iTunes - novità per il tuo artista/avvisa me
iTunes - novità per il tuo artista/avvisa me
Hello all.
I use iTunes on Windows for collecting and playing my music.
Ever since April 2020, the 'New From Your Artist' feature at the bottom of the iTunes Store has not been working. New albums from both new artists I follow and artists that have had new albums show in this section in the past, simply do not show anymore. The latest one showing remains to be back from April 2020. Subsequently, the 'Alert Me' feature in the iTunes Store 'Account' section does not seem to function anymore either. This feature allows you to not only have new albums/singles from the artists you follow show in the 'New From Your Artist' section of the iTunes Store, but is also supposed to send you an email notification when new music is released if the option is enabled, which also hasn't happened since 2020.
I had this issue on two different computers now.
Things I've already tried:
Reinstalled iTunes, first from Apple.com, then from the Windows Store
Rebuilt my iTunes library
Consolidated library
Logged out of the iTunes Store and logged back in
Verified that my computer is authorized to play music from my account
Spoke with Apple tech support (they also couldn't find a fix)
I was wondering if it is a system wide issue that is affecting everyone, or if it isn't and someone may have found a fix for it.
Thank you.
I believe Windows and iTunes/Apple aren't functioning well together. Verify that iTunes has the right email address for notifications and ensure there are no issues with those emails. Also confirm the artist listings you follow are still accurate. Take into account any new restrictions on new releases—details about who, why, when, etc., are still unknown. I recommend bookmarking relevant artist sites or other sources that might share updates on new releases. Direct links only. Don't depend on third parties like Microsoft or Apple to keep you informed.
My thoughts match completely. Apple swapped iTunes for a fresh 'Music' app on Mac and handed over the iTunes install to Microsoft and the Windows Store for additional downloads and improvements. It wouldn't be surprising if the problem lies with them and not enough attention is being paid for their side.
I verified my email address and artist list were accurate. I also checked that my anti-virus and Windows firewall treated iTunes and my library as exceptions.
Bookmarks are a useful feature. Recently, I've been browsing the 'New Music' section each weekend, which helps me discover new tracks from artists I follow, though it consumes a lot of time.
Thank you for your assistance nonetheless.
