    Other iTunes being weird with my music

    Hey everyone, I have a 4th gen iPod shuffle that is replacing my old cd player. When I transferred all of my cds (using iTunes on my Windows 10 PC) it made them into heavily duplicated audiobooks. I don’t care if it calls them audiobooks, but the repetition is driving me insane. Is there a solution?

    Retroactive iTunes install on Ventura on an Intel Mac?

    I’m using iTunes (installed via retroactive) and am running Monterey on my iMac.

    Apple Music Alternative/classic iTunes reboot?

    Apple Music is a mess. All of my albums have the wrong cover art on the mac and the phone, the interface is inscrutable and unwieldy. The subscription model is a dead end for artists, and I just want the functionality of classic iTunes. I've downloaded Museeks, but I'm really looking for a...

    New Trailers website look
