Subscribe to Apple Music using iTunes on PC
Apple Music is an ad-free streaming music service that lets you listen to millions of songs from the Apple Music catalogue in addition to your iTunes library. As a subscriber, you can listen any time — online or off — create your own playlists, stream and download audio files, get personalised recommendations, see music your friends are listening to, watch exclusive video content and more.
You can subscribe to Apple Music or to Apple One, which includes Apple Music and other Apple services. See the Apple Support article Bundle Apple subscriptions with Apple One.
Note: Apple Music and Apple One aren’t available in all countries or regions. See the Apple Support article Availability of Apple Media Services.
Subscribe to Apple Music
Go to the iTunes app on your PC.
Choose Account > Sign In, then sign in with your Apple ID.
If you don’t have an Apple ID (or Apple Account), you can create one during setup.
Choose Music from the pop-up menu at the top left, then click For You.
If you can’t see Music in the pop-up menu, you need to use the Apple Music app you installed on your device. See the Apple Music User Guide for Windows for more details.
Click Try it Now, then follow the on-screen instructions.
About your Apple Music subscription
After you become an Apple Music subscriber, you can:
Stream recommended songs on up to 10 computers and devices
Download songs so that you can listen to them even when you’re not online
Play Apple Music radio — stations created by experts that you can listen to all day
Create an Apple Music profile and then share music with friends; you can also find and follow friends to see what they’re listening to
Customise your Apple Music settings, such as notifications
Note: Any items in your iTunes library that aren’t available in Apple Music are automatically uploaded to iCloud, so you can access them from your other computers and devices.
Even if you don’t subscribe to Apple Music, you can purchase items from the iTunes Store and add music to your library. To learn how to add other content to iTunes, see How to add items.
Cancel or change your Apple Music subscription
Go to the iTunes app on your PC.
Choose Account > View My Account, then sign in.
In the Settings section, click Manage next to Subscriptions.
Click Edit next to Apple Music or Apple One, then do one of the following:
Cancel: Click Cancel Subscription, then follow the on-screen instructions.
Change: Choose another plan or click Choose Individual Services, then follow the onscreen instructions.
Share Apple Music
When you subscribe to Apple Music or Apple One, you can use Family Sharing to share Apple Music with up to five other family members. Your family group members don’t need to do anything — Apple Music is available to them the first time they open iTunes after your family subscription begins.
Note: To use Family Sharing, you need an Apple ID (or Apple Account) and you must be part of a family group, either as the organiser or an invited family member. To share Apple Music through Family Sharing, someone in the group must have a family subscription — as opposed to an individual subscription — to Apple Music or Apple One.
If you join a family group that subscribes to Apple Music or Apple One with a family subscription and you already subscribe, your subscription isn’t renewed on your next billing date; instead, you use the group’s subscription. If you join a family group that doesn’t subscribe and you have a family subscription, the group uses your subscription. If neither you nor the family group has a family subscription, you can upgrade your account.
Note: To stop sharing Apple Music with a family group, you can cancel your subscription, leave the family group, or (if you’re the family group organiser) stop using Family Sharing.
See the Apple Support article What is Family Sharing? or visit the Family Sharing website.
