Apple Music

Apple Music is a streaming service that allows you to listen to over 90 million songs. Its features include the ability to download your favorite tracks and play them offline, lyrics in real time, listening across all your favorite devices, new music personalized just for you, curated playlists from our editors, and much more. All this in addition to exclusive and original content. Your iTunes library is still yours. You can access your entire collection from Apple Music or from iTunes for macOS or Windows.

Apple Music is already on your iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Mac — and you can listen online at music.apple.com. Apple Music is also available on Windows and Android devices, and more.

That all depends on which offer you choose. (1) Students can choose the Apple Music Student Plan at $2.49 per month. (2) An individual monthly subscription is just $5.49 per month after your free trial. (3) The Apple Music Family Plan, which allows you to share your account with up to five people and gives each member a personal account, is just $8.99 per month.

Dolby Atmos is an audio technology that creates an immersive listening experience in which sound comes from all around you.

Apple Music subscribers using the latest version of Apple Music on iPhone, iPad, and Mac can listen to thousands of Dolby Atmos music tracks using any headphones. When you listen with compatible Apple or Beats headphones, Dolby Atmos music plays back automatically when available for a song. For other headphones, go to Settings > Music > Audio and set Dolby Atmos to Always On. You can also hear Dolby Atmos music using the built‑in speakers on a compatible iPhone, iPad, MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, or iMac.

Lossless audio compression reduces the original file size of a song while preserving all of the data perfectly. Apple Music is making its entire catalog of more than 90 million songs available in lossless audio at different resolutions. In Apple Music, “Lossless” refers to lossless audio up to 48kHz, and “Hi-Res Lossless” refers to lossless audio from 48kHz to 192kHz. Lossless and Hi-Res Lossless files are very large and use much more bandwidth and storage space than standard AAC files. Lossless audio is not available with the Apple Music Voice Plan.

You can listen to lossless audio using the latest Apple Music app on an iPhone, iPad, or Mac. Turn on lossless audio in Settings > Music > Audio Quality. You can choose between Lossless and Hi-Res Lossless for cellular or Wi-Fi connections. Note that Hi-Res Lossless requires external equipment such as a USB digital to analog converter.
