ChatGPT is being expanded step by step with new features, bringing it ever closer to everyday use cases. One of the latest additions is the integration of Apple Music. This transforms ChatGPT not only into a tool for text and information, but also into a platform for music discovery and personalized playlists. Following the initial announcement, the Apple Music feature is now officially activated and available for use.
The integration of ChatGPT with an established streaming service like Apple Music demonstrates the direction in which AI applications are evolving. It's no longer just about answering questions, but about personalized experiences. Music is an obvious area of focus. Listening habits provide clear patterns that are well-suited for recommendations. This is precisely where ChatGPT's new Apple Music integration comes in.
Apple Music as a separate app in ChatGPT
A dedicated Apple Music app is available within ChatGPT for this new feature. This app allows ChatGPT to provide music recommendations and create playlists.
Apple Music can be added to ChatGPT via the "Settings" section. This works in the Mac app, the ChatGPT website, and the iOS app. Apple Music can be selected within the app options. Activation requires logging in with an Apple account to authorize the connection.

Discover music without an Apple Music subscription
A key aspect of the integration is that no active Apple Music subscription is required to use the basic functions. According to OpenAI, all users can discover music with ChatGPT, regardless of whether they have a subscription or not.
ChatGPT allows you to browse the Apple Music catalog, including songs, artists, albums, and playlists. You can also listen to preview clips. This makes ChatGPT suitable for users who want to discover new music without being tied to a streaming subscription.
Additional features for Apple Music subscribers
With an active Apple Music subscription, additional features are available. Songs, albums, and playlists can be added directly to your Apple Music library via ChatGPT. Once Apple Music is connected to ChatGPT, the service can be selected using the "+" button.
Playlists created by ChatGPT and recommended content can be opened directly in Apple Music. This creates a seamless transition between AI-powered recommendations and actual music listening within the Apple Music app.

Activation of the function
ChatGPT's Apple Music integration was officially unveiled the previous day. However, at that time, the integration was not yet actively usable. The Apple Music app has now been activated in ChatGPT and can be added. The feature is therefore available immediately.
Apple Music extends the functionality of ChatGPT
With Apple Music integration, ChatGPT significantly expands its functionality. The combination of AI-based recommendations and an extensive music catalog creates new possibilities for music discovery and playlist creation. Particularly relevant is the fact that many features can be used even without an Apple Music subscription. ChatGPT is thus evolving into a versatile platform that increasingly covers entertainment areas as well.
