Now that Apple Music is out, you can stream millions of tracks from iTunes and listen to Beats 1, the service's 24-hour radio show.
There's a lot to digest in Apple Music, from the curated playlists to the Connect tab where artists can communicate directly with fans. Here are 9 tips and tricks to help you get the most out of your Apple Music experience.
Double tap to love genres and artistsWhen you first open Apple Music, you're given the option to pick which music genres and artists you like. Apple uses these picks to help present you with playlist suggestions.
You tap each bubble to like it and get more like it, but you can also double tap to love a bubble. So if you really like a certain artist or genre, double tap it to get similar recommendations.
Add more kinds of music you like after setting up Apple Music
Did you know you can add more kinds of music you like whenever you want in Apple Music? To refine your playlist recommendations even more, head on over to your account window at the top left of the screen.
Then go to "Choose Artists For You" and start tapping more bubbles!
Unfollow artists in Connect
When you first set up Apple Music, your account automatically follows artists on Connect if you've purchased their music in the iTunes Store. Connect is sort of like a social network that artists can use to "connect" with fans.
That can be nice, but chances are you don't want to be following some random artist you bought a single from five years ago. To unfollow artists, head over to the "Following" section of the account window.
Once you unfollow an artist, their content won't show up in the Connect section of Apple Music.
Claim your unique nickname
Another thing you should do in the account window is claim your @ nickname for Apple Music. You can also add a profile picture from your camera roll.
Your nickname is used for when you comment on anything an artist shares in Connect. So if you leave a comment on a video, everyone will see your @ nickname and photo.
Like tracks from the lock screen
It's easy to like tracks directly from the iPhone's lock screen. Liking songs helps improve the music Apple recommends to you.
