Apple Music doesn't just work as streaming service. If you are out of range of the internet or don't want to use up your data limit, you can download your favorite songs to your device and enjoy music offline. Of course, you can download songs for listening without internet access on a computer, iPhone or iPad.
Apple Music offline on iPhone and iPad
On an iPhone or iPad in iOS 8.4, which brought Apple Music, just find a selected song or an entire album, click on the three dots that are next to each item and it will open a menu with several options. To download music for offline listening, select "Make available offline" and the song or even the entire album will be downloaded to the device's memory.
For clarity, an iPhone icon will appear for each such downloaded song. Manually created playlists can also be downloaded offline. The handy thing about playlists is that as soon as you make one of them available offline, every other song added to it is automatically downloaded.
To display all the music you have available offline - which you need especially in cases where you do not have access to the Internet - select the "My Music" tab, click on "Artists" under the row with the most recently added content and activate the last option "Show music available offline" ". At that point, you'll only find content stored on your iPhone or iPad in the Music app.
Apple Music offline on Mac or Windows in iTunes
Even easier is the process of downloading music for offline listening on computers. In iTunes on Mac or Windows, just click the cloud button on selected songs or albums and the music will be downloaded. To display only downloaded music on iTunes, just click View > Only Music Available Offline in the menu bar.
However, it's important to note that once you stop paying for Apple Music, you'll also lose access to your downloaded music.
Is it possible for the music that I add to "my music" to be downloaded automatically? I haven't figured out how to do it other than making a playlist, which is pretty awkward. Then what makes me unhappy that each device shows me different content "my music"
I solve it by having a smartplaylist that contains songs longer than 1 second and I have it set as available offline on my iPhone. The music is then automatically downloaded to it.
Must be enabled in iCloud music settings!
Obviously, you either ignored the message that popped up at you, or you didn't. I personally got a popup window with this info. So you should too. But then you don't have to mindlessly click through the tutorials and read what he writes to you!
When I turned on aMusic, it showed me almost every stupid thing, what, where, how, for what and you have to read it all and not click away!
haha you will be a good pin. You obviously didn't understand what I wrote. My problem is not downloading playlists or albums. But download individual tracks that I put in my music. Thanks to Marcel, I'll check it out.
Well, you probably didn't understand me again KOLIKA. He wrote: "Then what makes me unhappy is that each device shows me different content "my music""
To this my answer was PIN!
That's not true either. I've had it active since the beginning. I solved it by disabling music on the device and re-enabling it.
Luckily it worked for me. However, I resolved Continuity between devices by reactivation.
It's probably clear to everyone except me, but I'll ask to be sure... What about my music that I have 1) purchased 2) matched via iTunes match? If I stop paying Apple, will I keep what I had before in Music? And if I buy new songs, will they also stay with me?
The songs that you have bought remain with you. You paid for them and they have no reason to delete them. I don't know about iMatch because I don't use it. According to what I caught, should match and music be linked or not?
Well, I stopped paying for Match about a year ago, and as soon as I activated Music, the entire library I had on Match came crashing down on me. I was totally pissed off, because I thought she had nothing to do there anymore (I stopped paying).
Hi, I have a question. How come I have to add the first song to "my music" and then to the playlist? If I don't have the song in my music and I click on the three dots and there I click on add to playlist, it doesn't appear in that playlist and I'm fed up with it. The same thing, when I bought an album on itunes, I made it available offline, the brand of the mobile phone shows up, but when I turn off the net, I don't have the album there :/.
mark the song in question, I think it's highlighted in blue. After that, the option to add to the playlist will jump there.
I guess you misunderstood me. I have the option to add it to the playlist, but when I do that, I don't have the song in the playlist. I have to put the song in "My Music" first and then add it to the playlist.
Hi, I'm curious, there's one thing I've noticed, and that's that when I listen to offline music, it still plays the offline music from the Internet... For example, spotify has an offline mode in the settings.... I didn't notice this with Apple Music... I'm not interested in listening to offline music that is downloaded from the Internet and at the same time using up the mobile battery and the Internet on the mobile... And because of that, for example, turning off the mobile Internet... Thanks for the info
Hello everyone. I have a little problem. Since the update to iOS 8.4 and the related arrival of Apple Music, which I currently have for 3 months for free, I can't use the Drag & Drop system to copy music from the hard drive to the iPhone. It says that the file could not be copied because I have an iCloud photo library turned on. I went through the settings and nothing seems logically set wrong. Does anyone know what to do with it? I want to still have music on my iPhone that I have on my HDD and can't find on Apple Music. Thanks a lot
