    @myg_mytime @BEiscomin @BorahaeFunds I wish so. Ask co - ARMYs to donate to fanbases 110K$ and find US people who will create multiple transitions to buy 4 copies of LGO from website with each of them. Bc right now LGO is going down on Itunes

  • SaltyGW SaltyG (@SaltyGW) reported

    Spotify is still broken. Definitely going back to iTunes this is getting ridiculous. @Spotify @SpotifyCares @SpotifyAU

  • whytedice Whytedice (@whytedice) reported

    The bigger icons on the bottom that pull up with iTunes bouncing up and down to log in

  • 400trix Archer Sully (AT HOME!) 🐈🐈📷🔭🚲🚲 (@400trix) reported

    @katebevan Once my cat sat down on the computer that was running iTunes, and managed to print the window repeatedly, burning through the better part of a ream of paper and a toner cartridge.

  • Saulville Saulville (@Saulville) reported

    Ever have one of those nights when against your better judgement you decide to finally get New Mutants on iTunes. Then, $5.99 later you sit down to watch it and 10 minutes in the edible you forgot you ate kicks in?

  • waltershub walter shub (@waltershub) reported

    @rickhanlonii No terrible idea, only helps coastal elitists, does nothing for the struggling middle America, creates massive moral hazard for people to take useless degrees that have no value in the market, if you want a broad education sign up for iTunes U and a library card

  • Dinwoodey6 Hope Dealer ™️ (@Dinwoodey6) reported

    @marc2sn3s oh goodness. love this. love me some Mac Miller. my itunes been broken for a week. think i need to delete some Juvenile or something.

  • BlackChocobo16 Chocobo 🍋 (@BlackChocobo16) reported

    @ficusmaster They don’t give us an option to listen to their OST (some games have gallery option to listen in game but my point still stands) on streaming sites like Spotify or to buy them on iTunes but they constantly take them down from YouTube and shut down channels that have them

  • MileyEdition Miley Cyrus Edition (@MileyEdition) reported

    Americans mainly buy music in physical copies! they don’t buy it on itunes because they can stream for free on spotify or apple music! A decrease in copies in stores is impacting sales and this issue should be fixed ASAP

  • lilianxvx Lilian x Ⓥ x (@lilianxvx) reported

    For reasons I’ll make it public in a few weeks hopefully, I am a Spotify user for a few days now. Still have my iTunes account. Gladly. What’s the problem with Spotify that starts playing another band after the end of the album of the artist I was listening to? Tha f**k!

  • makhadzimuimbi makhadzi muimbi SA (@makhadzimuimbi) reported

    😭😭 since I asked her to claim my money from iTunes she said they were not working because of lockdown .now everything is back to normal she’s not answering my calls she blocked me . I don’t even know how much I did from my album .💔 iam only surviving with show’s.

  • DKaiser78 London1Liverpool6* (@DKaiser78) reported

    @purdon_hoe Wonder what’s going down quicker ?? Them biscuits or Everton’s slide from 4 game champions and iTunes cup winners to mid table obscurity again 😬

  • HouseofZulu Zulu; ズル (@HouseofZulu) reported

    @GiggukAZ I have an aneurysm if I have more than 5 tabs open wtf, I’ll close down iTunes if it means there’s only 3 different applications going

  • rosenz Gary Rosenzweig (@rosenz) reported

    How do you like to get your music? iTunes Store? Another digital store? Apple Music? Spotify? Another streaming service? CDs? Vinyl?

  • imaustinryan austin (@imaustinryan) reported

    @skrtawnken on itunes or spotify depending which service you use

  • jnovelclub J-Novel Club (@jnovelclub) reported

    @murdock_tm Unfortunately itunes never accepted the first volume and it's been stuck in their system for a long time. Thanks for reminding us the issue was never resolved, maybe we can try and reupload it again. We are not sure exactly why it never was uploaded.

  • seere_ebooks Seere Bot (@seere_ebooks) reported

    ok jump is on sale on itunes haha a meme so (scrolls down) (all star) im ****

  • fullytacomatic tacomatic (@fullytacomatic) reported

    @netflix's compression is inexcusably bad. I get that they need to keep bandwidth down or whatever but your viewers need to see what's happening on screen. iTunes is not perfect but their compression is way better.

  • mypalsammy Sammy Younan -28- (@mypalsammy) reported

    @acupido Yeah which is the frustrating thing with Apple/itunes. A podcaster generally works for themselves not Apple. But that's not true. It's the same issue with YouTube and making videos. It's a bit sweatshopy. It's valuing the platform above the content.

  • Rachelkrjvld RachèlKrvld (@Rachelkrjvld) reported

    @SamusevichV @AppleSupport I have the same exact problem. Full restore failed (error 14) tried several times with different cables/restarts/laptops/reinstalled itunes etc. Its game over for my phone unless i pay €600 to get it fixxed by Apple...

  • MatissexHerrera Matisse X. Herrera (@MatissexHerrera) reported

    If you’re a music artist make sure you can sell your digital music outside of just iTunes & Amazon. Streaming sites bank on how long consumers stay on their service, it’s a loss of revenue when consumers purchase a digital download they can listen to outside the app.

  • singlelilith Aestrea 𝄞 (@singlelilith) reported

    The way all songs dropped down on itunes US. O_O

  • PiPrimePi Pi Prime Pi (@PiPrimePi) reported

    @JasonYanowitz @danheld Make the Napster nodes compete to issue new digital assets... Anyone who thinks iTunes isn’t part of bitcoins lineage, either directly or indirectly isn’t looking hard enough IMO It was the first, real world, at scale, multi continent, proof of concept for digital assets

  • btsresilience ᴮᴱTessa⁷ (@btsresilience) reported

    @spicytaejinnie @BorahaeFunds Are you from US? Read their thread again!! Look what they are saying.. US armys themselves are not requesting for LGO or BE because they ran out of unique payments methods and accounts for iTunes. So many have same issue. Stop being disrespectful or demanding, know the situation

  • MeganStats Megan Thee Stallion Stats (@MeganStats) reported

    @stallisleeze calm down, let's take good news for #1 on us itunes too

  • chlorineidle leo | no time for tears💧 (@chlorineidle) reported

    @jiiminscure ??? SM is the focus but what's the problem of donating some for NTFT??? It's the newest song and no the gp is not eating it, it debuted very badly in streams and didn't have time yet to reach the gp on itunes

  • AdamLocklin Adam Locklin (@AdamLocklin) reported

    Sense switching from iTunes to Spotify I’ve been greatly disappointed. Spotify ux/ui for downloaded music is awful, podcasts bug constantly repeating themselves. Numerous issues in Bluetooth connections and unsupported devices. They’re building a product for who?

  • elizwrite Elizabeth Andrews (@elizwrite) reported

    Dear #iTunes, When you do your next update, maybe you could fix the 'complete my album' section. It's been broken for ages, and some of us like to actually do that. No love, Me

  • RafranzDavis Rafranz⁷ (@RafranzDavis) reported

    Some thoughts that no one asked for...consider iTunes a non-issue. Majority of us have used our accounts. On Amazon, we can only buy 1x/24 hours. Week 1, we had a running start. 2 weeks of orders. If we’re going to do this, we can’t wait and need to start now...like yesterday

  • 7BTS_Rapline ᴮᴱMe⁷ (@7BTS_Rapline) reported

    @Karen68587288 @BorahaeFunds I don’t think we can realistically keep LGO at 1. So many factors in week 1 are an issue this week: falling MV and audio streams, no first week sales, maxed out iTunes. I think the goal should be preventing a freefall. I don’t know what numbers look like for it, but I hope top 10
