Apple Music On the Web Exits Beta

The web-based Apple Music experience that launched in beta last September is now available at music.apple.com. MacRumors reports: The previous beta.music.apple.com address automatically forwards to the newly launched version. Once you're signed into the web version of Apple Music with your Apple ID that has an associated Apple Music subscription, you'll have access to all of your library and playlist content, as well as the same personal mixes and recommendations you'll see in the Music apps for iOS, Mac, and Android. Apple Music content plays right in the web browser, providing access for an array of devices and platforms that don't have native Music app support, include Windows 10, Linux, and Chrome OS.

Amazon has had this for a few years now, a website offering your music collection. Prime members get a limited collection, including everything you ever bought from Amazon or things Amazon bought like CDNow. For an extra fee, you get a large collection to play, similar to other offerings from the other brands.

On the other hand, maybe this will get used?

While it's great they have had that, how many people actually use it?

I've had Prime forever, and have maybe used the Amazon music site once.

Meanwhile there are a lot of people who have Apple Music subscriptions, who would probably be happy not to open iTunes just to play music... so I think the Apple web

That doesn't sound like a good reason though "People would more likely use the web site as my comment indicates that their player app is horrible". Maybe instead of making a website, they should have invested in the iTunes app, and give the user a reason to prefer the app over a web site?

But can you add your own mp3 files?

I've been a Spotify user for many years, but I'm trying Apple Music due to the fact you can upload your own music library (mp3).
I'm kinda annoyed with Spotify suddenly removing albums or songs. Some of them I already have at home on CD and mp3 format, but can't listen to on the go because Spotify are not allowed to stream them.

So I'm seriously considering going back to owning music, but of course still use streaming for discovering new music.
Apple Music seems to be combining these two options pretty we

Try Bandcamp instead

A lot of big artists are releasing their entire discography, lots of underground music, and usually better than what the big ones release. Many people also release their music for free, or allow you to pay whatever you want. And you can get flac / alac / wav if you want. Great articles too. I buy 90% of my music through bandcamp, the rest is 7digital, for big artists. It's usually also half the price of what an album on other major outlets take for the same record. It's a win-win solution. 70% goes to the m

I've actually used Bandcamp for a while, but I should probably spend more time there. Thanks for reminding me :)
I get music from many sources. Sometimes I even purchase CDs which I rip to flac.

My point was that I think I prefer to own my music and then use Apple Music to easily stream it to other devices (phones, PCs, Macs, Sonos, etc). Also nice to have a streaming service for listening to things I shazam during a day.

Impressive
