    Dear @Apple , This has been the most frustrating hour EVER. I am trying to make an account so I can login in to the iTunes store and buy a song. - undefined error at first screen - locked - verify codes not arriving - "can't send code to this phone" - does not work in Firefox

    @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.

    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.

    @Dean_Devlin iTunes is where the problem is. It's where I tried to buy it.

    @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...

    In my messing around with third party music apps for the phone, I forgot about the watch, which none of the options I saw seem to support. I think I am going to have to install iTunes. This is terrible. Maybe I'll build a separate PC just to quarantine it.

    So 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?

    @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.

    Maybe the Barbz should make our own streaming service/chart system. All we need is people relying and using it like Billboard and ITunes Charts, right? What makes Billboard official and not sound cloud charting unofficial? Artist? Money? Business? Nicki alone can launch this ****

    $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.

    @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.

    @Miyakoottv Since the first-generation Apple TV cannot log into the iTunes servers as of 2018, it's completely useless today unless you hack an alternative OS onto it. Running Leopard, the Apple TV is a surprisingly stable and capable cut-down Mac.

    @Grummz If I can figure out a way to mix Android with macOS (Apple TV movies and iTunes), then I can see jumping. Problem is Google is Android, or it was. Like I said, need to research.

    @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

    @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" :(

    @Mangalawyer Don't expect Microsoft to do better on PC. Oh, wait—they are never better at all. Even I can not be sure if it is Microsoft or Apple's problem with iTunes being unable to code CD songs into iPhones.

    @ClassicCNFan @NaruMembrane When iTunes adds complete series to their service, that usually means a complete series DVD box set's coming soon.

    The 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?
