Apple Music boasts a library of over 100 million high-quality songs, but as a core service within the Apple ecosystem, it doesn't officially support Linux. Many Linux users, using Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, or other distributions, may be confused about how to stream Apple Music on Linux. This guide will cover two common methods for accessing and playing Apple Music on Linux.
The Apple Music web version (music.apple.com) is Apple's official cross-platform playback solution, compatible with all modern browsers, including Firefox, Chrome, and Chromium, which are commonly used on Linux systems.
Step 1Open your browser and visit https://music.apple.com.
Step 2Click "Sign In" in the top-right corner and log in with your Apple ID.
Step 3Once logged in, you can access your Apple Music library, playlists, albums, and more.
Step 4Supports basic playback, favorites, and search functions.
While the web version is the easiest way to stream music, many Linux users prefer to save their music offline and play it on a player when they're offline. Because Apple Music music is protected by DRM, it can't be downloaded directly as MP3 or FLAC. Professional tools like Sidify Apple Music Converter are required.
The tool requires Windows or macOS, but downloaded music can be easily copied to a Linux player or mobile device.
