What is Apple Music Connect?

This is where fans connect with you, the artist. Share your ideas, audio, videos, and photos, and engage directly with your fans. Your posts and all of the material you upload directly to Connect can be accessed by everyone, not just Apple Music members, making sure your voice has the widest reach possible.


For users, the Connect tab features posts from all of the artists and curators they follow. Users will automatically be following artists whose music they’ve already downloaded, meaning your fanbase will already be established as soon as Apple Music launches.

On your artist page, the Connect tab houses all of your posts. You can also share your posts on Twitter, as well as comment on other artists' posts.


What can I post?

You can post a simple message, share your favorite music from our expansive catalog, and upload your own work, including audio, videos, and photos. All users, whether they are members or not, can read your posts and stream content you upload. However, only members will be able to stream the songs, albums, and music videos you share from the Apple Music catalog.

You can also attach audio or videos that you upload to your existing albums in Apple Music and comment on other artists’ posts or respond to comments on your own posts.

Please note that you must own all rights for any content that you upload to Apple Music Connect (otherwise your access to Connect may be revoked). Your posts are subject to the iTunes Store Terms and Conditions, accessible here. Please review the sections entitled Submissions to the Apple Music Service and Apple Music Submissions Guidelines.

How do I post?

Once you have a profile on Apple Music you can post from within the Apple Music app on your iOS device. See how here.

Are there guidelines for the content I upload?

Apple Music offers you the opportunity to post content that’s unique and personal. Upload audio (up to 90 minutes), videos (up to 10 minutes), or photos (in JPEG or PNG file formats) in the app with a simple tap.

Audio and videos can be professionally produced or spontaneously recorded on an iPhone or iPad and posted immediately. All the audio, videos, and photos that you upload will be available to members and nonmembers alike.

For more detailed technical specs, contact our helpdesk.

How else can fans discover my content?

How long will the content I upload be live?

Your content will be live until you choose to remove it.

How will users tell the difference between my catalog and the audio, videos, and photos I upload in Apple Music Connect?

When fans search your name, the songs and videos you have uploaded will display in a section called From the Artist to help distinguish these unique works from the rest of your catalog.
