iTunes was once the most popular place to browse, buy, and listen to music. But that was about 15 years ago, and a lot has changed since then. In fact, many people today consider iTunes to be a bloated, slow, bug-infested application that’s become the victim of its own success. So what exactly happened to iTunes? Well, in order to answer this question, we have to go back to before iTunes ever existed. Before the iTunes Music Store was around, major record labels were having a huge problem with piracy. People were ripping music from CDs and sharing digital song files to every corner of the globe by using peer-to-peer file sharing applications like Napster. But most people weren’t pirating music because they were criminals, they were pirating music because there was no other way to download digital song files in those days. There was no digital music marketplace. If you wanted the latest single from Eminem or Beyonce, you’d have to make a trip to your local record store and spend fifteen or twenty dollars to buy the entire album. Even if that single was the only song you wanted. So you can imagine the appeal of hopping on Napster and downloading individual songs for free from the comfort of your own home, even if it was technically illegal. And because things like the internet and the iPod grew in popularity so quickly, so did digital music piracy, and it caught record labels off guard.
Their initial approach to combat piracy was to make examples out of the worst file-sharers. They did this by taking legal action and threatening the same treatment to any other pirate. But this warning fell on deaf ears since it just wasn’t possible to prosecute hundreds of thousands of Napster users. So then they got another idea, what if music could be copy-protected so that it wouldn’t be possible to rip CDs in the first place? But before the music industry could follow through with that plan, they were approached by Steve Jobs, who introduced a completely new way to combat music piracy. The concept was that you can’t stop people from pirating music, but you can discourage it by offering an easier, more convenient way to find and download digital music at a reasonable price. - Наука та технологія
It got turned into Apple Music
By Tim Apple
Spotify 😍
Android Apple music app sucks
utlxutee utmm lol
@@icecoolice7818 apple music is good on iphone and garbage on android
The only problem is that there’s no desktop app for Apple Music. iTunes Apple Music sucks
Never realized how bloated iTunes is; i just use it to organize music files and sync backups for my devices and am mostly satisfied with it besides the random bugs. Apple should def focus on creating standalone apps for apple music and maybe other features like they do for podcasts
detailsmove the latest version of itunes is ok for offline usage but still buggy in online usage.
Red Edwards facts
It’s fine for me on macOS but it’s hell on Windows
@@AlexIzbrodin I run 11.4 on 8.1 and it works perfectly
detailsmove I get problems when syncing my device. I never backup my phone to iCloud so I use iTunes, but when I want to sync like 1 song to my phone it backs up automatically, when I click the don’t backup button thingy on the top, it does nothing, it takes awhile to do something, but most times it still backs up.
Usually I would spam it but after it cancels the backup, most times it would cancel and then cancel the sync.
They should add a button to disable automatic backup.
I don’t know. I don’t have problems playing Apple Music on my mac, but I agree that it needs major improvements.
TwistedOracle Exactly, it’s not that it’s not working, they just need to update it to today’s standards, just set it on par with the iOS and Tvos apps
I use Spotify and Apple Music’s biggest lack is syncing music that’s playing between devices. With Spotify I can have AirPods on my iPad, then if I’m getting up to have a smoke I connect them to my phone, and it’s playing the same song at the same time. Also using my phone to control my playlist on my PC.
Surprised Apple hasn’t done that since everything else they do is so in sync between devices.

Lmao bro you turned mine on. Wild
Soyboy That’s impossible.
I improved my Apple Music experience by cancelling my subscription and switching to Spotify. Sick of the greying out of my legally purchased iTunes tracks.
Michael Gaudette I did that too. I just didint like they way it mixed with my purchased music it felt clunky. So now I have my local music in that app and the rest on Spotify
@@justjon_6844 well I did the exact opposite thing
The problem with iTunes, it’s all about the INTERFACE. The reason it’s so slow and sluggish, it’s because it is downloading a lot of crap you don’t need , Hi-Rez visuals, videos et cetera. All embedded within an interface which comes across like Walmart or a secondhand car is showroom.
The simple functionality of the early iTunes, when your tracks and songs and playlists were all embedded with it in a simple hierarchical menu structure- when they abandoned that they lost the plot.
Apple Music screwed up my iTunes library.
It screwed mine as well. Now it just won’t respond anymore since a few days ago…
stabinghobo57 when I closed out my Apple Music account last year because of financial havoc caused by my service AT&T their music program deleted all my own music that took me years to acquire. I called them and told a supervisor what their program did. She gave a 3 month refund. If you have Apple Music don’t bother ripping music to your Mac type computer. I learned this the hard way.
Every time it updates it moves my stuff around and loses some stuff. If I play it on shuffle the lost stuff gets played but I can't find it on any menu. Very frustrating.
yep, same here.
Apple Music is 🔥🔥💩💩🚀👹
Apple should keep iTunes just for music and video purchase and iDevice management, but they Must create a dedicated Apple Music app for the Mac
yeah I just wish they remove the useless crap like podcasts and such
I wish I could use it for iDevice management. My iTunes refuses to recognise either of my iPhones. I stripped all the apps from my old iPhone and loaded it up with music as a kinda iPod for use in my car. Since the last update iTunes won't talk to either iPhone. It still works fine with my old iPods but they lack the capacity to hold a decent library.
I think that's exactly what they're gonna do ... But with itunes having 4 apps built into one ... Is probably gonna take like a few updates to salvage the program or give a enormous update that practically would required to remove the program and re install it as if it was brand new
It was always bloated. The problem was that it was a mess right from the start and they built from that foundation.
Apple bought the rights to a popular music program I was using called SoundJam. It just so happened was already organized and accessed with SoundJam that when it was purchased by Apple and renamed "iTunes" I was good to go.
Apple.com/feedback
When it came out people ran pentium 4's.... just awful, always was. I wondered when they'd just scrap it, but I gave up on that hope long ago.
Convincing majors to sell music online was probably the greatest thing Jobs accomplished.
Ritmoteca did it before Apple. Apple was just a more well known company.
@Pixle apple has always been about finding markets with low quality products to emerge into with a great product. An example was the Macintosh which took Xerox's graphical interface idea and added to it and refined it. Xerox came out with a terribly bloated over-expensive computer with the technology 3 years prior to the 1984 Macintosh that failed.
Napster sold music online legally after the pirating lawsuit.
@@Undecided0 which I hadn't heard of until now. It doesn't matter who does things the very first time, but who does them right AND enjoys popularity. I can invent something in my house and show it to a few friends, but if some other person does it too and it becomes a worldwide phenomenon, they're the one who get the credit, because they're the one who changed things.
@@Undecided0 also I'm sure whatever Ritmoteca was didn't have the vast library iTunes had at its peak, or even its launch
Depending on the song I actually still buy it from the iTunes Store
"Lossless tracks in the iTunes store"
Do you wanna try again?
JonnyInfinite - Apple really failed in that respect and continue to do so. I’ve probably never spent in total more than £50 on music from iTunes in the past 15 years, always preferring to buy and rip lossless. In the 3 months since last December I’ve spent more than 10 times that amount on 3 or 4 online digital stores that specialise in High Resolution music, offering 16 bit lossless CD quality as the MINIMUM available quality when Hi-Res isn’t available. One of my favourite bands recently reissued their entire remastered back catalogue on vinyl - but not CD. The albums are available on iTunes at 14.99 (256kbps AAC) as well as at least 2 online stores that specialise in lossless, in CD quality for under 13.99. For me - that’s a no-brainer.
@@gedkennedy8059 the irony is, with Mastered for iTunes, they have a 24/96 standard in submitting recordings to the store. So they have the quality there
@@gedkennedy8059 what's the lossless store's name?
@@shivangswain You can buy a lot of .FLAC music directly from the artists on Bandcamp
@Shivang P Swain
I bought quite a bit from Onkyo to begin with (a version of 7Digital, I think) after seeing the ludicrous prices on HD Tracks and shopping around. I use Onkyo as a last resort now, although reasonably priced with a good catalogue, I now prefer HiResAudio.com as they have more discounts, sales and give you loyalty points worth actual cash with every album purchase. I’ll be taking out a 1 Year Qobuz Sublime membership in the next week or two. It’s a whopping £300 a year for Hi-Res streaming access to their entire catalogue but you get massive discounts on everything if you want to buy an album. On average, a 24/96/-24/192 album that would normally be £15 is discounted to under £10, £35 deluxe editions are sold at about £20, some expensive super deluxe collections are discounted by as much as 60%. So, in future I’ll be comparing Qobuz after member discount with HiResAudio for buying albums and using Onkyo as a last resort for anything the others don’t have. (HiResAudio don’t sell anything below 24 bit, so they do have less choice. Just beware of the choice between regular 24/96 FLAC and MQA FLAC. I mistakenly bought an MQA album from them a few weeks ago thinking it would be future proof, only to find the tracks were 24/44.1 and not 24/96 - I don’t have an MQA hardware DAC add on - yet, so I’m not getting the higher sample rate on that one album - expensive learning curve!) I recently bought the Audivana plus player for Mac, it’s better than using iTunes for playback at home and can handle any audio format and resolution. It’s far from perfect and a damned ugly interface, but I’m still getting used to using it. Hope that helps, sorry for long, rambling reply.
iTunes is somehow naturally slower on PCs than Macs
legosavantfun I don’t even understand the comparison you are trying to make, but that is wholesomely true
legosavantfun my iPhone 6s got faster over time js
Deadbäss that’s windows for you
Matthew Elerick pretty much lmao
It's TRUE, apple purposely doesn't optimize the windows version. It's a 3rd grade marketing strategy
"... buy the album, even if you only wanted that single." Um, singles were available on CD for a lot less.
I remember singles being pretty expensive for 1 song. The packaging alone means it's going to be >double the cost of a digital download.
I remember the album art not syncing on my 4th gen iPod touch
I remember the song names on the 4th gen turning grey and I could not play them at all. There were also problems with iTunes splitting albums in parts (either by album or artist) after changing artist and/or album tags. Only a few years ago did I became aware that you need another program to change the tags of the tag-protected audio files.
I remember back when i can just listen to radios on the music app without having to buy apple music
Good old days
*subscribe
Radio.com
You still can if you click the internet radio tab.
I think I can still do that with my 3rd gen ipod touch
I want my iPod Classic back.
Thank you !!
AlienatedIllusions
And a Motorola Razr V3 that works on a 5G network.
iPod didn’t work online. It also didn’t come with a built in speaker. But it certainly performs better than any iPhone or iPad that I know despite not having a touch screen. In fact I had it tested back to back using a Bluetooth adapter for iPod and the sound quality from the iPod was better. How??
On top of which iPod’s OS is so simple that I can play back any playlist (or playlist folder) shuffle it by album or artist or song, AND it will shuffle THE WHOLE PLAYLIST! (Your confirmation of that showed on the screen as you shuffled it: 1/(out of) 1539.
iOS stops you after 100 songs, while iTunes seems to stop after 20 (confirmed that with a tech support agent)
Why can’t I have that functionality that iPod was so good at?
Am I the only one that uses iTunes. My music is too precious to be relying on a streaming service.
jj
OMG THANK YOU! I couldn’t have said it better. I’m just not into having to pay a fee every single month for music that may or may not be there. It’s infuriating when you go listen to a song/ album and it’s not there! Yet it was last week. On the other hand it’s equally infuriating when iTunes is your only avenue for music and if an obscure band/artist isn’t on iTunes then you’re SOL. I know it’s old school but I miss CD’s, and when you could make your own tapes from the radio! My music is my life
Mr. Emerald The Green agree! However, I never had any problem finding an artist on iTunes, everyone is there I guess..and also I always kept it old school... never used that iTunes Match, iCloud music or any of that shit! Buy a song and sync my devices.. straight and simple...and never had a problem
@@Mr.EmeraldTheGreen both Apple music and Spotify are music streaming services, which suck because Chinese providers such as netease and tencent allow you to stream AND download music as mp3, FLAC. Awesome. You can stream if you lack storage, and can download lossless music if you cherish your music library
@@Mr.EmeraldTheGreen lmao because making tapes from the radio was so much more convenient that turning on a streaming service, dude please jjhgfhjkhgfhj i get the nostalgia but in terms of convenience nothing beats streaming services and their libraries and always growing. if you listen to a lot of music 3-5$ a month is NOTHING compared to paying a dollar for each song or buying 10-30$ physical albums lol. and i mean, you can dowload your music to listen to it offline? or buy it in the apple music app?
jj Spotify has nearly replaced it entirely. I can download everything so the streaming part isn’t an issue.
People use it for iPhone extensions like backing up, resetting, updating, etc
It’s a headache even when managing iPhone on iTunes. They need separate dedicated softwares for managing Apple devices, for streaming songs and for upcoming Apple video streaming service
I am basically a PC user as I have 4 Windows 10 PC's and a Window 10 tablet. Until recently, when I recover personal data on a failed 7 year old iMac I was given it, I the only Apple device I have is an 200 gig (yes I know I replaced the hard drive inside as the 160 gig drive failed) iPod Classic.
IMHO, the only thing that Apple did right was the iPod Classic. I am going to keep keep it running as long as possible. I find the space issue on the iPod Touch unacceptable and full of bloatware. When one has 2 terabytes of music all backed up in multiple places, both locally and in the cloud.
On my main computer I haven't upated iTunes since version 10.7 as that was the last version that contain a feature that I use the most other than syncing music with my iPod is iTunes DJ.
Since the death of Steve Jobs, Apple has lost all innovation. The latest version of the iPhone is only playing catch up with its competitors.
wdym what happened to iTunes? it was originally meant for mp3 players like the ipod nano and ipod classic, but now its apple music.
It's still iTunes and still brings in billions in revenue so I don't understand this video at all....
Sean S It brings in significantly less revenue and is bloated.
@@brysontaylor5317 nobody uses the iTunes store to buy songs anymore. now people use apple music so they save money
Uhhh, yes they DO. So what's going to happen to all the music I have bought?? Will I no longer be able to access it???
Phew! You take a HUGE load off my mind. :-) My music means EVERYTHING to me.
I liked the album and CD hard copies. I would buy CDs and make CDRs to use in the car. I have found that some of the BEST music is contained on albums and never got airplay.
I would do that too!
15 years ago: Online music store where everything costs 99 cents
Now: That one program that you use to update your iPhone every so often
Even then you can update over WiFi now, iTunes is for niche functions on your I device only
I really like the Steve Jobs doll, the price is fair too. I’m just not sure what a grown man would do with a doll 😂
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Apple Explained no why put the lenny face there
@@AppleExplained lol, nice emoji
Is the altar included?
Stick pins in it!
I never like streaming services. Still prefer to buy my music on itunes.
SNSD Sunny I do the same thing. I like picking out what I listen to.
There are 2990 songs in my apple store library. I don't have that much money unfortunately.
Same
Lise Mitchell you can do the same thing with services. Buying individual songs is such a waste of money, could be valid if you bought cds for collection but buying digital music is a dumb waste of money just get a service like Apple Music or Spotify and you’ll get everything for a low price
I always hate iTunes if I pay for music I should be able to listen to it on any device I want
Ah, I remember the days of setting up iPods and iPhones on iTunes....back in high school and a few years after that. I'm a tad old school and still prefer local backups of mine and my wife's iPhone on iTunes. That's pretty much the only function is serves for me today. Great video thanks!
Oh iWhat? Completely forgot about it when they removed the AppStore because Tim thought I like to read and write reviews on a tiny phone screen while there's a perfectly fine 27" iMac with mouse and keyboard directly in front of me.
iTunes Match is still there and works fine!
FYI: iTunes is the only music software (as far as I know) that handles classical music correctly with "work" and "movement" tags.
Who would win?
Sophisticated data and content syncing application
Good ol' Ctrl C Ctrl V
I have had it with Itunes, what is the alternative?? well done and very clearly explained.!!
I stopped using it years ago after several updates kept deleting my playlists that I painstakingly kept updating only to see it get wiped out by their crummy updates that were flawed.
It takes 5 minutes to open and 3 minute to scroll through my music because lag
On what device?
Short answer: they switched to apple music or spotify
Every video I watch I see you comment
3:34 I loved those card designs so much, I really wish they still had them
I remember when I used to buy songs on iTunes, I noticed a few wouldn't play, a few were low quality and also had the unpleasant surprise of viruses. Also I remember when an old laptop crashed, I lost my entire library and which was never recuperrated with my new laptps even though I used the same Apple account! Never got a refund or replacement for any of the above.
From my experience, when I think of iTunes, high quality music doesn't come to mind.
I actually love iTunes, sure there are things that can be improved but I love having the ability to edit track names, album covers, etc. Something that you can't do with Spotify
gimmemorehector my library got ruin sooo its a no for me
Omg same! Especially when I just don’t like how an album cover looks I love having the ability to change it!
yes because those serives are two different things , a streming service vs buying songs
My first choice is apple music. And itune for backup only
You smashed the nail on the head as to why I stopped using iTunes. I didn't think the iCloud music library changing things around was something that a lot of people experienced. I had playlists for thousands of songs since 2006 and one day I got the free trial of Apple Music - it screwed everything up when it came to the end of the trial so I just gave up and switched to Spotify. But not downloading music locally means that I don't DJ as much in my spare time anymore.
It also deletes any of my music that isnt bought from the store, such as imported songs from discs.
iTunes is still the best, I know for standard albums from cd's, vinyl and Bandcamp, and PirateBay. What the hell is Spotify, Soundcloud etc.
Tidal streaming is the way to go! ITunes is dead.
@@NathanChisholm041 You just won't get the same albums I get. Only mainstream and mostly english ones. If you want some Latvian or Russian no hope. Also lot of Vinyl LP's never got rereleased like Ieva Akurātere. There is just no alternative to something like native music player.
@@NathanChisholm041 One other thing that I though. If that album is on the cloud, you can't be sure that content in that album or the way song sounds will be the same as in original copy. GTA4 radio has been changed, Kanye has changed album content, song order, mastering. Joe rogan with Unbox Therapy talked about that.
iTunes is shite, even more so in 2019.
Make a video about how people used to setup a iPhone, generation after generation
Hello Greg, This is the first time I’ve ever found a error in your information. Back in the day when I had a galaxy phone & a iPod nano, I was using the iTunes Store. On my PC to listen to the music on my galaxy phone or to make a ringtone in iTunes I converted the file from ACC to MP3. When Apple Music was launched Apple removed this ability from iTunes to convert the files right in iTunes.
Think you could do an episode on the 2009 iTunes purge of DRM-only tracks? There are a number of tracks that have never made it back to the service since.
I hate streaming services. If I'm somewhere where there is a slow connection or no connection at all... no music.
iTunes used to be simple, fast, and managed music fairly well. Now it's a mess and many of the features I liked in old iTunes is no longer available: For example, the ability to shuffle a playlist and then SAVE that shuffled playlist.
Now I'm using Spotify and Amazon Music more, but I still have an iPod that will only sync to iTunes.
TonyP0927 I’m still miffed they removed power search from the iTunes Store. Makes it so much harder to search for covers and the like.
Dear god those stubbles at that igenius plushie thing @ 0:35 ituned me out.
I still use version 12.4.3.1. It is the last relevant version, the design is just perfect, and we still have colours for album artworks in the bars. Now the design is A MESS, BIG ALBUM COVERS AND WITH BIG TRACKLISTS
Lucas Carvalho But can you sync the phone using the old version of iTunes?
9:36 lmao didn't know Apple Explained liked Animals as Leaders!
™™Contact To Tim 🍎 For More Information™™
I remember me in 2005 converting files from CDA (the compact disk) to MP3 with RealPlayer and once in MP3, filling the data such as Artist, Album, etc. with iTunes.
Then, you got a well named music in your music devices from your disks.
The great benefit of Apple Music (over Spotify for instance) is, that you can upload as many songs as you want and can download as many songs as you want on a given device for offline use (Google Play is the only other service that allows this).
Apple: we think we know what you want, but we don't actually.
But we still won't listen to you.
iTunes being bloated actually helped me recover my disabled iPad
...How?
Apple could have made it a different app than putting it in a music store app
Its a downward spiral we have seen in other software for years. Software is great-people scream for more features-more features added-people are happy for a few days then they want more stuffs-more stuffs added-5 years later the software is a bloated mess and everyone blames the software maker because they added everything people wanted.
Here's what I think:
Combine App Store and iTunes Store into one app "iTunes Store"
Keep Apple Music with iTunes music player and call it "Apple Music"
Let QuickTime handle video stuff
Make an app for syncing with iOS device
But I love that I can mix my purchased songs with my Apple Music library in iTunes. I don't really get why people want them separated they automatically go into their own playlist
@@corytc5095 I think you don't understand. What I meant is when you purchase a song, it goes to Apple music, then you can listen to your music on Apple Music app. Like when you download app from App Store and use it from Launchpad.
I personally use Music due to the 3 month free trial and the cleaner interface. However, I personally wouldn’t mind switching over to Spotify.
Brandon Dev if you do go to Spotify get Spotify++. You will get a free premium account.
Ty Lambert You think I don’t already know that? I’d pay for offline downloads and the updated interface.
If they are worried about bloating, why not just have 2 different programs, 1 as just the media store and the second program as just a stand alone media program from content you buy from iTunes and CD’s you rip
man im old i remember using Music Match app to add music to my iPod
Only after I got a mega PC is iTunes somewhat usable. I only use it for putting .WAV files onto the awesome sounding iPod
This is literally all I do because some of my favorite artists aren't on Spotify and Spotify is my main streaming service!!
Apple Music works a lot better now than it did before. I can easily start listening to songs on my MacBook the same as on my phone, even if they take a moment to buffer
Personally I love iTunes, granted there are some things I don't love about it but overall I love it
This is why I purchased a new Sony A55 Walkman last month. I got so sick of iTunes, missing artwork, and having to do storage management on my iPhone via music playlists as there is no MicroSD slot on iPhones to hold all of my Music. I used MP3 Tag to correct all of my music metadata. This one decision has now opened me up to a Samsung or Sony phone upgrade when my iPhone 7 dies in a year or two
Well, I had an experience a couple of months ago on a 2011 Macbook Pro 13" running OS X Mavericks, where there was a group of people from my local Anglican church who wanted to dance to some music stored on a CD. One of the women had already put the CD into the optical drive of that machine, but it didn't seem to read it. I had to help them out. Fortunately, I already knew that 2011 13" Macbook Pros have an ODD eject button, so I pressed it and the CD came right out. I pushed the CD back in and the women opened iTunes. By the time the ripping was done, the woman had gone, so I decided to remove the CD since it was not needed anymore. However, I didn't know where the CD case was, so for safekeeping, I put the CD back into the drive. Much to my surprise, iTunes started ripping the CD again, even though the whole CD had already been ripped. Is that a bug in iTunes?
From the moment I plugged in my first iPod and realized I couldn't simply drag and drop like every other mp3 player, I suspected the closed ecosystem that Apple wanted and decided no thanks. Since then I've only bought Apple when I felt they had the undisputed best product, which hasn't happened in a long time (the first touch iPod, the first few iPhones).
Actually the 2018 ipad has been a first time apple reached that point for me again. But just because i needed something to paint nice on digital for a low price.
I hate that the speakers are only on the bottom. If you watch a movie the sound only on one side is horrible. Yhea. But i bought it for work not for entertainment. Still, i don't get how apple thinks speakers only at the bottom are a good design for a tablet or a good product for that price in any way.
@@cutelionx It's funny that you mention using it for art. When the tablets in general first came out, they seemed pointless to me, possibly because I'm a software engineer and am therefore basically always on my laptop, and I have a phone if I want something even more portable than that. But then I observed one of my artist friends and realized that tablets fit the digital art use case perfectly.
Didn't even occur to me at first, probably because I can barely manage drawing a decent flower. Actually I did draw a recognizable Goku one time by copying someone else. Pretty sure that was my peak.
Their transition to the microsoft store was a disaster
Keita Tsutsumi why? You can still download direct from apple and from store. What’s wrong with the store version?
@@Beezer123mr The app stability I guess?
I run that app on my surface pro and it works fine
Albert Johnson some people couldn't even install it, including me. The installer couldn't "uninstall previous version" for me
iTunes is very useful to me... I have recovered so many bricked iDevices, I have used it to downgrade to signed firmwares for jailbreaking, I have installed a lot of music on it via jailbreaking.... That’s one reason why I stick with iPhones... I haven’t seen anything like this on the Android side... It has allowed me to do soooo many things on my iDevices....
i still use it for organizing my music, but it has become mor and more bloated, which made it slower :(
i stopped updating a long time ago
Spotify master race. iTunes really is a slow convoluted pain in the ass.
Lmaooo. Yep. Thank the lord I never had to deal with POS iTunes.
iTunes is the very reason why I modded my old 5th gen iPod Video with a CF card and installed Rockbox so that I could drag and drop everything,its just so much simpler that way on any computer.
Izunami how did you do it? I have a 3rd gen Nano I’d like to play around with
I use iTunes to manage my apple devices. iTunes is very slow and sometimes crashes when I try to sync my apple devices
David Gaboda Apple.com/feedback
I don’t have a problem ever on iTunes except for accessing the iTunes Store.
I still can’t get wifi syncing with my iPhone or iPad to work most of the time. And the last time I tried to set up a new iPhone by restoring from an iTunes backup it kept freezing so I had to use iCloud instead.
The music side is replaced by Apple Music and backing up etc can be done through iCloud. You can still buy films and stuff though.
Everytime i hear someone say a new music streaming is the ''spotify killer'' i just laugh.
nobody here in sweden uses anything else, just spotify lol
@Bobby Brady im just telling what ive seen here, i never said like ''lol sweden > us''
Although I'm not a subscriber on Spotify, I love their apps, reliability, playlists and such. However I prefer to use Google Play Music because it integrates with my existing library and I can easily buy songs on there. Now if Spotify ever integrates that, I'm moving to Spotify.
@Bobby Brady Typical American response. Just because it happens in the US doesn't always mean the rest of the world will follow. The last time I checked, the rest of the world was still bigger than the US of A (except for maybe your ego's).
Here are some facts: Worldwide, as of Q4, 2018, Spotify has almost twice as much PAYING subscribers (96 million) compared to Apple Music's paying and trial users combined (56 million). In total Spotify has 207 million active users.
And I'm not saying it can't happen, but saying it will happen cause it happens in the US is actually the same as "everyone in Sweden uses Spotify".
@Bobby Brady Just because the internet is accessible all around the world doesn't mean the content is. Thanks to geoblocking, the content of streaming services differs per country or continent.
@Bobby Brady I'm not anti American... All you do is come with assumptions as where I state facts. Guess you're the one who is stupid.
Why is your voice changed
Why has your voice changed? ***
Shivraj Roy. True
Seriously, why is no one talking about this??
I've had no big issue with iTunes even after Apple Music entered the picture. It does take time and I'm a little obsessive over keeping my library clean. Apple will probably fragment the the various iTunes features and liken it to iOS (Marzipan versions likely) due to fan pressure. I just hope I'll still be able to organize and edit metadata on both my purchased and streamed tracks.
I've been using iTunes ever since I was a kid for organizing and listening to music, and am still stuck with it as I am on Windows with an iPhone and iPad. My dad has had several problems, and I've heard lots of complaints, but with my basic use to just play stored music and change its information, and occasionally sync my devices, it's actually pretty great. Does that stuff very fast with zero issues. I, of course, am not using it for much more. Going to the iTunes store to purchase music sucks though, it's super slow. Doesn't support biometrics for payments anyways so I just use my iPad and iPhone for that since they run the store so much better.
I love using iTunes for my iTunes library (have been since 2007) it could be a a lot less laggy
Old cringe man
Spotify and other streaming services.
My iPad even in some other apps that have nothing to do with music either lag or kick me out completely
I had iTunes in my Windows 7 laptop it ran smooth at first but when there was more updates it started slowing down my iTunes library and my laptop.
Apple is becoming too bureaucratic. Fortunately, the Apple Apps Store is a free-market. But here's a " What if ", what if Apple removed Spotify from the Apps Store?
I actually like iTunes am I the only one
Crunch and Fitness no, I like it too. I also use iPods only for my music every day. I just prefer iPods over phones for music. I can’t imagine iTunes not existing tbh!
Crunch and Fitness I do too
yes
I like it again now I've fixed the disaster of iTunes Match and Apple Music.
Meeeee
Three times Apple ios did major updates on my iphone, three times the f**king updates deleted all my tunes, some of which I had bought as downloads, many I had ripped from my own CDs to listen "on the go". It was such a pain to reload all the mp3 tracks that I didn't bother the last time it happened. I bought a cheap mp3 player, drag and drop, and I can listen to my music, no more ios, no more clunky and user unfriendly itunes.
The thing I most detest about Apple, iphones and ipads, is the way Apple make it so difficult to access or manage MY data on MY device.
When my iphone 4 finally dies, I will go Android. When my ipad dies, I will manage without.
7:26 Wait! Is iTunes Match the same as iCloud music library or they’re separate? I’m asking it because in one of your first videos, “History of iTunes”, you say that “iTunes Match is supposed to add songs to a user’s iCloud Music Library”, contradicting what you said here.
What happened to iTunes? It's not a hard question. In 2019 people stream music rather than download it. Why because faster internet connections made streaming possible.
What about when there is no internet connection?
Then you can download your music offline but there’s an arbitrary limit on how much offline storage you can have. So far, the limit is abysmal across all platforms. UA-cam Music offers 5 GB of offline storage which is absolutely ridiculous. Once they allow us to have at most 512GB of offline storage, it will hook those last people like myself into streaming
@@sharpwittube2020 No internet connection is a non issue for most of the USA. I can't speak of so many other countries although in China it also seemed to be a non issue. I guess if you live in a very rural part of the USA or in a country that doesn't have very good cellular network then the older style non streaming way of listening would be a better option. With a constant connection I don't even see the need for any offline storage. I can download music with Apple Music but I rarely do. I click the song I want then stream it.
And by that answer I can tell you never watched the video 😂
Not in a third world country
I have no issues with iTunes. Always works for me. I don’t stream.
Same
I work with many professional grade programs but I always struggled the most with iTunes
What song do you play in your videos? I like it!
I have never downloaded a single song from iTunes. I don't tend to use products which start with the letter "i"
What happened to iTunes?
People just got rid of iPhones and bought androids.
Wrong. iTunes worked when you had an iPod which a LOT of people had years ago, but with smart phones, you can access any music from apps and the internet. UA-cam, spotify, etc made it easier to get and listen to music then iTunes. Apple now has Apple Music which is iTunes replacement.
@@peppapigthekiller7539 wrong? What the hell are you on about. You are wrong pig.
10:47 in the same moment i got a notification, that Spotify was stopped.
why there is no iMovie update on iPhone? Even after iOS 10/11/12.. WHY???
History of Steve Wozniak?
I haven't watched the video yet.
I just clicked on it to say that I still use iTunes regularly. I don't like streaming my music when I don't have to because of my crappy cell service.
Just buy a new one. Whats ur problem?
Artem Kh crappy cell service
@@thickymcchicky6987 i got a crappy cell service as well. But it doesnt require that much. Like 100 kb per sec or smth. Just give it a try
Artem Kh I wasn’t saying I had crappy cell service I was saying that’s their problem was crappy cell service
I can’t just “get a new one” since I cant afford anything better right now
I thought this channel was

It went downhill once they started doing the iCloud stuff... lots of weird bugs after that. My music will occasionally duplicate itself at random at times and I absolutely hate it, or my music will just disappear sometimes, or it doesn't sync well with my car when I try to play it through my system... Idk man.
Spotify ruined the pop music charts, because it’s all rap music now.
How about just not listen to music?
When Apple got rid of the app backup feature in iTunes, iTunes became garbage. I used to use the app backup feature to restore my iPhone, or transfer the apps as they were from my iPhone 4 to iPhone 6. Now what can we do now?
The very first versions of iTunes actually didn't even have the store capability (like version 1.x and 2.x). It was used purely for organizing music and syncing the iPod when it came out.
