  @EricVldw @Munky_Berto I'm on like my 10th new Mac since iTunes was rolled out and I've never had a problem sending my tunes to a new machine. It's in the 'Music' folder under 'iTunes' You can drag them all straight to a external hard drive.

  So weird, listening to a Haegeum focused playlist on AM from my Apple TV iTunes music app and it’s skipping all the Haegeum. When I try clicking on Haegeum on the playlist it just skips to the next song. Anyone else notice this issue with AM?

  @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.

  @KEMBE_X Man, I don’t even stream - I buy allllll my ****! Physicals, exclusive drops, merch, all’at… Bandcamp (preferably) or iTunes. [****’s actually kinda a problem]

  @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.

  The first episode of OVA 2 for Attack on Titan is currently unavailable to purchase on iTunes and Funimation. This is due to a licensing issue with the anime. It is not known when or if the episode will be available again. I need your help.

  No 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.

  Can we make it easier to get custom ringtones and alert tones? I have no problem purchasing them, but the current State of the iTunes Store is pretty bad. @iTunes @Apple @AppleSupport

  Come on @AppleMusic we are in 2023 ! One does not ask customers to install an anoying app to unsubscribe to a cloud service. I can't AND don't wanna install ITunes on all my devices ! Have a good day though.

  My biggest issue with the #AppleTV app is that I cannot pick my dealt viewing source. If I purchase something from iTunes, I do not want to watch from a streaming service (due to the commercials). @Apple please fix this. You are making buying something on iTunes less valuable by defaulting to the streaming apps.

  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.

  @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

  @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.

  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

  Got $100 from my mom for my birthday. Spent $20 on a book for myself + BUCK-TICK's latest album on iTunes... ...and $70 on books and toys for my 3yo 👀. I... acknowledge I have a problem 😭. Doesn't help I started buying from Mercari, some good deals there on toys. 😔

  @mwill2023 @Cobratate @RealAlexJones Alex doesn't talk about the Jew problem. Been a listener of Alex Jones since 2008 when I was in middle school. I caught his show live in iTunes for years. There was only a few callers that would get through and ask the question about Zionist Jews and he'd immediately hang up.

  Math 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 😞

  @avilla01_ @DAZNBoxing I receive email receipts from Apple/iTunes whenever a purchase is made. There’s a link in the email to report a problem. I reported it yesterday and had the refund this morning. Then canceled DAZN.

  @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

  has anyone else run into an issue where the macOS music app (aka iTunes) just skips to the end of mp3s? i'm losing my mind because it's happening for the tracks on my last album and the files play fine everywhere else

  @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.

  Mariah Carey iTunes Chart (@MariahCharted) reported 50 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)!

  @brittscapes I thought for sure it was on Apple Music but apparently their streaming service didn’t even exist then, I bought it on iTunes??
