Subscribing users will also gain access to Apple Music original shows, concerts, and exclusives, as well as personalized recommendations.

Apple Music is available as a $9.99 per month subscription and as part of the Apple One bundle. A free trial is offered for new customers and music lovers can play audio back on a range of devices, often including support for lossless and spatial audio.
