    I went to college at exactly the right time to sit down in front of someone's desktop and browse their iTunes play counts. I miss this, and I really like seeing people talk about their music, so by all means share your Spotify stuff. I hope to check on my Plex stats soon.

  • DirkDaknife Daknife (@DirkDaknife) reported

    @MarshaBlackburn Haven't read your bill, does it still ensure the apps are not going to be full of malware. The current app stores have problems and occasionally miss threats, but mostly we can be certain the apps from itunes and gplay are safe to run. Can an open store guarantee the same?

  • DosFox1 DosFox 🐀 (@DosFox1) reported

    @magnetic_tape Already documented elsewhere. It just turns out that it *has* to be iTunes 7.5 and it *has* to be windows XP. Also that your date and time has to be correc - else you'll get weird errors.

  • carey_ATEEZfan Carey 💖 Lovin’ Fifty Fifty (@carey_ATEEZfan) reported

    @ajummatiny @ATEEZofficial @ericnamofficial I hold it down for the AppMu/iTunes users. 😜💪

  • witchbabyy worm girl (@witchbabyy) reported

    @nomames632 i have all my joni as a hard copy on my itunes thank u. (i can’t get apple music for international credit card complication issues)

  • dahodd2 Odd-Arne Dahle (@dahodd2) reported

    @ShitMgmtSays I had this problem with some U2 songs that I got from Apple for many years ago. Every time I was doing stuff, the phone would play the damn U2 song. Tried to delete the song, and it reinstalled due to iTunes.

  • shelly_400 shelly♏🔮😏 (@shelly_400) reported

    Losing barb support gotta be terrible man it shows sooooooo bad godt damn ouch olive oyl oooooweee only 30k views audio YouTube for that new song no where on iTunes applemusic or hiphop itunes Amazon nothing sorry sista burnt that bridge its giving fair with nomoney who switched

  • AuldViking David A. Scott (@AuldViking) reported

    A long time ago a Spotted Fly decided to rummage through my music files and take it upon itself to delete music that I had actually purchased in iTunes from the Apple Store. And so I won't be posting anything about the Spotted Fly music streaming service today or ever.

  • deathcarpets lilith (parody account) (@deathcarpets) reported

    @meysq i've been an apple music subscriber since the service was introduced, never going back. it's nice to be able to bring my bandcamp purchases in using the iTunes interface but sometimes i just don't bother and stream the apple music version anyway after i buy (artist double dip)

  • shocks @shocks@mastodon.social (@shocks) reported

    if i'm not the last person who uses a personal iTunes library instead of a streaming service to listen to music, i'm close to it

  • kaitybella kaity (@kaitybella) reported

    @MetalBlonde a big part of the reason I've only ever used apple music is bc I had such a large itunes library. like why would I use another service when I already have like 8,000 songs on this one? it's always surprised me how many people switched to spotify

  • mightyjabba Mighty Jabba (@mightyjabba) reported

    @AdamFrazier @JordanMaison I’ve thought about this many times. I assume they wanted to push the streaming service over everything but it makes no sense not to offer these as physical media, and hopefully digital downloads on iTunes etc. I’m positive the net effect would be positive for them

  • RegnantEagle Eclipse (@RegnantEagle) reported

    @GeorgeTakei How do you justify itunes store then? I love me some Rage, but you want to talk about promoting violence?? Try “Down Rodeo”

  • theomoplatapus_ theomoplatapus 🟠 (@theomoplatapus_) reported

    @TimDong16 @nunchuk_io Do you have problems with Indian scammers that call the elderly persuading them to buy iTunes gift cards for their profit? Is this problematic or is it in bounds because the elderly should act rationally?

  • moto_umami chilean with socialist characteristics (@moto_umami) reported

    If you have a problem with that, then maybe don't use a streaming service like Spotify. Maybe consume music on physical formats, or through downloads, cause iTunes/apple music also counts your number if plays. I don't really get why you take issue with it though.

  • goldfinch2405 PD🇮🇳🕊✨ (@goldfinch2405) reported

    Dear @AppleSupport Since the time my phone upgraded to ios 16.1.1 I am not able add funds to Apple ID on iTunes via any medium! The screen just hangs once it reaches the payment mode after filling in the password. Anyone else with similar issue?

  • XCCContheweb Xander (@XCCContheweb) reported

    @SamiFathi_ I use it on windows because iTunes is way outdated and the apple music browser app is terrible too

  • ZubiKhannn Zubi Khans (@ZubiKhannn) reported

    @POTUS Ok .but now there are some problems among big tech companies.i am really having trouble in realizing problems created by opportunists among apple and tesla.sir try to introduce laws to safeguard interests of big apps in play store and itunes.these opportunists around me sometimes

  • Iamlucky87 LuckyKrampus👹 (@Iamlucky87) reported

    At least @iTunes will let me see their version of my wrapped like another annoying bullshit music streaming service.

  • fallenangeIs25 Mak🍄 (@fallenangeIs25) reported

    my spotify wrapped is only half right considering i listen more on my itunes bc i don’t have service in school half the time 😭😭 like ik for a fact that zayn and louis would be out billie but 1d harry and eminem is accurate af

  • LordDrubie Andrew Bluett (@LordDrubie) reported

    Haven't used the Windows version of iTunes in over a decade and wow is it unusable garbage. Can't even sign in.

  • angryelephant NWong (@angryelephant) reported

    I dont have a spotify wrapped list because I didnt spend nearly my entire 20s in the 00s cultivating my iTunes library, buying multiple external drives to back up mp3's, and the agony of ipods corrupting to let it all go to waste for a streaming service. Have you all forgotten?

  • mercurialdh 🍸 (@mercurialdh) reported

    @lov3sign i use it bc i'm not paying for any service with the cost of living in this place! the repeat is free & the ads are far less annoying than spotify 😮‍💨 it used to be google play music (the android itunes) from the play store but then they rebranded into a streaming service

  • eddiejillete Mike Cooper (@eddiejillete) reported

    @bennyjohnson Please . People will always want their iPhones , iPads , Apple computers, iTunes , Air Pods etc . There are 79 million Twitter users in the USA . There are 120 million iPhone users in the USA . It comes down to simple numbers .

  • scarletxmars samira (@scarletxmars) reported

    @8bitfunk my only issue is i like using spotify on web but i guess i can use itunes 🫢

  • Dokuhan Doku 🐀 (@Dokuhan) reported

    I want the stats, but the service doesn't work for me since most of my stuff is on itunes

  • GaryReiter_ Gary Reiter (@GaryReiter_) reported

    @Arkypatriot It's true. But the difference is, for me, I'm at present dependent on MS, and Google and Amazon for that matter, to totally walk away. Whereas my Apple gear is dwindled down to 1 non-upgradeable PC that I use strictly as a "jukebox." No more iTunes either.

  • sharper69420 TheRock2028 (Top 0.0001% OnlyJams) (@sharper69420) reported

    Tried to casually bring up my Spotify wrapped to my coworker who is a little older, 46, and I asked him what service he uses for music. He looked at me confused and said, “well I guess Apple because I just listen to what I’ve bought like iTunes” what the hell man

  • mixesntapes Mixes 'n' Tapes (@mixesntapes) reported

    Premiering ya boy, G Sleazy, layin' down some bars on his new record, Tits & A$$. Get it now on iTunes.

  • exlawyernft exlawyer.eth/tez (@exlawyernft) reported

    iTunes on Windows is absolutely terrible.
