songs by the Leaves on my iTunes (yes, I'm that Boomer! 😝) but I need to down load more based on that thread.

  @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?

  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.

  @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.

  @myyoutae Not necessarily. A lot depends on how much of the gp use a streaming service, and how consistent they are. In this case, it's even different: iTunes chart is impacted by sales, something that Spotify doesn't do

  @WillFaucherVFX Use iTunes and do a backup, my phone had the same issue and Apple doesn’t let users clear your cache easily. 💩
