As part of the “Unleashed” event, Apple introduced an extension for Apple Music that relates to Siri – Voice Plan.
This new Apple Music subscription option is perfect for a single subscriber. With the new “Voice Plan” you can rely on Siri to listen to songs through the service. For $4.99, subscribers have access to 90 million songs, tens of thousands of playlists and stations on all their Apple devices. explained Oliver Schusser, Apple’s Vice President of Apple Music and Beats:
Apple Music and Siri are natural partners and already work seamlessly together. With Siri actively used on hundreds of millions of devices around the world, we're excited to add this new subscription option that delivers an effortless music experience using just your voice and makes Apple Music accessible to even more people around the world.
Apple Music: New subscription option in slimmed down version
According to Apple, users can subscribe to the Voice Plan through Siri by saying, "Hey Siri, start my Apple Music Voice trial," or by signing up through the Music app. When you're subscribed to the Apple Music Voice Plan, you can request music to play on all your Siri-enabled devices, such as HomePod mini, AirPods, iPhone, or another Apple device, as well as when using CarPlay. Subscribers can ask Siri to "play the dinner party playlist," "play something chill," or even "play more of that" to get a customized music experience. But there are trade-offs. Spatial audio and lossless quality, as well as lyrics and music videos, are not included in this low-cost plan. The new option will be available in Australia, Austria, Canada, China, Germany, France, Hong Kong, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Spain, Taiwan, the UK, and the US in the fall.
