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.
