Following the announcement made yesterday regarding the impending availability of Apple Music on ChatGPT, the application is now operational. Here’s what is possible with it.
## What this is, and what this isn’t
Although many might think that this integration allows users to stream music on ChatGPT from Apple Music, that is not true; however, you can listen to samples from the tracks as they show up on ChatGPT.
This integration signifies that Apple Music subscribers will now have the capability to request ChatGPT to assemble playlists for them or search for songs, albums, and artists on Apple Music, all based on natural language exchanges with OpenAI’s LLM.
In practice, this allows Apple Music subscribers to request something along the lines of, “Make a 30-song rock and roll Christmas playlist on Apple Music, but steer clear of clichés,” or “Create Barney’s Get Psyched Mix from How I Met Your Mother,” and ChatGPT will take care of locating the songs and compiling them into a playlist, instead of the user needing to do it themselves.
You can also utilize natural language to search for songs, albums, and artists that you may not precisely know how to locate. Essentially, this means that you can prompt it to play “that Alice song from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas,” or “that duuuum duuuum duuuuuuuuum DU-DUUUUUM song from that classic space film.”
From enhanced discoverability to more intelligent curation, there are countless ways to make use of this integration. If you have any good ideas, please share them in the comments below.
## But how do I use it?
Here’s how to access the Apple Music app on ChatGPT:
1. Visit [https://chatgpt.com/apps](https://chatgpt.com/apps), or navigate to the Apps section on ChatGPT.
2. Click or tap on Apple Music.
3. Connect your Apple Music account to ChatGPT.
After completing that, you will be able to either start prompts with “/Apple Music” or select the Apple Music app from ChatGPT’s app options.
Alternatively, ChatGPT can automatically engage with Apple Music based on the context. This signifies that you don’t necessarily have to activate the Apple Music app or specifically mention “Apple Music” in every prompt.
Apple Music requires an active subscription. You can subscribe for $10.99 per month, with the first month free.
