用户使用时，在设备上选择音乐，就可通过[[流媒体]]收听，也可保存在设备上供离线使用。用户可以选择自己喜爱的音乐风格，也可以点击“喜欢”（{{Lang|en|"Like"}}）按键标记自己喜欢的音乐，{{lang|en|Apple Music}}可根据用户喜欢的音乐口味提供推荐。这项服务的收费价格以及歌曲库的大小和其他音乐流媒体服务相似，但其独特之处在于附加的功能以及独家提供的音乐内容。{{lang|en|Apple Music}}亦可以通过{{lang|en|[[Siri]]}}进行语音控制，用户可以通过{{lang|en|Siri}}直接选择特定的歌曲播放，也可选择播放符合某种条件的歌曲。<ref name="Verge: announce">{{cite web |url=http://www.theverge.com/2015/6/8/8729481/apple-music-streaming-service-wwdc-15 |title=Apple announces its streaming music service, Apple Music |accessdate=2015-07-19 |date=2015-06-08 |work=[[The Verge]] |archiveurl=https://www.webcitation.org/6Z8hZFUn5?url=http://www.theverge.com/2015/6/8/8729481/apple-music-streaming-service-wwdc-15 |archivedate=2015-06-08 |last1=Popper |first1=Ben |last2=Singleton |first2=Micah |deadurl=no }}</ref><ref name="Ars: next chapter" />{{Lang|en|[[iOS 10]]}}之后的{{lang|en|Apple Music}}在播放中还会显示歌曲的歌词<ref name=":3">{{Cite web|url=http://sspai.com/34532|title=WWDC 发布了 iOS 10 和 macOS Sierra 的一大堆新东西，都整理在这儿了|accessdate=2016-06-14|author=|date=2016-06-14|publisher=少数派|archive-date=2016-06-17|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160617112613/http://sspai.com/34532|dead-url=no}}</ref><ref name=":4">{{Cite web|url=http://www.theverge.com/2016/6/13/11903956/apple-music-update-itunes-redesign-announced-wwdc-2016|title=Apple Music gets 'redesigned from the ground up'|accessdate=2016-06-14|author=|date=2016-06-13|last=Statt|first=Nick|publisher=The Verge|archive-date=2016-06-14|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160614122903/http://www.theverge.com/2016/6/13/11903956/apple-music-update-itunes-redesign-announced-wwdc-2016|dead-url=no}}</ref>。

{{lang|en|Apple Music}}还包含了著名艺人负责的网络电台服务，其首个电台“{{lang|en|Beats 1}}”在超过100个国家提供24小时不间断的音乐广播，绝大多数拥有{{lang|en|Apple Music}}服务的国家和地区都可以收听。电台由三位DJ主播：曾在[[BBC廣播一台]]工作的DJ{{le|赞恩·洛|Zane Lowe}}负责在[[洛杉矶]]主播，[[嘻哈]]DJ{{le|埃夫罗·达登|Ebro Darden}}在[[纽约]]主播，英国DJ{{le|朱莉·阿德努加|Julie Adenuga}}则负责在[[伦敦]]主播。<ref name=apple/><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2015/jul/18/beats-1-david-hepworth|title=Beats 1: it’s radio but not as you know it|work=The Guardian|date=2015-07-18|accessdate=2015-07-19|first=David|last=Hepworth|archive-date=2015-07-18|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150718153923/http://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2015/jul/18/beats-1-david-hepworth|dead-url=no}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.businessinsider.com.au/what-people-think-about-apple-beats-1-radio-station-music-2015-7|title=Here's what people are saying about Beats 1, Apple's new global radio station|date=2015-07-18|accessdate=2015-07-19|first=Rob|last=Price|work=Business Insider|archive-date=2015-07-20|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150720041515/http://www.businessinsider.com.au/what-people-think-about-apple-beats-1-radio-station-music-2015-7|dead-url=no}}</ref>苹果公司原有的{{lang|en|[[iTunes Radio]]}}网络电台服务也整合到{{Lang|en|Apple Music}}的付费服务中，同时更名为{{Lang|en|Apple Music Radio}}；原有的免费{{Lang|en|iTunes Radio}}服务则于2016年1月被关闭，但{{lang|en|Beats 1}}电台则可以供用户免费收听。<ref>{{Cite news|url = http://arstechnica.com/apple/2016/01/apple-axes-free-itunes-radio-service-directs-listeners-to-beats-1-instead/|title = Apple axes free iTunes Radio service, directs listeners to Beats 1 instead|last = Cunningham|first = Andrew|date = 2016-01-17|work = Arstechnica|accessdate = 2016-02-05|archive-date = 2016-02-05|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160205132757/http://arstechnica.com/apple/2016/01/apple-axes-free-itunes-radio-service-directs-listeners-to-beats-1-instead/|dead-url = no}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url = http://mashable.com/2016/01/29/apple-itunes-radio-discontinued/|title = Apple's free iTunes Radio is no more|last = Schroeder|first = Stan|date = 2016-01-29|work = Mashable|accessdate = 2016-02-05|archive-date = 2016-02-05|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160205121916/http://mashable.com/2016/01/29/apple-itunes-radio-discontinued/|dead-url = no}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url = http://mashable.com/2016/01/15/itunes-radio-apple-music/|title = iTunes Radio will no longer be free|last = Bell|first = Karissa|date = 2016-01-16|work = Mashable|accessdate = 2016-02-05|archive-date = 2016-02-05|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160205122154/http://mashable.com/2016/01/15/itunes-radio-apple-music/|dead-url = no}}</ref>

{{lang|en|Apple Music}}的页面中包含了多个标签页。“为你推荐”（{{lang|en|"For You"}}）标签页中包含了为用户推荐的音乐，其推荐算法之外还有音乐专家的手工选择对此进行补充。在“我的音乐”（{{lang|en|"My Music"}}）标签页中则显示了用户已购买的歌曲和可以通过在线流媒体收听的歌曲。<ref name="Ars: next chapter"/>“广播”（{{Lang|en|"Radio"}}）标签页中收录了{{lang|en|Beats 1}}和{{Lang|en|Apple Music Radio}}服务。<ref name=":3" /><ref name=":4" />。
