While archrival Spotify is closing in on having 100 million paying subscribers around the world, Apple Music has been steadily closing the gap. For one thing, it’s pre-installed on every iPhone and iPad you buy (Android users can download it separately), and Apple offers a whopping 90-day free trial.

With Apple selling well over 200 million iPhones every year, that means a river of potential new customers are flowing in all the time. But Apple Music has a few quirks. For one, its emphasis on minimalist icons instead of text labels can mean a lot of trial-and-error before you figure out what certain buttons can and can’t do. Let us help you avoid some of the ensuing frustration with 5 tips and tricks for Apple Music.

Navigating your MP3s and Apple Music subscription content

If you’ve ever bought MP3s from Apple’s iTunes Music Store, those tunes are now included in your Apple Music subscription in streamable form (and downloadable for offline listening like any other Apple Music track). Just go to the Library tab, and your past purchases are all neatly sorted for you, with album cover art for easier identification.

With your streaming subscription, you can now download that whole collection of songs by tapping on the cloud icon with the downward-facing arrow, or you can tap on the three-dot menu for a variety of other options, like sharing a link or adding to a playlist; you can also tap “Love” or “Dislike” to help Apple personalize its recommendations. If you see a song with a star next to it, that just means that it’s popular among Apple Music users.>>>>>>>>>https://tricksmentor.com/2019/11/5-apple-music-tips-and-tricks-to-manage-your-tunes-like-a-dj/
