Play Apple Music radio in Music on Mac
Apple Music radio features three world-class radio stations (Apple Music 1, Apple Music Hits, and Apple Music Country), as well as a collection of stations based on different genres. These stations provide a great way to explore and enjoy new music or keep up with your favorites.
You can also create your own custom stations, based on your pick of artist, song, or genre.
In addition to radio, you can play Apple Music TV, a free, 24-hour curated livestream of popular new music videos that includes exclusive premieres, music video blocks, live shows and events, chart countdowns, and more.
