How to get a free Apple Music subscription

Apple Music has been one of the most talked-about topics recently after revealing the Top 10 of its Best 100 Albums of all time list. This list, curated by Apple Music experts with input from songwriters, artists, producers, and industry professionals, has sparked a lot of discussion, as any Top 10 or Best 100 list is meant to do. All the albums on the Best 100 Albums list are available to be listened to on Apple Music.

Apple Music has come a long way from its iTunes days, where people used to sync their iPods with their music libraries to carry around their music. Launched in 2015, Apple Music is Apple’s streaming music service. It allows you to stream music from your Apple devices like your iPhone or iPad for a monthly fee. While you can still listen to songs you purchased on iTunes through Apple Music, additional music streaming through the service comes at a cost.

There are advantages to paying for Apple Music. You can enjoy high-quality lossless music and have access to millions of songs whenever you want. However, there are ways to enjoy Apple Music for free. If you prefer not to pay for the service, here’s how you can enjoy it without any cost. Keep in mind that these free options are not permanent.

How to get Apple Music for free

Start with one month

Anyone can enjoy Apple Music for free for one month right from the start. This is the current offer provided by Apple, available to both new and previous Apple Music users. Simply opening Apple Music on your iPhone or MacBook will reveal this promotional offer.

During this one-month free trial, you can enjoy listening to Apple Music on all your devices without any charges. While this may not seem like a significant deal to some, it’s a great opportunity for those who have never tried Apple Music before and want to explore its features and versatility.
