Apple launches a public beta of Apple Music on the web, giving existing subscribers worldwide their first official way to stream music through a browser. Users access the service by visiting beta.music.apple.com and signing in with their Apple ID, fulfilling a high demand that an unofficial web app previously highlighted.
The web player includes core features such as full catalog search, playback of personal libraries, and playlist access. All main sections from the native app, including For You, Browse, and Radio, are present, while additional capabilities are scheduled to arrive as Apple continues to develop the platform.
This release is part of a broader strategy to make Apple Music accessible across all devices and operating systems, including Android, Windows, and smart speakers. Expanding to the web provides a crucial advantage as Apple competes for market share against industry leader Spotify and other major streaming services.
