You can cancel the auto-renewal by tapping the person icon at the top left, tapping "View Apple ID" and tapping "Manage" under the Subscriptions header. Apple will charge whatever credit or debit card you have on file with your Apple ID, which you would already have provided if you've ever purchased or downloaded something from iTunes. After that, you'll be charged $10 per month unless you cancel.

When you sign up for Apple Music, you get a free three month free trial with full access to all of the features. This is different from Spotify, which has a free, ad-supported offering, albeit with significant restrictions of what you can play on desktop and mobile. There is also a free version of Apple Music, but you can only use it to play music you've purchased from iTunes, listen to Beats 1 and play radio stations with ads. And because this is software, not hardware, we expect to see changes, fixes and potential improvements in Apple Music at some point in the future.Įditors' note, October 2, 2015: This review has been updated to include details about the service after the end of the initial three month free trial. But with its generous 3-month free trial period, Apple Music is certainly worth an audition. Those issues keep Apple Music from being a hands-down Spotify-killer at launch. Longtime users know that iTunes Match never worked perfectly, and the ghosts of those problems continue to haunt Apple Music users who want to bring several-thousand-strong music libraries into the cloud so they can fill in the gaps missing from Apple Music's streaming catalog, which still has notable holdouts like The Beatles and Prince. The service also has some major problems with its integration of users' personal music collections. And it's got a surprising, refreshing reliance on real people, from the music editors whose entire job is to create playlists and pick out music for you in the app, to the live DJs on Beats 1, the 24/7 radio station integrated into the app.īut with all of those features jammed into one app, Apple Music falls short on navigation and user interface - which is something of a surprise, given Apple's longtime focus on superior design. Apple Music gets a lot right - a massive music catalog, great voice control integration from virtual assistant Siri, and good cross-platform support.
And it also folds in elements of Beats Music, the streaming service it acquired along with the rest of the Beats headphone empire in 2014. It incorporates elements of the earlier free iTunes Radio service (still present, and still free) as well as iTunes Match (still problematic), and even a nod to Ping, Apple's failed social music experiment that folded in 2012. The Apple Music app is the default music player on iPod Touch units, iPhones and iPads. The result is a grand coalition of a cloud-based on-demand streaming service comprised of 30 million tracks, your existing iTunes music library, and an all-live worldwide radio station and - all living in one master app. Apple Music, the iPhone giant's take on a subscription music service, has one goal: To push aside the likes of Rdio, Pandora, Slacker and - especially - Spotify to be a one-stop destination for all things music.
