How Do I Use Apple Music on a Mac?
Accessing and using Apple Music on your Mac is straightforward. It’s preinstalled on Macs with macOS Catalina or later. Here’s how it works.
How Do I Download My Previous iTunes Purchases?
To replace iTunes files you may have lost or deleted, or if you don’t want to sync devices, you can download previous iTunes purchases on your computer.
How Do I Import Music Into Apple Music?
You may have songs or music video files on your computer you’d like to add to your music library. Here’s how to import these files.
What Is Apple Music?
Apple Music is the successor to iTunes. Apple Music is also a streaming music service similar to Spotify. You can use Apple Music for free to listen to any music you previously bought via iTunes, sync music from your computer, and listen to Apple 1, a free Apple radio station. However, to purchase new music and take advantage of Apple Music’s streaming capabilities, you’ll need an Apple Music subscription. An Individual plan is $10.99 per month or $109 a year, while a Family Plan is $16.99 monthly
What Happened to iTunes?
With the launch of macOS Catalina, Apple replaced iTunes with dedicated music (Apple Music), video (Apple TV), podcast (Apple Podcasts), and audiobook (Apple Books) apps. You can access any previous iTunes purchases through these apps, as these apps pull content from your iTunes libraries. These apps come preinstalled on your Mac if you have macOS Catalina or later, so you don’t need to download them. If you have a Windows PC, you’ll use iTunes for Windows to manage your music and media libraries.
