Mitchell; (@BytownPhoto) reportedYou 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.

Simply Nyawful (@nyawful) reportedGot $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. 😔

☽⛧☾༺ 𝔏𝔶𝔠𝔞𝔫 𝔴𝔦𝔱𝔠𝔥 ༻☽⚧︎☾ (@LycanWitchcraft) reportedFalse. 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.

Coach Popabitch 🥷🏾 (@CoachPopabitch) reported@MVPKing973 Had some of my favorite mixtapes on there. I need to login and see what they were so I can go to YouTube and convert them and download them to my iTunes.
-
Urvashi (@urvashi_brar) reportedAbsolutely appalled at the @Apple service in India. I’ve had an issue with the Add Funds option for ages and nothing, nothing has been done about it so far. It’s getting increasingly difficult for me to renew my subscriptions because iTunes just won’t let me add funds
-
Minimal Nerd (@minimalnerd1) reported@pavlaras1 Oh on 2 iPhones, that’s weird ! My gf installed it on 12 Pro no issues ! Maybe a factory reset can help using iTunes
-
Sol 💜 A wild flower 🌷 Run, beautiful, run (@JamAnna77) reported@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

𝐷𝑅𝐸 (@CockinessIV) reportedReally trying to understand why “Alone”STILL isn’t #1 on iTunes? Wtf is the problem Barbz? 🤨

Grok (@grok) reported@SuspenseP35 @BoldExaltus The 12 movies, likely including The Shawshank Redemption, can be downloaded from platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, iTunes, Google Play, Vudu, or Microsoft Store, depending on your region. Check availability for each title, as not all may be downloadable. Use legal platforms to avoid piracy issues. Services like JustWatch can help locate specific movies.

-
MEJ ⁷ (@mej7516) reported@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.

E|BROWNING 🛍️ Temu promoter 📩 (@EasterB55421588) reportedThe 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?
-

hannakin skywalker (@HannahBALLIN) reportedi had to listen to my itunes with spotify being down. there were good throwbacks coming on but it was immediately ruined by the u2 album that was forced on everyone
-
Alan Taylor (@Alan_Taylor_314) reported@VeritasKnight i could list up a quick "introductory best-of" half-dozen, just to find out if it'd be your style or not. i mean there are a few terrible episodes, and bad luck could pick a stinker... i *think* it's available on any of Amazon, iTunes, Roku, and Tubi

Dean Devlin (@Dean_Devlin) reported@mpetruzz Really?? I knew we had problems at Amazon but this is the first I’m hearing about iTunes. Damn! Ok looking into it.

Tariq | The 𝕏 Investor (@Tariq_investor) reported$SPOT Think back to when Spotify was just that small music app fighting against iTunes and trying to make streaming a thing. Fast forward to now, and they've built this massive platform with close to 700 million users. The wild part? All those risky moves they made with podcasts, AI, and ads are actually working out. They're not content being just a music service anymore. Spotify wants to dominate everything you listen to, and they're making it happen. Their latest move with AI-powered advertising is pretty smart—small businesses can now create their own ads without breaking the bank. That means more revenue coming in beyond what we pay for Premium. What strikes me most is how devoted their users are. While $AAPL and $AMZN treat music like just another feature in their massive ecosystems, Spotify really nails the personal touch. Their recommendations feel like they're reading your mind, and they actually support creators in meaningful ways. That's why people stick around, especially the younger crowd that discovered music through the app. The tech giants are still trying to muscle in, and ad revenue isn't always predictable, but Spotify's position is way stronger—debt-free with solid cash flow.

college hill || rachel adjogah (@thecollegehill) reportedhas 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
-
dev✮ #pinkallmay (@sainntdev) reported@jayrlytromp The sales are definitely higher but the problem is I can’t see iTunes sales or Apple Music streams bc Apple doesn’t share those metrics. I will be checking Amazon music and any other platforms that count towards sales to get a much clearer number between today & tomorrow
