@cowboyliketony idk iTunes has always been really reliable and doesn’t have errors ever* *except when they released 8 seconds of static and also it will crash at the first sign of distress

@cabel @roxaloxa I dropped iTunes Match a few years ago, only because if I did have any issues with Apple Music I still had everything in iTunes on my Mac (and backed up locally and online). Otherwise I would have been terrified too. But I didn’t end up having any issues. 🤷

@cabel @roxaloxa I took the plunge canceling iTunes Match while currently subscribed to Apple Music and had no issues but my legal disclaimer is ymmv because I was also very paranoid about this stuff

@TampaBayGary The ITunes files were current. The problem was after I deposited the retrieved files from the ITunes software on the old computer to the newly installed ITunes software on the new Dell in appropriate directory the ITunes software doesn’t see them. Labor intensive to reload CDs

I’m sorry, but @SonyPictures / @SonyPicsHomeEnt should have released the #NoWayHome extended version as an extra for those who already own it on iTunes or any other streaming service…

@KofiBlakGh @justicesagada I think they are not on the popular streaming sites like Spotify probably because of publishing issues but you can get them elsewhere. I got Immigrant Chronicles on iTunes years ago and I have The Birds on the Beat. I think I bought that one on Bandcamp. I don't really remember.

Leaving a message in a bottle for anyone else with this problem: if your mp3 imported song in iTunes doesn’t go to the next song at the end of the track when scrubbing to the end and instead repeats from the middle, highlight the song, hit File, then Convert, then AAC version.

and each one takes like 10 minutes because i have to wait for youtube-dl to download it at 1080p then convert it back down to 240p then get all the metadata and the thumbnail then put it all into itunes and i don't think i have four hours to do every episode right now so

I haven’t seen this movie since it released but it was on sale on iTunes so I grabbed it. For the most part it looks great but any killing done during the slow-mo scenes has absolutely awful plug in blood effects that look terrible.

@cabel My continuing question: WHEN IS A SUITABLE ALTERNATIVE COMING. For people who don’t want to sub to a streaming service. Until then, iTunes Match for life.

Saw the free @AppleTV deal with ps5, thought, why not. Then an hour later, several attempts to navigate the labyrinthine apple id spiral and I can't use it. Point blank, just keeps pushing me in circles to login on an ios device or that I don't have an iTunes acnt. Awful.

@cabel I have both Apple Music and Match. Even with both, most of the Music videos I bought over the years off iTunes disappeared and I noticed some new language on Match claiming it is NOT a backup service. So I feel burned either way.

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

@iamesthyangel @AbbaM_Abiyos No… it says connect to iTunes.. get system that has iTunes, insert the cord into the system and sync it with system. Make sure you’re connected to the internet, iTunes will automatically detect what’s wrong then you log in from iTunes straight up. I had a similar issue ones

My laptop now shuts down whenever it’s inactive for more than 10-15 minutes. Gonna take it in for repairs this weekend, but in the meantime any time I’m using it and need to leave the room for more than a few minutes I just leave it playing Dopesmoker on iTunes.

@Wadej1229 @MilagroGramz__ Not being funny but her album is 124 and is predicted to move down not up. It has been on billboard for 9 weeks tho. I see it’s on 30 in both iTunes and Apple music album charts, but what I’m honestly tryna understand is why is it steady going down on billboard if it’s at 30?
