  the issue is i am probably going to want the majority of songs in this playlist... but not all of them. so if i could ******* set it up in itunes i could just copy my goddamn library in and then process of elimination it while actively listening. useful, time effective, etc

  @PokemonMax @LlcPickaxe @THEPOKEPLATEAU Try using the camo app or ivCam if you’re on the iPhone! Make sure the phone is plugged in and open up iTunes to connect the phone to the PC before running the cam app on the computer. It’s what I used the past year with almost no problems :)

  @combatpromo Man that's interesting, has Americas past time become that niche that cooperate seating won't suffice & regular goers will be left to itunes .. I mean apple tv 🥲. I'm apart of the problem. I don't watch the tele at all 🥴

  @iamtheaardvark Aw nostalgia. For me it was the free iTunes Fireflies single when I was in high school. I was obsessed through college and got the signed album (the one with the Carly Rae Jepsen song on it). And I live under a rock (even more so back then) but Postal Service - sounds familiar?

  @cmuratori Er, sure, now add Google Play Music streaming users, Apple iTunes users, Apple Music users, etc, at the same point in the lifecycle. Once semi-decent, legal options become trivially (and affordably) available, the convenience of _not_ running a server wins.

  are they really never gonna add Atmos and Lossless and stuff to iTunes for Windows. great service but the windows support sucks and like,, strategically it's not gonna push people to buy a Mac to not implement major unique features on other platforms

  @Ridge_Cook Part of my issue with iTunes is accessibility. I own and retain virtually everything on my own storage devices, but the abysmal software makes it more trouble than it’s worth to listen to. It’s devided my collection into discreet “libraries” that defy usability

  @ValueAnalyst1 Ppl tend to push back purchases of old tech when they feel possibility of a new technology replacing it. Example i slowed down cd purchases for a few years knowing id switch to itunes. Same happened with owning vs subscriptions. Investors blaming only C19 are in 4 rude awakening

  @dj_tirpak I’m almost positive I got this CD from a subscription service my youth pastor had and he would let me take the CDs home and rip them so I could make mix CDs for youth trips. My iTunes was full of 00s Christian rock bands hahaha. This one came out of nowhere.

  @F1Ruaraidh I've not used iTunes for years even then it was a terrible experience. Would have thought that they would have fixed it by now.

  jackchantw (@jackchantw) reported 23 minutes ago

  @thaGlassAlice @mikeshinoda The same could be said about PlayStation memberships or Amazon gift cards or iTunes mp3 purchases. Amazon or Apple or Sony could shut down access to your digital content. The larger point/intent here is that can't happen with community ownership of assets

  @leesaw_jay @SIR_TRILLSA Fire!🔥I honestly don’t understand why it’s not on iTunes or Spotify. And the one on YouTube is sound is terrible 😩

  @boycats @Im_the_iPhoneXR @gregjoz That just speaks to your lack of expectation. iMac, iTunes, iPhone (the biggest) were all feats of brilliant design, engineering and service convergence, at a fraction of modern Apple's budget and talent pool. How can Apple break new ground when they can't break their own mould?

  @sara_carrion_ I've had on-going issues with my Apple MacBook Pro, photo and iTunes, external drives, 3 classic iPods, so I purchased a device that I thought would work [I don't like streaming music]. I bought a Hidizs gizmo that is literally HOT garbage.

  Only problem is, I can't find a way to download the episodes. Do I have to install the malware that is itunes to get this?

  @renaissnceperry because this happens with just some mvand when im gone is a example, the wig mv had a lot of people watching at the same time so its a common thing. the song has alredy reached the 9th position on us itunes charts so its kinda obvious that there is a problem.

  No one: Me: 3 Doors Down, “Kryptonite” is $.69 on iTunes.

  KNIGH22 (@KNIGH7__) reported 33 minutes ago

  @ItsaMeRBY Yeah, exactly. As a service it's really useful (because without it, I'd still be stuck listening to 1:30 iTunes previews for albums I don't own), but there's no way in hell I'd give them money for essentially hosting a load of music.

  @AppleSupport Please just rewrite it so it works. Happy to go through it with you if you think it’ll help…. Please suggest a fix for backup problem drive selection. Itunes is latest, installed last week.

  @__piss__ @insectwing the main reason i use apple music is bc of its local files service tbh. u just put the files in itunes and it automatically syncs to every device u have. i think it’ll store up to 10,000 songs in the cloud

  @iTunes @AppleSupport I upgraded my hotstart plan to premium. Instead of charging the difference, they charged me full. No problem, but they didn't even give me premium. I was still on super plan. So i asked for refund and they refunded 890 instead of 1500. Refund me fully!

  @asumoms @realchrisrufo @dougducey It routes me to some iTunes login page. So weird.

  Years ago many of spent hours and hours search for and downloading mp3s. It would slow down our computers and sometimes the files we downloaded were not those actual songs or were even malware. Then Apple created iTunes.

  @LlcPickaxe @PokemonMax @THEPOKEPLATEAU It worked/works good! Only time I ran into issues is when I tried running the app off of wifi instead of actually connecting the phone to the pc via iTunes!

  @creamcaramello You could just get a US App Store account it's not that hard. I have an Android phone with a US Google Play acct and a US App store acct I use to buy movies not on Malaysia iTunes or download US apps. Just mafan have to login download app and log out again.

  @dangrabham Have you tried the App Store on it? I got quite a lot of stuff down on to my iPad 1. Sideloaded some other bits from back-up disks that had IPAs (from when they lived in iTunes). Squareball was my only fail. (I loved and hated that game!)
