So, if you’ve made the choice to grab an Apple Music subscription, but you’re not sure where to go to get one, read on. We’ll break down all the most important details for a first-time Apple Music subscriber to know when they sign up for an account!

Everything you need to know about signing up for Apple Music

What is Apple Music?

Apple Music is a music streaming service with a library of over 100 million songs. It’s a subscription-only service, so unlike Spotify, there’s no ad-supported free tier to take advantage of. While that may disappoint some readers, Apple Music comes with great features like lossless audio, the ability to upload hundreds of thousands of personal songs to its iCloud Music Library, and original programming that can’t be found anywhere else.

How much are Apple Music plans?
