    @sweetdrivee apple music is a streaming service too, you are thinking of itunes

  • MichaeIChapman MichaeI Chapman (@MichaeIChapman) reported

    @SalCornetta @jreidchapman Still new to it, but so far I’m really liking how library-focused it is. I feel like the music I’ve saved is mine, much like an old iTunes library. With Spotify, I felt like I was just searching for stuff on a communal server every time, if that makes sense.

  • mainstmagic Jeremy (Main Street Magic) (@mainstmagic) reported

    @JoelleMonique Just with iTunes right? I am having the same issue today with my show!

  • MugginsMcS Paul Casey (@MugginsMcS) reported

    @chrisbournea If it is out of print/unavailable, I have no problem with watching something on Youtube. I think that is a valuable service of collectors and experts. If it is freely available on iTunes/Amazon etc., I generally avoid them these days. Used to tho when I was younger/no money.

  • FaruqBashar BASH-AAR🔞 (@FaruqBashar) reported

    For all the times I’d log out of my iTunes and Apple Music will wipe all the songs I downloaded with my hard earned data, **** them and by bye to their service.....Spotify way 🚀

  • clipzdzn clipz (@clipzdzn) reported

  • kvspell ً (@kvspell) reported

    amis having a melt down when b&g went 1 on us itunes so i don’t want to hear it

  • seandammit sean*kan*tro*witz (@seandammit) reported

    Is there any app that has become gradually more useless, broken, and frustrating to operate than iTunes?

  • smellierpulpit oldhead of the baldy sort (@smellierpulpit) reported

    @JillFano2 I’m going down all the stuff iTunes has now with great hopes haha

  • thesleezyman Drew Stoltz (@thesleezyman) reported

    @BPLindberg There’s some issue with Podbean...where we launch it. So it hasn’t gone out to iTunes or anything. There’s a link on @golf_subpar to listen though. Hopefully fixed soon

  • tcote Thierry Côté (@tcote) reported

    @sigh__oh I have a Chromecast but the one thing that sucks is that there is a compatibility issue in that you can’t stream Apple TV+ or iTunes video content with it.

  • Magpie_Dreams Hadaway and Write (@Magpie_Dreams) reported

    I don’t know how terrible your day has been, but my car no longer plays my iTunes so I’m going to have to burn a CD for the drive to work.

  • fusedofficial FUSED (@fusedofficial) reported

    I wonder sometimes if iTunes MP3 store and selling digital music really didn't get enough of a decent chance to "settle down" before streaming basically stole it's thunder. iTunes store was 2003, and only 5yrs later came the "new format" usurper Spotify.

  • untitledgenxpod The Untitled GenX Podcast (@untitledgenxpod) reported

    @BonesDaProducer @podbeancom Your lasted episode shows on Apple and is playable? That’s great news! Ours shows in iTunes but we get a playback error notice and through the Apple Podcast app, it doesn’t show at all. Hopefully, it’ll be resolved soon!

  • Sabaoth777 Sabaoth (@Sabaoth777) reported

    itunes is not working on this computer and somehow I blame windows.

  • sassemojii 🕷Ⓥ✨ (@sassemojii) reported

    i think we used to take a yt link and convert it to mp3 to save it on itunes for on the go when limewire got shut down

  • notinbeantown rose the sy ablestan ✡️ 🌹 (@notinbeantown) reported

    @jourdayen oh I'm the same, I have an external hard drive/plex server where I backup all my movies. Already been ****** over enough times by itunes, learned that lesson the hard way :(

  • Mr300Milesof GREAT SIMON (@Mr300Milesof) reported

    Can anyone give me a good FREE way of installing emulators on IOS that doesn't involve paying for a subscription service or tracking down some obscure version of iTunes that I have to sync to my iphone every week?

  • bartnewland Bart (@bartnewland) reported

    @TheRealHoarse @Hibblebee I've ripped all my cd's and tossed them out. I did iTunes Match years ago and all those cd's are in the cloud for me to stream. They are also ripped to a home server lossless to play at home. That's the only "streaming" I do.

  • simon_pollard Simon Pollard (@simon_pollard) reported

    I waited years for Rushmore and The Life Aquatic to come to Netflix or Prime, or at least to go down in price on iTunes Movies. Today, I get to watch them for free with... Disney+. Funny old world.

  • opa334dev opa334 (@opa334dev) reported

    @kent2705 I had the same issue on my main PC and was only able to fix it after reinstalling iTunes and Apple Mobile Device Support, then I still had to remove the driver in device manager once, but after that it worked again

  • sudeepsd_ Sudeep SD (@sudeepsd_) reported

    Yo, has this happened to anybody else ? iTunes has been acting up recently & declined multiple cards after a 1.5yr of recharging apple music by itself with the existing card. It's an issue, but usually people got it fixed somehow but it's persisting for my account. Any help ?

  • earlbrowncarguy Earl Brown (@earlbrowncarguy) reported

    @TheRealHoarse So for that reason alone I will stick with Tim Apples music service. I also have a huge personal music library so iTunes is already my jam. Apple Music just enhances it for me.

  • SCsupport SoundCloud Support (@SCsupport) reported

    @makerjah1 Hey, you purchased your subscription via Apple and we unfortunately don't have access to their subscription information, you will need to contact Apple/iTunes customer service directly. We can see that your subscription got cancelled in the meantime. Best/A.

  • vuzh_ebooks drone *****, your favorite confusing wobot (@vuzh_ebooks) reported

    I'm still having no additional problems the situation in my iTunes library.

  • ohreallytruly Prince.&.The.Pervert.Podcast (@ohreallytruly) reported

    @tinkeringhalo10 Hard on off your phone. iTunes is doing it's thing again. Driving us nuts. I may have to take down the ep and do a new entry. Its insane this one.

  • Diamondalexo diamond | fame era 🦕 (@Diamondalexo) reported

  • donald_soto00 Donald Soto (@donald_soto00) reported

    iTunes will update your iPhone to SSH into my server.

  • theshazamcast Shazamcast (@theshazamcast) reported

    @pdpuddinpork @ComikalK Just wanted to give you an update. I’ve contacted apple support to see if they can figure out the problem. My guess is when things got transferred from Jeff to me it messed the iTunes up since that has to be linked to our personal iTunes.
