The browser-based music player works perfectly fine, allowing you to search for and play music with ease. I would also love to see a shortcut to add songs to your library over album art or next to ‘Now Playing’ tracks for quick addition to your collection.Īpple Music on the web has been launched with only a ‘core set of features’ in public beta. I hope the web app will gain this feature in the coming weeks. I know this beta has just arrived but the lack of playlists from the get-go feels awkward to me. The Spotify web app feels a bit slower as compared to Apple Music, but the former comes equipped with one feature that’s currently lacking in the latter – playlists. There’s no setting option at the moment, so you won’t be able to tweak anything. The ‘Now Playing’ tracks, along with shuffle, repeat, and queue features are shown up top – like it always has since the iTunes days.

Apart from Browse, you get access to For You, Radio, and your library from the left pane. I haven’t listened to enough music to see how good the recommendation algos are, but the web app is well-designed. The web app opens up with the ‘browse’ section front and center, recommending you all the latest albums, tracks, and curated playlists. But there’s a feature that I’ve found to be quite handy – the web app switches between the light and dark mode based on your Mac’s theme (which is the device I tested the app on). The interface looks exactly like the new Music app on macOS Catalina. The Apple Music web app is pretty clean, but barebones at the same time.

And, here’s what I think about the beta experience: The timing of Apple Music’s web app launch was perfect as I instantly picked up a new subscription and have been using the streaming app for a day now. So, I had been meaning to switch to a new two music streaming app regime, with Apple Music as my secondary streaming app, for quite some time now.

Well, I have recently got into K-pop music and my Spotify is now flooded with recommendations for the same.

Apple has now further expanded beyond the confines of iTunes, with a beta web player available for the subscribers to test out. Apple Music is now available inside your browser.
