How is Apple Music: Interface, Artists, Downloads and More

All users who are within the Apple ecosystem have ever gone through using Apple Music. Either taking advantage of the free period they offer or paying the monthly subscription to carry out a test. But if this service is a mystery to you, in this article we tell you all the sections that we find in Apple Music to enjoy the best music.

First contact with Apple Music

When we first subscribe to Apple Music we see something that is not done in other apps. We refer to questions regarding our musical tastes to improve the recommendations that the service will make to us. This system is based on a series of bubbles that appear on the screen and that you can make bigger or smaller.

Within these bubbles you will see different musical genres such as pop, rock or others. The bigger the bubble, the more weight it will have a posteriori in the personalized recommendations, and you will even be able to eliminate them. In addition to these bubbles with musical genres, you will also come to another section focused on different artists of these genres that you have selected.

This is something that undoubtedly draws much attention to users because it allows you to have it in the ‘For you’ tab at the bottom of the interface. In this you will find a compilation of the songs that you may like the most according to the tastes that you have selected and also depending on the songs that you listen to.

Complete search engine

When you enter the Apple Music application, you surely want to search for a specific song. To do this we simply go to the bottom right and click on the magnifying glass icon. This search engine is extremely complete since we can search for the specific artist, the song and even the lyrics. If for some reason we only know a fragment of the song we can enter it and the system will recognize it.

Artist page

In the event that you are looking for a specific artist, you will see a page dedicated to him with all his songs. At first we will see a photo of the artist or the entire group with a play button that will automatically play all their songs in random order. Immediately afterwards you will have access to the last album they released followed by the top of songs. Like other services, you will have the 8 most famous songs of the artist or the group to be able to reproduce them and add them to the personal library.

Apple Music artista

If you continue downloading you will have all the albums in chronological order with access to all in the upper right corner. But you will not only be able to enjoy the albums, but also include the most important video clips. This means that you do not have to go to other services such as YouTube to view them since everything is summarized on the same page.

Finally you will have access to both singles, live albums and compilations . Clearly there is a very interesting organization on the artist pages that makes it much easier to navigate and discover new songs. This is supported by an interface that is very clean and does not end up saturating users at all. And at the end, for the most fans, you will see a small biography along with data on origin, formation or gender. If you want to listen to something similar, you will also see a section called ‘Similar artists’.

Song library

But it is not always comfortable having to go looking for the same artist to listen to his songs. That is why you will have at your disposal a personal library where you can store the songs or albums that you like the most. Here you enter the playlist , which are lists made by Apple itself, outsiders or yourself. In these lists you can include a mix of songs from different artists and title it ‘best Rock songs’, for example. In this way you can have your Apple Music library fully personalized.

To enter a song or album, simply search for the specific song in the search engine and you will see that a ‘+’ appears next to it. When you give it automatically it will appear reflected in the library that you can access from the tabs at the bottom of the application.

Apple Music album playlist

If you want to add a new music list, simply enter the ‘library’ section and then ‘Lists’. Here we will have the possibility to create a new list which we can personalize with a name, a description and even a photograph. Once this is done you will simply click on ‘Add music’ and you just have to search for the specific song you want to enter or choose from the library.

Apple Radio

One of the most interesting features that Apple Music has are radios. In this section you can listen to classic radio stations through TuneIn such as Cadena Ser or Cuarenta Principales. But apart from this you have access to the official Apple radio station called Beats1 where you can listen to current hits from around the world. The ‘problem’ is that this is a world radio so the announcer or speaker speaks only English. On the page dedicated to radio we can find the schedule of the different programs with their presenter and the topic to be discussed. In addition, Apple can boast of having exclusive contracts with many artists who exclusively release their songs on this service.

Apart from the traditional stations and Apple’s own, you have at your disposal the radio stations that are making the service of your favorite artist. In this you can have access to a mix of songs by an artist and related as if it were a radio station in which you do not control what is going to sound.

Player functions

The Apple Music player is extremely complete because it includes functions that allow us to add a song to the library in a very simple way and even transmit the sound to another external device. In case you want to be recommended songs like the one you listen to, or you just want to add it to the library, click on the three dots that appear on the right side. Here you will have access to:

  • Show album.
  • Add to library.
  • Add to a list.
  • See all the lyrics.
  • Create station.
  • I like.
  • Suggest less of this style.

Apple Music Reproductor

Something tremendously curious is that you will have access to all the lyrics of the song and follow it in real time as if it were karaoke. You will see this by clicking on the dialog box under the playback controls of a specific song.

Finally, it is possible to transmit the content of Apple Music that we are listening to other devices with AirPlay such as the HomePod. But not only can it be transferred from the application itself, but from the direct access of the control center it is also possible to make this shipment.

Download songs on Apple Music

If you are not always connected to the internet, or do not want to consume your data rate, it is always interesting to have a series of songs downloaded to your mobile phone. This is where the song lists both homemade and made by other people come in.

Apple Music Guardar Canciones

When you enter a playlist, next to the chosen cover image we will see a small cloud with an arrow looking down. By clicking on this icon you will see how the songs begin to download and can be played even if you have the mode in airplane mode.

And you, do you use Apple Music on a daily basis?
