For folks on Windows/Linux that want to use Apple Music but not the web player, try Cider (https://github.com/ciderapp/Cider).

Yes, it is Electron but Apple did use webviews in their macOS AM app as well before they switched back to native earlier this year; which still isn't that great.

Ironically, Cider works better than the Apple's web app as well; it doesn't skip or get stuck once in a while. It just works for what I need.

(In case other asks, Windows/Linux is more of a work/secondary platform, and iPhone is the main device most of the time. That's why I'd use Apple Music despite having the other platforms).



I'll second this; I've been trialing Apple Music side by side with Spotify for the last few months, and Cider has been very usable on both Linux and Windows.

If only the Android app weren't such a mess...


Honestly, even on the Mac I prefer using Cider to the actual Apple Music app.
