It only works on Apple devices. I use an iPhone but also a Windows PC. It’s extremely simple to not consider Apple Music if you don’t have all Apple devices. I hate that ultimatum of “use ONLY our products or have a subpar experience.”



It works on Android with an app and Windows in the browser. That being said, the subpar experience part is definitely something I agree with, and come to think of it, if I used Windows I probably wouldn't use Apple Music either.

EDIT: I'm pretty sure iTunes for Windows has Apple Music support actually: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210384


I've been using AM on Windows for years and years now. I want to say it's been there since inception but I'm not sure.


Might’ve been, but I think I recall it took them a couple of months.

Anyway, another factor in the decision could be that aside from Tidal, Apple Music pays the most to the actual artists per stream. Almost twice what Spotify pays, I believe.


Apple music works great for me on Android, and their web player is pretty good (especially compared to the "native" Music.app on macOS).


You can access Apple Music through iTunes on Windows.
