last year, apple released a new apple music app for windows users. the new version brings features and improvements consistent with the apple music experience on other platforms. while some key features were initially missing, apple has been steadily updating the app to add those features back.


a few months after launch, apple added support for local media keys and lyrics. earlier this year, they introduced favorite song playlists and manual equalizer controls. recently, apple released another update via the microsoft store that includes three new improvements.

this latest update finally brings collaborative playlists to apple music on windows. listeners can now invite friends to collaborate on playlists, allowing everyone to add songs, react to them and reorder them. additionally, album art can now be expanded to the entire screen for a more immersive listening experience. finally, the new "column browser" can help you quickly find songs in your music library.


to enjoy a full-screen lyrics experience, click the three-dot menu and select "play full screen," or use the ctrl+shift+f shortcut.

while these improvements are welcome, apple music for windows is still missing some key features, such as support for dolby atmos and verbatim lyrics. the app also has some bugs, such as inconsistent lock screen media controls. hopefully apple will prioritize fixing these bugs and improving performance before adding more features. despite its shortcomings, apple music on windows is steadily improving. with constant updates, it has the potential to become a truly competitive music streaming app on the platform.

you can download the latest apple music app for windows from the microsoft store. for new users of apple music, apple will provide a 1-month free trial. with an apple music subscription, you can access millions of songs and enjoy them online and offline. you can create your own playlists, stream and download lossless and dolby atmos music, get personalized music recommendations, see what your friends are listening to, follow your favorite artists, watch exclusive video content from these artists, and more.
