Apple Music
As an Apple Music member you can listen to dozens of hand-curated ad-free radio stations
and create your own stations, all with unlimited skips. You can also access millions of songs
for streaming and offline play, receive recommendations from music experts and artists, share
playlists among friends, and enjoy content posted directly by artists.
Just like nonmembers, you can also listen to music stored on iPhone, access iTunes purchases
available through Family Sharing, stream previous iTunes purchases to iPhone, and listen to
Beats 1 radio. (You can also play tracks identified by iTunes Match if you have an iTunes Match
subscription.)
You can join Apple Music when you first open Music. Or go to Settings > Music > Join
Apple Music.
Note: You can play Apple Music and Radio tracks on only one device at a time unless you have
an Apple Music Family Membership, which lets you play music on multiple devices.
