Collecting music has brought me more joy than any other tool. Music is my best friend and companion when I’m lonely. Music unites me with others in a way that words cannot express. When something bad happens in my life (and hard times always do) then the music is there to remind that life goes in waves and this wave will pass. When I’m happy the music is there to dance with me. When I’m feeling relaxed the music is there to share the creativity. When my family or kindred spirits get together the music can unite multiple generations in common heritage to each other, gives us roots no matter our religion, spirituality, politics. We can always find music to unite us and help express what is inside us. I tried drinking, smoking, gambling, etc, and those never brought me the happiness that music dose. Thanks to music I’m healthier than most and I have more money to spend on more music for good times. We can even use music to express our humor as we’re acting silly and goofy without embarrassment. Thanks to music my life is rich and wonderful through good times and bad. Music helps us understand people from distant lands and cultures in a way that just traveling there cannot do. If you look at me you can’t see what’s inside of me but when I select music together with you then you learn the beauty inside of me, we connect in a way we could not without music. Thank you to companies that still sell music for me to access when I like, always available. So thank you Apple iTunes!

iTunes store’s format allows me buy lots of Japanese soundtrack albums that would otherwise take time to find copies of and expense to import physically to my home country, and I save again by purchasing only my favorite tracks and having them on my mobile that I have with me everywhere.The store in iOS isn’t the easiest to search results, however: when looking at artist’s albums, I did not find any feature to order the albums by release date or alphabetically, to search within those results, or to bookmark or “wishlist” tracks, albums, or artists to buy from later. Though I can click to an album or artist from music I have already bought, it doesn’t help me when I have not bought anything from them yet. If I have overlooked it, it is hidden.I hope that the store will be an asset to artists and their audiences through its transparency and ease of use.

They steal your music. I paid for a song awhile ago. Took it off my device because of space reasoning. Went to download it again. Saw that it said purchased and download would be free. But they charged me. I contacted apple support with the receipt number of both purchases and they said they had no record of the purchase. On top of that earlier this year I had bought iTunes gift card that was sealed but when I went to use it, it said it was already redeemed. Apple support said there was nothing they can do about it since the funds were already used. Even though they did they could see who stole my account funds (at least the Apple ID of said person) I can see them not giving me the id but apple just let them keep my funds? Of course why do they care? Apple got paid. I’m fed up. I have a few more artists that I had already planned to buy from so I will finish those purchases because why should I punish them for something apple did? And I like my artist’s music on one platform. But any new artist I start stanning. I’m definitely not purchasing from iTunes anymore. Such a shame the service used to be good. And you know what? I don’t care about the money I lost being tricked into purchasing songs two or three times. I will call that bygones if they would just let me download the songs I paid for. I can even forgive them for not being able to do anything about stolen funds (I think they are lying but I would still use them to buy more music for the next five years if they let me have the music I had already boughtPS for what it is worth I would still recommend iBooks and appletv .

Shopping for movies and TV shows has become a complete and utter disaster. My shopping experience with app Tv app is so horrible. Now you can’t filter or decipher between the movies and TV shows any longer. They’re all lumped in together and you have to dig through them like a big five dollar bin. They are more movies, movie specials and movie selections in the store now then there are TV shows, you literally have to search for each individual TV show that you’re looking for because chances are it’s not just going to be out there in the store any longer. No more wishlist, for those shows your keeping your eye on! The store is mainly made up of movies and movie deals and within those deals you’ll See season passes, top charting TV shows but outside of that there’s no dedicated page for just television shows anymore. They’re all lumped in together. This has made the shopping experience with Apple so frustrating. Irritating and time-consuming. Used to be a quick easy experience now you pretty much have to bunker in to dig through the bin of everything cram together. I personally enjoyed the division between movies and TV shows in the iTunes Store. I mean you guys even offered division in the wishlist, for the beginning! Please fix this issue for all of us who love shopping with Apple 🙏🏾.
