Much like TV and movies, streaming revolutionized music as well, with Spotify and Apple Music reigning supreme today. Although Apple Music is no longer the more popular of the two, it still boasts 78 million subscribers as of Q2 2021.
The music All of the tracks in the 90 million-plus Apple Music catalog use the AAC format, a compressed, lossy file type that has significant technical advantages over the similar but older MP3. While these AAC files are good quality for most people, they’re not considered hi-res, nor are they lossless, which means that, in theory, they won’t sound as good as CD quality.
Before you dig in too deeply, we recommend turning off the auto-renewal following the trial period, unless, of course, Apple blows you away with its offering. As with services like Spotify, once you add a track or album to your library from Apple Music, you’ll see a cloud-plus-down-arrow icon that lets you download them for offline listening . Want to avoid any music that requires streaming, perhaps to save on your mobile data usage or for a red eye flight? The Downloaded Music section of the library will show you just the tunes that are physically stored on your device.
Listen Now Previously known as For You before the iOS 14 update, Listen Now is more or less the same idea — offering music suggestions based on your likes and your listening habits. When you first enter, you’ll be presented with a series of questions and selections that help you designate your musical tastes, starting with genres like rock, classic rock, jazz, and hip-hop. Nothing you do here is permanent; you can change it at any time.
You will start to notice that Apple Music tends to double up on the names that it likes. For instance, within the Hit the Gym playlist group, we found a 50-song playlist called Pop Workout. And yet, that’s also the name of an Apple Music radio station, which features much of the same content.Radio Included with your Apple Music subscription is access to Apple Music 1, the company’s livestreaming radio station staffed by expert music DJs.
The only way to access them is via the Search tab. You can’t browse them by genre or location, and even when you find one you like, there’s no way to favorite it for quick access later. If your device is Siri-equipped, like an iPhone or HomePod, you can ask Siri to play one of these radio stations by name. The best way to handle that is to Google some cool radio stations and see if any of them turn up on Apple Music.
