  @rustytatra @Gammitin But all totally inaccessible and unavailable unless you first download and install the itunes spyware app, create an account, sign in and provide payment details, then perhaps it might be possible to see what is available. Physical media requires none of that BS.

  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

  @HSajwanization TBH Apple has never been very good at software. iTunes has sucked for years. Phone updates regularly have problems.

  @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.

  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.

  $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.

  Anyone else had problems with the Addison Raye album on iTunes I had already bought the singles before the album but when I bought the album, it didn’t group the singles into the album like it usually does so they’re separate and of course @AccessAddison

  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.

  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

  Really trying to understand why “Alone”STILL isn’t #1 on iTunes? Wtf is the problem Barbz? 🤨

• 
  c (@nIcgrmes) reported 48 minutes ago

  i’m not confusing anything! okay so for example, the banned from no remix, because that’s been causing discourse within the fanbase. sure, it went #1 on itunes due to the barbz’s support, but it tanked in streaming bc the gp didn’t know/care about it to listen to it. this is where the problem lies. we all know barbz are gonna defend nicki down. but who’s gonna carry the success of her music? bfn remix didn’t even have enough points to have her credited on the song. what’s gonna happen when she drops nm6 and it tanks bc only a handful of people are buying it on mf itunes?

  @Interredd @King1FoReal @Mo_Magoda Problem is these companies itunes/Spotify take almost 50% of the fee and artist like Zonke are not studio artist,they make use sessional musicians when they record so from the 50% they they need to pay these sessional musicians/studio time etc not making much from everything

  Anyone knows if the issues with iTunes (the song was listed as an album instead of a single which is why is not appearing on any charts and people can't find it) have been fixed? #TypeDangerous @MariahAlerts @MariahCarey

  @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.

  @HONGSMINGKI I think part of the problem is I have no idea where to stream. I am constantly playing the music video but I only learned about iTunes last night.

  @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
