Dan Pražák Apple Music and Spotify are similar in many ways. However, the streaming service from Apple lacked an official web player that could be used on platforms such as Linux, ChromeOS or simply where iTunes is not installed. Even Apple itself was aware of this shortcoming and that is why it is now launching a web version of Apple Music.
Although it is still a beta version, it is already a fully functional website with everything you need. Logging in takes place via Apple ID as standard, and after successful verification, all saved content will be displayed just like on a Mac, iPhone or iPad.
The site's user interface is directly based on the new Music application on macOS Catalina and has a simple design. There is also a division into three basic sections "For You", "Browse" and "Radio". A user's library can be viewed by songs, albums, artists or recently added content.
This is what Apple Music looks like on the web:

The web version of Apple Music has only a few minor flaws for now. For example, there is no option to register for the service via the page, and therefore for the time being it is necessary to perform this action in iTunes or in an application on an iPhone or iPad. I also noticed the absence of dynamic playlists, which are not displayed at all, and there is not yet a translation into the Czech language. However, Apple will require feedback from users during testing so that it can eliminate all bugs and imperfections as quickly as possible.
The web version makes Apple Music available on virtually any device with a web browser. Users of Linux or Chrome OS, for example, will now have easy access to the service. Of course, it can also be used by Windows users who do not want to install iTunes on their computers or who want to use a more modern look of the service.
You can try web Apple Music on the page beta.music.apple.com.
