Become a Music genius – we show you how!
The Music app for Mac is packed with all kinds of features, which can make it tricky to get your head around. It not only offers multiple ways to view your personal music library, but also includes the iTunes Music Store (where you can make music purchases) and Apple Music; and 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 singalong to the real-time lyrics being presented onscreen.
Then there’s iCloud Music Library (see p26), 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 £21.99/year).
