Listen to Apple Music Online

You can listen to your favorite songs with the Apple Music Player in any browser, not just on iPhone and iPad.

2. Enter the Apple ID and password for your Apple Music subscription. Hit Enter or the arrow to the right of your password.

   
   

3. For two-factor authentication, have your Apple device handy. Enter the code you receive on that device and into the prompt in your browser.

   
   

4. If you are asked to trust your browser, click Trust. If you change your mind, you can click Not Now or Don’t Trust.

   
   

5. Once you’re logged in, you’ll see the navigation on the left. So you can jump to your Library or a Playlist. You can also check out Listen Now, Browse, and Radio.

   
   

When you finish with the Apple Music Player, you can sign out by clicking your profile photo or initials on the top right and selecting Sign Out.

Listen to Apple Music in iTunes

With iTunes on Windows, you can listen to your favorite Apple Music songs, browse for something new, or put on a radio station. 

1. Open iTunes and sign in if necessary. You can do this by clicking Account > Sign In from the menu bar. Enter your Apple ID and password and click Sign In.

   
   

2. On the top left, choose Music in the pull-down box. Then, click Browse at the top center.

   
   

3. The first time you sign in to Apple Music on iTunes, you may receive a pop-up message advertising Apple Music. Click Already a subscriber.

   
   

4. Enter the Apple ID and password for your Apple Music subscription and click Sign In.

   
   

5. The software will ask if you’d like to merge your library with the iCloud Music Library—click Merge Library or Not Now per your preference.

   
   

6. You will then see the Welcome to Apple Music screen with an overview of what you can do with your subscription. Click Continue.

   
   

After you sign in to your Apple Music subscription in iTunes the first time, you won’t have to go through these steps each time. You can log in with your Apple ID and password if you happen to log out when you close the application each time.
