Become a Music genius — we show you how!
The Music app for Mac is packed with a host of handy features, some of which may initially be tricky to get your head around. It not only offers multiple ways to view your personal music library, but also includes the iTunes Store (where you can make music purchases), and Apple Music. Apple’s paid–for streaming service also throws a whole range of other options into the mix, from live music stations to Apple Music Sing — Apple’s hot take on karaoke, which enables you to mute or reduce vocals during playback, while you sing along to the real–time lyrics onscreen.
Then there’s Sync Library (see p18), which takes almost all the music you’ve imported or purchased and makes it available in the cloud — either as part of an Apple Music subscription, or as part of iTunes Match (which costs $24.99/year).
