SaintRam Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Firstly, does anyone still use iTunes? Discuss. Also, if anyone does use iTunes and wants to buy the £15 iTunes gift card I have acquired, let me know. I will sell it for £14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richinspain Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 I use iTunes too. I believe it's the only way to pass music to an iPod, iPad or iPhone, but I may be wrong. Apart from downloading directly to the device, obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Apple music for me, long free trial then a 3 person membership for the price of a CD a month, across a number of devices too. It just works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfie Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 My iTunes library is a mess. About 2/3 of my music has got corrupted somehow, so I can only play about 320 songs. I can see the others on the PC and they are shown (in grey) within iTunes but it says it can't play them. It has also deleted all of my playlists. Not looking forward to trying to sort all that crap out - unless anyone has any ideas?. Oh, and just seen the Apple have killed off the iPod nano & shuffle.

The problem I have with the commercial services is that they take your listening data and use it to try and market stuff at you. On principle I wouldn't have a problem with that if the algorithms they use were in any way accurate. I tried Amazon music for a bit but the recommendations were hideous. Music is such a subjective thing, you simply can't say - you like A & B therefore you will like C. It just doesn't work. But then maybe I'm weird. I have East 17, Captain Beefheart, Gustav Mahler, UB40, Chet Baker, Taylor Swift and Marillion in my library Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Suggestions can sometimes throw something decent your way, same with Netflix, although you have to rely a lot there as the homepage isn't the most friendly, pushing all the rubbish they want to promote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
