    Anyone knows if the issues with iTunes (the song was listed as an album instead of a single which is why is not appearing on any charts and people can't find it) have been fixed? #TypeDangerous @MariahAlerts @MariahCarey

    @Naija_PR Wrong choice of words… the real billion movers are not the problem. It’s the $50 iTunes boys that brings shame to the industry

    @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

    @googiepies @Koobidivines @sugatakemymoney the problem is that it isnt very high on itunes or other platforms either which is worrying

    @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.

    @SuspenseP35 @BoldExaltus The 12 movies, likely including The Shawshank Redemption, can be downloaded from platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, iTunes, Google Play, Vudu, or Microsoft Store, depending on your region. Check availability for each title, as not all may be downloadable. Use legal platforms to avoid piracy issues. Services like JustWatch can help locate specific movies.

    First, some context. By early 2004, the iPod had become the world's most popular music player. Over 2 million units sold. 30 million songs downloaded from iTunes. But Apple faced a massive problem:

    Why is the Music app on Mac unable to play albums gapless? Apple solved this problem in iTunes 20 years ago @tim_cook

    @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

  • gabescoochie

    @Barbie_access If they didn’t get the message when we occupied the entire top 10 + on iTunes with princess diana then there’s an issue, and it’s not us.

    @HONGSMINGKI I think part of the problem is I have no idea where to stream. I am constantly playing the music video but I only learned about iTunes last night.

  • dwaidontwait
    DWAI (@dwaidontwait) reported

    money within the music industry has literally reduced the worth of music to atoms. it was records/cds - 10-20 bucks... apple came up w/ itunes, singles went down to .99 cent (not even a dollar), but now with streaming its like 0.003%? which is crazy insane

    @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.

    @MagicBardi @arithadon125556 You got your first #1 on iTunes in years. Settle down lmao. Let’s see that Spotify debut tomorrow. But again, more importantly, there’s no video so Atlantic didn’t believe in it.

  • nIcgrmes
    c (@nIcgrmes) reported

    i’m not confusing anything! okay so for example, the banned from no remix, because that’s been causing discourse within the fanbase. sure, it went #1 on itunes due to the barbz’s support, but it tanked in streaming bc the gp didn’t know/care about it to listen to it. this is where the problem lies. we all know barbz are gonna defend nicki down. but who’s gonna carry the success of her music? bfn remix didn’t even have enough points to have her credited on the song. what’s gonna happen when she drops nm6 and it tanks bc only a handful of people are buying it on mf itunes?

    @N11nyNancy @brk_mira How do we suck at multitasking when we kept 3 jm songs on spotify global at the same time for a month and they are still doing well? People are scared to buy from the official store but there is no issue with itunes or amazon. There is no excuse for bot entering charts at all

    Lmfao!!!! Now we know iTunes ain’t billboard & a vanguard ain’t a Grammy, YET WE KEEP SEEING DEM SINGLES SLIDE DOWN THE WALL THE NEXT WEEK. 64K SALES ON THE MOST “ powerful “ FANBASE IS A JOKE AT BEST!

    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

    Rick Adams (@riadams1) reported

    Again, @Sonos ??? 90 minutes on chat/phone with support staff to try (unsuccessfully) to re-establish connection to my iTunes Library. Same bullshit a lot of us went through in early 2024. And after a lot of lip service from leadership about being better. Nope ... not better ...

    Greg Collins (@glcollins) reported

    My biggest issue with the #AppleTV app is that I cannot pick my dealt viewing source. If I purchase something from iTunes, I do not want to watch from a streaming service (due to the commercials). @Apple please fix this. You are making buying something on iTunes less valuable by defaulting to the streaming apps.

    @AppleMusic @Sonos Tracks that have been uploaded using the iTunes Match service display the error but other songs won’t play either despite everything being fine before. I can get around this playing via Airplay or deleting from my library and re-adding from Apple Music.

    I seriously don't know what the problem is with playing from iTunes Home Sharing onto my Apple TV units. One is a 4K, and the other is the basic model which lacks USB and Ethernet. I've done every possible thing to get it working, and it ceases to work. On Windows 11. Time to go Mac only and see if it works.
