options to choose from. In my opinion, that decision has just been made
easier than ever thanks to a tantalising offer from Apple Music, which gives you three whole months of access for just AU$1.99 . Thats not AU$1.99 per month, but for all three which is insane value if you ask me.
Ive been using Apple Music for the last 10 years, ever since it launched in 2015, and Ive never seen a reason to switch. It has a huge library of songs over 100 million, in fact and offers easy access to Lossless audio and Dolby Atmos spatial audio at no extra cost. Throw in a number of other enticing features, including music videos, exclusive album drops and DJ mixes, a raft of global radio stations (including some not available anywhere else), and a simply gorgeous, intuitive UX, and you have what can only be described as a near-perfect service. And all of this can be yours for a full three months
for less than AU$2 if you subscribe before May 29, 2026. And it even plays well with Android. Apple Music: was AU$12.99p/m now AU$1.99 for three months Apple Music isone of the most popular music streaming services in the world and you can now get a three-month subscription for just AU$1.99 that's a saving of nearly AU$37.It offers access to millions of songs, playlists and exclusive content and offline listening is also available so you can keep
the tunes pumping even without an internet connection. View Deal A worthy investment What makes Apple Music even more appealing, in my opinion, is the low ongoing cost of AU$12.99 p/m for an Individual plan. The comparable
option from Spotify costs more at AU$15.99 p/m, and while this does include access to a range of audiobooks, I dont personally feel it offers enough to justify the higher price.
The one area where I do have to give Spotify credit, however, is its Connect feature. This lets you cast audio to a range of speakers and AV components, which then stream music directly over the internet. Your phone, tablet or computer acts purely as a controller for selecting songs.
Apple Music doesnt have a similar Connect feature, relying instead on the widely supported AirPlay. While this works seamlessly, I dont believe the quality of the transmission is quite as good. For everyday listening its perfectly usable its just that Spotify Connect is technically superior.

Spatial sounds Another big drawcard for Apple Music is its extensive support for Dolby Atmos music. The easiest way to listen in the spatial audio format is with a pair of AirPods, or via an Apple TV 4K connected to an Atmos-supporting sound system including the best soundbars .
To be honest, Im not totally sold on Atmos music. Ive realised I prefer a
more direct approach to playback, especially when listening through my
AirPods Pro 3 . I do occasionally enjoy it through a Sonos home theatre system, but its not something I use often.
If youre keen to subscribe to Apple Music for its Atmos playback however,
then my colleague Rowan Davies has recently penned an article detailing his top 5 Dolby Atmos albums for newcomers .
Considering Apple Music is just AU$1.99 for three months right now, it presents the perfect opportunity to take Dolby Atmos music for a spin.
As mentioned, this offer available to new subscribers only is live until
May 29.
