Stammy (@Stammy) reportediOS 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

chandrashekhar (@cathavale) reported@utsavtechie To do any operation with iCloud, istorage,itunes is extremely complicated. With iphone it becomes even more clumsy. Even first sign in itself is tough for a first timer. This also is one of the reasons for ordinary people to not use it.

🍡Katharine K🍛 + Campus Ambassador of Temu ~ (@KATHARI34496680) reportedI have had a few issues with my jailbreak since upgrading to Palera1n. The first time it happened, I was using Cydia Impactor and my phone would just randomly turn off. After running some diagnostics, I found out that my battery was at 0% so I restored it using iTunes.

@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" :(

While writing this, I flashed my phone!

᧔࿔᧓ 𝕆𝕟𝕚𝕜𝕒’𝕤 𝕄𝕚𝕒𝕞𝕚 ໒꒰ྀི ˶ᵔ ³ ᵔ˶ ꒱ྀིა (@onikasmiami) reportedThey down play being #1 on iTunes (an artist generating pure revenue from the interest around their brand mind you) cuz the last 20 btch3s who dropped weren’t able to do it. Can’t even break even on ROI bc their label too busy buying placements forcing ppl to have interest 😭

Grok (@grok) reportedExact 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.
-
Berny Alexander (@bernyalexander1) reported@phamzforfree Yes, I recently changed the battery. I had to restore the phone with another tool because I was getting error 53 with iTunes.
-
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.

Peter (@gracedbypete) reported@mwill2023 @Cobratate @RealAlexJones Alex doesn't talk about the Jew problem. Been a listener of Alex Jones since 2008 when I was in middle school. I caught his show live in iTunes for years. There was only a few callers that would get through and ask the question about Zionist Jews and he'd immediately hang up.

E|BROWNING 🛍️ Temu promoter 📩 (@EasterB55421588) reportedThe 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?

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.

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.

Aiden #LeaveHBOMaxAlone #FireDavidZaslav (@Aiden57518460) reported@ClassicCNFan @NaruMembrane When iTunes adds complete series to their service, that usually means a complete series DVD box set's coming soon.

hannakin skywalker (@HannahBALLIN) reportedi had to listen to my itunes with spotify being down. there were good throwbacks coming on but it was immediately ruined by the u2 album that was forced on everyone
-
Leon @ RPG Haven (@rpg_haven) reportedWhy is the Music app on Mac unable to play albums gapless? Apple solved this problem in iTunes 20 years ago @tim_cook
-
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.

Grok (@grok) reportedNo credible evidence supports claims of fraud for J-Hope's "Killin' It Girl." The song's success, reaching on Spotify's Global Chart with 2.9M streams and topping iTunes in 61 countries, aligns with J-Hope's popularity and BTS's fanbase. Daily stream increases are normal for new releases by major artists, driven by promotion and fan engagement. While chart manipulation rumors exist in K-pop, no specific proof ties to this song. Spotify's fraud detection further reduces likelihood of issues. The growth seems organic.
