  • SingleGirlLife SingleGirl (@SingleGirlLife) reported

    Ok as much as I love @AppleMusic does anyone have the issue where they download the explicit version, then it defaults to the edited version in your iTunes? I’m 42 years old. I want to hear @SnoopDogg rap about smoking **** & beware of ******* & hoes

  • huzririn huzrin @ yiikuza (@huzririn) reported

    @5akiren i have the same issue except i dont use itunes

  • see_the_sus Susan See (@see_the_sus) reported

    @HttpStatus402 @JamesMendur @TheToddIndy And another one. This came up on my iTunes library while I was out driving yesterday. I'd have driven like the madwoman I am but I decided it wasn't the smartest thing to do what with the Indy Dept of Pub Works folks forgetting to put down salt or sand. #abftp

  • CatgirlEva Evangeline Domenech (@CatgirlEva) reported

    @ThisIsAdamB Honestly, I’d prefer using locally stored music over a streaming service. Unfortunately, outside of iTunes/Music, there’s no decent way (that I know of) to rip and manage music on a Macintosh.

  • DT_TR909 Decon "Nu Rave Is Dead Or Alive" Theed (@DT_TR909) reported

    @SomeBritBloke And, funny thing about the software I was using to burn discs; I ised several different programs (iTunes, Media Player, an independent disc burning software I forget the name of). None of them ever flagged up any issues.

  • foniker Kenan Turnbull (@foniker) reported

    @PearlWheres I still have aol. So, iTunes is the only music service I know.

  • GhostKarin Karin Hilshire (@GhostKarin) reported

    @bobafett @disneyplus Missed it. Too many damn streaming services that could dump to iTunes with season passes for twice the profit. But don't listen to me. Keeping new Star Wars behind a streaming paywall is extortion. Disney+ is one service I won't pay for. Customer lost. Same for Paramount+.

  • BoZaza BoZaza (@BoZaza) reported

    @rossgrady I subscribed to Spotify, Pandora, SiriusXM, & iTunes, so this brouhaha gave me good reason to trim an app. I like Pandora’s phoneme approach & is my fave. SiriusXM is required in my truck ‘cause it has no wifi, but I don’t appreciate talking dj’s on a music service. Unnecessary.

  • SoshulJustis Ratio Shack (@SoshulJustis) reported

    @OdinAwakens @Styx666Official Yeah. iTunes changed into Apple music. The only reason Spotify is ahead in the subscription-based music service is because Apple hesitated as they were unsure if ppl are comfortable with a monthly subscription to stream music.

  • AliffMzmml Nightwing (@AliffMzmml) reported

    @azizimusa_ Used to have the same problem. I connected my phone with laptop guna itunes, then tekan button sync. Now notifications tak delay dahh

  • traverslemiroir Macca’s Dissapointed Face (@traverslemiroir) reported

    @MattPotter If you’re using iTunes then yes it *might* because it was a terrible everything, but I wouldn’t have though the Apple Music app would (but I am ready to be proven wrong)

  • heyzamboniguy Scott Taylor (@heyzamboniguy) reported

    @roundhoward Is there a down the hatch specific feed on Spotify ? There was one on iTunes podcast but can’t seem to find one on spot

  • marc_laidlaw mL (@marc_laidlaw) reported

    @kshipwhitecat I only listen to Amazon music because my formative years of Apple/iTunes were so ******* miserable. But it plays very poorly with my iPhone and HomePod and all that ****. They're trying to wear me down.

  • UmbyUmbreon A Lot Of Random Misguided Barking 🐶💜 - 2% (@UmbyUmbreon) reported

    tryign to move away from spotif, and it's Not Easy tidal is a fairly decent option but is missing a very good chunk of my library same with youtube music apple music has only a few missing but i've had nothing but issues with it through itunes and web so that's a bust

  • WillTay82503420 50shadesofgay (@WillTay82503420) reported

    @satanlovesewe HAHAHAHA! Exactly! That was the problem with the PMRC too! You can't tell people what they can and can't listen to like that. But go ahead and switch to itunes. The war room is only the tip of the iceberg with the **** allowed content on there. Or there's amazon music.

  • erion_jordan EriTron_Jo😬 (@erion_jordan) reported

    Barbz the real countdown begins today! We are officially 5 days away from a groundbreaking moment in Nicki’s new era💯 each barb needs about $10-$20 and we can secure that #1 spot.. iTunes, Amazon, website 🤞🏾 we got this! “DO WE HAVE A PROBLEM?!” 2/4/22 🦄👶🏾

  • morningtroll Tina Gillis (@morningtroll) reported

    @Frances_Larina @rossgrady Sadly, I had to learn that the hard way by uploading 600 cds to iTunes to a cloud service I was paying for only to have them deem it pirated and delete it all. I have not since had the energy upload it again on a network or drive I own, so I got a Spotify premium membership.

  • dortheahangaard Dorthea Hangaard (@dortheahangaard) reported

    @lakeroadsmusic @torquilcampbell I should start buying from bandcamp instead of itunes. So far my only problem with TIDAL is that they don't have an equivalent to Spotify's "Release Radar" which is basically where I find most new music.

  • BuckshotRodger Rodger Buckshot (@BuckshotRodger) reported

    @SaintFrankly @iTunes What music streaming service do you use Francis? If at all that is. I want to cancel Spotify but I have no idea what to replace it with.

  • Bnickss zugabe😂😂 (@Bnickss) reported

    Broda Eri, a generation mechanic in ojodu, complains of how young boys don't stay and learn the vocation anymore, how they leave after 2 weeks, they'll rather go stay with one bros down the street to learn how to swap iTunes cards. It's like that all over Lagos.

  • kenshitakahashi Ryan Landry (@kenshitakahashi) reported

    @TheNCSmaster I have a possible solution; Nintendo could put their music on iTunes, Google Play, or even Amazon Music. That way, people could more easily access their music and Nintendo would not claim or take down other peoples' videos as often.

  • LadyShark57 SharkingIt57 🦈 (@LadyShark57) reported

    @foxalphaflorida I have issues with them when record companies and artists pull songs off iTunes which are then removed from my music library….and Apple doesn’t bother to tell me or issue a refund.

  • stunigor Igor🦋 (@stunigor) reported

    @physicaljudas Well i did tried with wired headphones too and the different was still almost unnoticeable, idk maybe on iPhones it sounds better because the Apple Music for Android is terrible, and the windows version is still attached to ITunes 🤢 never using that again

  • NewLeafs2016 Newleafs (@NewLeafs2016) reported

    @GMillerTSN @NeilYoungNYA @iTunes Also in that Rogan interview, he discussed the mortality rate of myocarditis. It's also been established in peer-reviewed studies. I've seen several. Do you care to know what the mortality rate is after 5 years from myocarditis? Or should we censor discussion of such issues?

  • TheOscarGoff Oscar Goff (@TheOscarGoff) reported

    I’m seeing some takes saying that it’s unrealistic to expect people to buy music now that they’ve been getting it for free, which is pretty funny because that is literally exactly what happened when they shut down Napster and opened iTunes.

  • Smeagol92055B Smeagol (@Smeagol92055B) reported

    @Nemesisgoldhair @Geese_Juggler I uploaded my iTunes library to Google Play Music. Several years later when that went defunct, I migrated to a YouTube Music account. Two years ago I downloaded that over the course of a few days, 6 months ago I dumped everything on a Plex server. By that metric I'm Dostoevsky.

  • Hobie_SHRED 🌊SHRED🌊 (@Hobie_SHRED) reported

    I'm trying to reactivate an old iPad I had in storage. It says the server can't be reached. Try iTunes. I just want it for recording with GarageBand. Is this going to be a big hassle? I don't Apple product much.

  • 403Fish moderatlyAnnoyed⚜️ (@403Fish) reported

    @RichH42 @LdyPhantom42 @nilslofgren Spotify never forced me to listen to Rogan but remember when iTunes made us download that terrible U2 album?

  • o_superfood En Dash Enthusiast (@o_superfood) reported

    @violanorth @juddgreenstein @yugacohler iTunes pricing was ten bucks per album, wasn't it? That's not much cheaper than a lot of CDs, and incalculably more than any streaming service.

  • kcup_espresso Katie (Katherine) S ☃️ (@kcup_espresso) reported

    Me: digital material is extremely difficult to preserve bc it relies on specific hardwares and softwares that quickly and easily become obsolete, amidst other issues Also me: damn I’ve spent years curating my Spotify playlists after losing my entire iTunes library
