Tech Deals (@TechDeals_16) reported@Krytopsy @EA iTunes hasn't had DRM on music in a very long time, yet somehow music piracy really isn't the problem it used to be back when it was all locked down. Remove the DRM, people will buy your product.

PugSmore ⁷ 💜아포방포😈 (@PugSmore) reportedSo 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?

🎊HOWELL🎊 (@HOWELL58565847) reportedThere are a few ways to safely get your semijailbroken iPad up to date, depending on how much access you have and how broken the device is.The easiest way is to connect to iTunes on a computer and update the iPad. If you don't have access to a computer

@kojfie |🥢 D-day is here 🥢 (@kojfie) reported@FikirtemariamG a hero was walking around the merch line offering cash to US people to buy on Haegeum on Itunes and they turned her down "we stream" and "I don't use iTunes" :(

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.

Charles Lee Ray (@GoodGuyChucky6) reported@TrveCvltPop Awww that U2 album got loaded onto everyone's ITunes & the latest iPhone at the time, brings back memories of that episode of broken records of that album, talking about how that the whole thing devalued music even the same thing was said when Radiohead released In Rainbows
-
Rooster83 (@Rooster832) reported@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.

JoeCat ® (@JoeCattt) reportedremember when you could buy music videos on itunes? $1.99, yours forever. I played the ones I paid for. now i’m just waiting— to see if UMG forgets we had a contract. what happens if they take down what I own?

Nik D (@NiktheMIZfit) reported@TwitterBlue is the new U2 “Songs of Innocence” Album on iTunes, 99.9% of people don’t want it, but it’s being shoved down their throats lol

keigo atobe shady facts🥛🍼 (@stupeoscientia) reported@yudansezu I thought I sent u the 4th hyotei soundtrack (bc I bought it on iTunes) 😭 ah well lmk if u ever want it (I haven’t looked at the ones posted in server)
-
WASP in 4K (@4kWASP) reported@SphynxterRisen2 I have a plex server but I like getting 4K HDR and sometimes even 3D movies (for Vision Pro) so I usually just buy movies dirt cheap on sale. My iTunes library has been running since the iPod days and I have hundreds of movies
-
Aleksa Sarai 暗号君 (@lordcyphar) reported@ibuildthecloud Stuff like the Newton is the obvious counterexample, but for a more modern example -- iTunes was apocalyptically bad for a very long time. For a more spicy take -- the iPhone was basically a toy until iPhone 5 (or 4, if you ignore the reception issues). A very Vista/7 dynamic.

Eula|Navarrete♎️🇺🇸🫒 (@EulaNavarr36338) reportedPeople who use Apple Music or iTunes should be aware of some changes to their service. Starting March 1st, 2018, Apple Music will no longer offer ad-free listening. In addition

Jackie (Weatheronthe8s) (@Weatheronthe8s) reported@NekoMichiUBC I always install the iOS or iPadOS beta on the day of release just for fun. However, I don't recommend it for anybody's main device, or for anybody who can't troubleshoot tech issues. I once had to restore an iPad through iTunes due to a charging issue in a beta...

CHUNSWÆ🎀 (@KENNBARRB) reportedWhy are we pushing let me calm down when Banned From NO (Clean version) haven’t reached number 1 on iTunes as of yet?
-
saff 🍋 (@joongftw) reporteditunes is separate to apple music and isn’t a streaming service at all so you can buy through there even if you’re streaming on spotify! if you are using apple music though then make sure to delete LD from your library before streaming again!
-
AJStrong on BlueSky (@aj_strong) reportedSo far, Apple Music/iTunes is still bloatware with a terrible interface and broken functionality. Sad. #WWDC25
-
VJ 🥢 (@vjhonsool) reported@AINEE07275 @svnwithu_ @Koobidivines They changed the rules for the BTS store to avoid the filtering issue, and it's really not hard to buy on itunes and amazon. We always seem to hear these kinds of excuses when it comes to supporting Yoongi.
-
Sun_Devil (@sundevil10) reported@Dishasatra Solution is to create a virtual location in some other drive where you have space and provide that location to iTunes. I recently faced the same problem.

star (@sserafriend) reported@1nnermoonch1ld ive had no problem buying from there before (i bought jp itunes giftcards) but that's just my experience

Explainer (@ByExplainer) reported@sk8ergrlmitsuki @iconredesign Because iTunes Remote will probably shut down in iOS 27 (maybe even ios 26)
-
CF Stan (@nets64579) reported@luvmesum_sweet @Cyamtha84617841 I’m too scared to make a post 🙈 but our song is down to number 3 on ITunes. Are y’all still streaming. I wanted to stay on #1 for a couple more days.

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
-
uncle yoongi⁷ (@Yunkiminyoon) reportedfirst of all, I'm so sorry I had to tell this and might be cancelled too. but, I can't prevent anyone to buy haegeum and DDay tracks on itunes, BUT this kinda alarming because jm solos team up to put down haegeum :') so you know what to do.

of Cherrie (@ofcherrie) reported@hyperfixedpod iTunes Match. Access your iTunes library on any of your devices. Track down a copy of senuti & rip your OG library
-
Starving Artist (@blerghhh) reported@MaccabiTrader @psac_afpc They also in the same call offer to clean my air-ducts and help with my windows licences. This is a marked improvement in service! The only catch is that they ask me to buy iTunes gift cards from my local Wallgreens requiring an international border crossing.

DIAN.CHEN😽 (@DIANCHE63331426) reportedQuestion: Has anyone else experience this issue with their iPod 2nd gen? I had GreenPoisi0n install a new firmware on my device, and now it won't connect to the iTunes store or any other applications. It says "ipod 2nd gen not connected to the network" and "error 1234". Help!
