Where is the 'Alert Me' option in iTunes 11?

No, AlbumReminder doesn't know when you've added something to iTunes. I've just made it part of my workflow—if I add an artist to iTunes then I add them to AlbumReminder as well.

You can import your iTunes Library xml file to auto add all of your artists so I suppose you could re-import that files at certain times to catch any new additions. That would not work for me because out of 1 TB of music I have a lot of artists in my library that I don't care about following. I think it's easier to simply add artists as you add them to itunes. Takes a few seconds per artist.

But I must say AlbumReminder fuctions far more reliably than iTunes Artist Alerts ever did. I just received a notice at 10:45 am for a album that released yesterday. I rarely received iTunes alerts and if I did they were not particularly timely.

No no, you misunderstood. I'll try to explain it better.

Ke$ha's EP "Deconstructed" came out November 2012. However, iTunes didn't have it until February 2013. I just found out iTunes had it April 2013. This being because iTunes Alerts is no longer working as of ITunes 11, which means Ke$ha isn't even on my alerts, if that even mattered.. So, Album Reminder probably won't do me much good unless it would have told me back in February that the album was now available on iTunes, or does it tell you specifically that an album is on iTunes? Because if I really care about an artist, I know via their Facebook page long before an album comes out the date its coming out. What matters to me as far as "alerts" go is when is iTunes getting it, if not on the CD street date.

Hi guys ... found the answer.

Enable Genius (through your iTunes account) and also iTunes Match ... and the Alert Me feature now appears.

Really? Alert me requires the iTunes MATCH now? That's a paid service and completely unnecessary for me when I can just rip my old CDs.

I have Enable Genius on as well as iTunes Match, and no dice, still can't add any artists alerts. As others have said, all I can do is remove the ones I already have. Very frustrating. I'm waiting for Is Tropical's new album to appear in the US iTunes store and wanted to set up an alert, urgh!

Hi! I found other method to get alerts about your favourite artists in iTunes.

I recommend you check out free app in iTunes: Alerter http://alerterapp.mobi/download

You can easy subscribe and get push notifications when new content will be available on iTunes. I've already used it and it's pretty cool. Now I never miss new releases on iTunes :-)

it sounds like a good app, but it's now $3. what the f!

itunes just needs to bring back the Alert Me feature.

I am also a loyal but frustrated iTunes user still reeling about not been able to have multiple window open.

Anyway...

I was confused and disillusioned for months regarding "Alert Me", BUT IT IS STILL THERE, HIDDEN, and here is the solution...

Go to iTunes store...

Select the artist you want alerts for, then if you look below the 'Library' tab, there's a black arrow pointing to the right...

you will know what to do from there... And continue as normal.

Enjoy 😉

THANK YOU!!! That is exactly what I was looking for. So glad it's still there. Also, I might add it's not directly under the Library link depending on your screen's resolution. For those interested, below is what the icon looks like, it's similar to the logo when you want to share a post/article on FB, etc.

Thanks,

Check it out: Alerter http://alerterapp.mobi/download is free now =)

You can easy to get notification from your favorite artists in iTunes.

Woops.. I just emailed Apple about brining this feature back and filled out one of those improvement surveys.. Haha. Well at least this way they will know people really like it.

I’ve found it. The “my alerts” link was on the top right of
the iTunes home page. It was moved and is now above “Genius Recommendations” on
the center of the iTunes home page and is now called “New from Your Artists”
