ChatGPT's Apple Music Integration Is Now Live

There's now a dedicated Apple Music app for ChatGPT, which allows ChatGPT to make music recommendations and build playlists.

‌Apple Music‌ can be added to ChatGPT through the Settings section in the Mac app, website, or iOS app. ‌Apple Music‌ is listed under the apps option, and connecting to it requires signing in with your Apple Account for authorization purposes.

ChatGPT can be used to search through the ‌Apple Music‌ catalog for songs, artists, albums, and playlists, even without an ‌Apple Music‌ subscription. OpenAI says that all users are able to discover music, generate playlists, and listen to preview clips in ChatGPT.

‌Apple Music‌ subscribers can add songs, albums, and playlists to their ‌Apple Music‌ Library using ChatGPT. When ‌Apple Music‌ is added to ChatGPT, it can be selected by tapping on the "+" button. Playlists and suggestions generated by ChatGPT can be opened directly in ‌Apple Music‌.

ChatGPT's ‌Apple Music‌ feature was first shared yesterday, but the functionality wasn't live. The app is now available to add to ChatGPT.

Update: This article originally suggested that the app could tap into a user's ‌Apple Music‌ listening history, but it does not have this capability and the user's history and playlists remain private. The app can add to a user's ‌Apple Music‌ library but does not have read access.

I'm thrilled about this! I've been looking for ways to share more private data with Sam. He's such a fantastic person.

What's the point of connecting Apple Music when it can't actually access your music and make tailored recommendations?

got this prompt to work on my mac. very nuanced!

"Make me an Apple Music playlist of the top songs sung by women between 1987-1993 that feature a saxophone with an average bpm over 120."

Well, at least ****in' try it.

It's a bunch of fun and what Apple Intelligence should be:

"Create a playlist in Apple Music for the definitive college radio bands from 1978-1990. Popular is good but deep cuts and one hit wonders are great. Now take it one step further and give me the down tempo Late night DJ Version sprinkled with deep cuts."

I'd be satisfied if AI (Apple Intelligence) could do this as well.

I don't mind Apple spreading their bets on AI, but I can honestly say I don't have any use for this functionality. Can we please just get direct control?
