As of today until the end of , you can subscribe to Apple Music without paying anything for the first six months. First spotted by Macworld UK , the campaign comes through the Shazam app, which is also owned by Apple. However, although the app is available worldwide, the deal is only valid in the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada. Open the Shazam app on your iPhone or iPad. If you have never used the app, you may have to identify a song first by tapping the Shazam icon. You should be prompted with the six months subscription deal for free. A promo code will be generated and redeemed in your account automatically so you can use Apple Music without paying anything for six months. The good news is that users who are already subscribed to Apple Music can also get a similar offer.

New and noteworthy.
Apple Music might be flawed, but we still think it compares favourably to the likes of Spotify and Tidal in some key areas. One of the best bits, though, is the no-strings three-month free trial, which makes the 30 days you get with rival services seem miserly. But it turns out with a cunning workaround, you can actually get six months of Apple Music goodness for nowt. To get your first three months, tap or click the 'trial' button in the iOS Music app or iTunes.

Apple is being generous during the coronavirus pandemic, offering free music and now original movies and TV shows to introduce potential subscribers to their streaming offerings. First, Apple extended its day free trial to Apple Music to 90 days. Listeners can access 60 million songs, ad free, via iTunes and iOS and Android devices. The offer includes local radio stations, featured playlists, exclusive and original content and can be listened to online or off. Listeners can also ask Siri to search for songs or for songs with specific lyrics. While extending the free trial period is generous, Apple Music has done this before to attract new subscribers. Spotify has previously extended its free trial to 90 days, but it currently stands at 30 days. Amazon Music Unlimited , however, is now offering 90 days free with the purchase of an eligible product which seems to be random collection of items e. Viewers can watch the following family-friendly programming for free:. IoT, SmartBike, and Subscriptions.
Thanks to a creative workaround, originally found by 9to5Mac , you can use a special Shazam promotion to double the length of a typical free trial for Apple Music. To get started, download Shazam for iOS. When it does, it should automatically add the song to your Shazam library. Tap that. Cross your fingers on this part, because your promotion could drop to a meager one month likely for those who have already subscribed to Apple Music at some point, as I did. As one commenter described :. We both went through the same process. I think she previously had a 3 month trial.
