    @jasonmanning I still use mine, I just wish I could track down my iTunes account. 😢

  • BitcoinSkipper Skip (@BitcoinSkipper) reported

    @jackharlow album was the most downloaded and deleted on @iTunes this last month. Down bad.

  • trispycreaps namu⁷🌱 (@trispycreaps) reported

    @joonipity Means we can't stream it, not just for streams sake. But also it won't be on any Playlist. You'd have to either listen to it on the physical cd. Or have a separate Playlist that plays directly off your phone or computer. No Spotify, no iTunes. Or any streaming service

  • dawnluccy dawnluc (@dawnluccy) reported

    @houseofwhalien i still do this on my IPOD SHUFFLE BTW, but itunes has been not working recently :((

  • sargsyanz Zaven Sargsyan (@sargsyanz) reported

    90%+ of it is bulky importation of data that can be accessed in other parts of the EHR, or templates/stock paragraphs equivalent to an iTunes user agreement. Reading in entirety would be… weird. The problem is, all the noise makes it hard to find the signal.

  • cyrusmortazavi Cyrus Mortazavi (@cyrusmortazavi) reported

    Wow, @Apple ... the iTunes stores is broken AF.

  • ghost_thecatboy GHOST ✝️ VTuber🔞 (@ghost_thecatboy) reported

  • LoisMcEwan Lois McEwan (@LoisMcEwan) reported

    @malkintr4sh ITunes was terrible - no idea why people worshipped apple.

  • michaelwandling Mike (@michaelwandling) reported

    @chadhartigan This is a problem I never had because I spent an obscene amount of time meticulously cleaning my iTunes library. My chest is getting tight just thinking about all those wasted hours. 😩

  • jamescreameriii James Creamer III (@jamescreameriii) reported

    @chadhartigan Open up iTunes, select all those songs, right click > get info, and you could bulk edit song properties. This is how I used to solve that problem. I’ll never forget it.

  • iRajMatla Raj Matla (@iRajMatla) reported

    @AppleSupport When I'm trying to change my payment method in itunes it's not working and i can't even add funds to my apple id. It's been a month since i used apple music i really want it please solve my problem.

  • theJmacries Jim Ries (@theJmacries) reported

    @sycamorefilms Does your itunes app no longer work? I tried to use it and all I got was a white screen?? Your app or my issue?

  • BeginTry Dave Mason (@BeginTry) reported

    My wife had two, and I had the Shuffle model. I liked the hardware, but *hated* the software. iTunes, and the things it did to my mp3 files, was terrible. (Why couldn't we just drag & drop audio files directly to the device?) It made the Shuffle unusable.

  • kmadams88 SCMovementConservative (@kmadams88) reported

    @SethAMandel If I ever had an issue with the two I went through was when ITunes did an update. More than once I had to reload 130G of music.

  • markrlowe Mark Lowe (@markrlowe) reported from Hove, England

    @ibuch @faris Having said that I now miss how we listened to music before that. Part of the problem is iTunes, a badly designed piece of software where music disappears

  • jujutaesu . (@jujutaesu) reported

    @myalltae People exist the problem is their payment method it doesn't get accepted on itunes. Venezuela and Nepal were the same but they issued new cards or something that's why we were able to chart there and tae stans don't use shady ways to chart

  • FpvKosch Kosch_FPV (@FpvKosch) reported

    @olsenkal Streaming music uses a ton of battery and data, and new phones have no audio jack so an adapter is needed. Plus, I don't have to jump from service to service if one doesn't have the song I want, I can just buy the song from iTunes or another site and load it on the old iPad nano

  • SageBigavelli The Sage Walker Theory IS NOW LIVE OxBLS.com (@SageBigavelli) reported

    My Apple Music and iTunes link it broken getting it fixed now

  • Zinna1969 Insomniac (@Zinna1969) reported

    @TheJose8A Jose I’m a ITunes woman and I admit that wholeheartedly. But…. I broke down and bought the cd set USA it was only 14.95 shipping I wanted the global but the $50 shipping I just couldn’t justify. I will be buying the iTunes version as well. 💸💸💸

  • ssshhhh25661993 Joon’s wife; Jin is my hero⁷ 🪴🧈 (@ssshhhh25661993) reported

    @Almondchnt @TheJose8A @__mallikarjun Does this work on Mac? Back in the day I had some ripped mp3 copies on my phone and my iTunes had no issue but it’s been a while now

  • pakisback PakZone (@pakisback) reported

    I need some guide If i create ipa using itunes or imazing then it will be crash when installing using signing service or altstore or filza but when i install it using imazing ipa installer then it will be working fine.

  • BRUlachimolala BRUNΔ SΔNTΔNΔ⁷ (@BRUlachimolala) reported

    @taesoothe The problem is ppl will listen by links or yt but we WANTED tô be able to stream ir at least buy via iTunes bc not every one has the money to buy. In my country for ex we don’t have stores to buy from and to import it’s so expansive 😞

  • jasonnich4352 Pudlz (@jasonnich4352) reported

    @owentooelve I don't care about him enough to go look at his Twitter account to see if it's a parody account. You got Washington gear in your profile pic, you're a Washington fan; unless the dub is down. I have more pressing issues going on, like not reading the iTunes terms and conditions.

  • RandomKnicksGuy Brian (@RandomKnicksGuy) reported

    @katie_honan Man. I ruined my laptop in high school pirating music off limewire because I wasn’t going to pay for iTunes just to fill my iPod. Good days back then. Still have my thin iPod its broken but I still have it.

  • DBelbin David Belbin (@DBelbin) reported

    @Dorianlynskey Upgraded to 512gb a few years ago (nobody warned me it was still limited to 50,000 tracks though, which caused some problems) & replaced the battery. Have to keep an old Mac with ITunes though, as recent operating systems no longer support iTunes. Stil beats Spotify, as you say.

  • HugoThePinkCat 🐱🏳️‍🌈 Hugo the Pink Cat 🏳️‍🌈🐱 (@HugoThePinkCat) reported from Montréal, Québec

    @SyncroTrace They should still work, but the main issue with Zunes when they were a thing was the God awful DRM on the media you'd get from their iTunes-like service. So you'd be able to use the device and files already on it, but you won't be able to transfer audio to another device.

  • tech702mike Mike (@tech702mike) reported

    @Marks_Tech It’s crazy but we wouldn’t have the iPhone as we know it, without it. Jobs wanted a way to lock down music content so bad he even greenlit a Motorola phone with iTunes once.

  • MildlyBitter Nicole Serratore (@MildlyBitter) reported

    @adam807 My digital life is a total mess and I fear I just need to hire someone to sort all this out. Or just let it go when it all eventually crashes down. I have back-ups for music but I am sure I have done it "wrong" and it will not back-up as intended. My iTunes is a mess too. Yay

  • jasperspy Jamsper ⁷ (@jasperspy) reported

    @micky_soo @i_am_bts_ddaeng Even when I had a cd player in my computer I only used it to rip songs so I could listen to them in itunes. So, i ditched the middleman, so to speak, and listen with a streaming service. But I still want to own the albums, so I buy physical media.
