🎃 oka (@ammmmo1900) reportedMy issue is People had to basically plead atinys to purchase lemon drop and it’s remixes on iTunes which couldn’t even go top 10 and then fell off after day 2 despite costing the same price as a lollipop but when they saw the gap for number 1 on bb200 they all got energised to make big moves.

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

Timbø $lice™ (@MMmvp56) reportedDamn @Snapchat if it's not broken don't fix it. No one wants an AI bot forced on them like a @U2 album on 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.

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?

Tete🔥 | D-DAY (@cngrejito) reported@Chimyypg @ThePopBase Several members have historical records in iTunes that your tail burns with envy is not my problem girl

Marki (@itsproseccopapi) reported@Calvinwaldorf Anyone know! Why there’s an error on puchasing this on iTunes last night and if thats the reason why she’s not in the iTunes chart at all?????
-
Cranky Cold War Vet (@Bhess) reported@HSajwanization TBH Apple has never been very good at software. iTunes has sucked for years. Phone updates regularly have problems.
-
Pop Jewels (@pop_jewels) reported@marinajewels_ Falling down the ITunes Charts too Khia hell

✨twilight sparkle✨ (@TwiIySparky) reported@Sevo6xHPnVaRvbl @woah_pinkhorse @torako_tiger most likely or a rendering error from the itunes version
-
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.

Explainer (@ByExplainer) reported@sk8ergrlmitsuki @iconredesign Because iTunes Remote will probably shut down in iOS 27 (maybe even ios 26)

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...

dani 击̸ XØ (@daniimustdie) reported@bulletsforlunch its disabled cause i havent used it in like 6 years.... i was tryna restore it on itunes but i keep getting errors
-
smick 🍬 (@0xsmick) reported@grantdfindlay @ljin18 The issue is price. CDs no matter the quality are $10. iTunes tracks are $1. NFTs have an insane range and that range is always changing so anyone can see the possibility of buying low and selling high.
-
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

Ultramõrd Sillu (@suunasolkija) reported@spectatorindex UAE: Please stop before someone actually reads the UN Charter we’ve all been ignoring like it’s the iTunes Terms of Service.

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
