What it does
Apple Music offers subscription music listening, personalised recommendations, collaborative playlists and live artist programming.
Album listeners can keep a library while using artist interviews and radio to branch out. Apple Music runs on the web and listed Apple, Windows and Android devices. Hi-Res Lossless requires external equipment such as a USB digital-to-analogue converter; supported hardware also determines Spatial Audio playback.
Check Apple’s country matrix and the feature’s own conditions. Collaborative playlists exclude accounts under 13 and some listed countries, and the US English Playlist Playground beta has narrower eligibility than the main music service.
