Apple Music Voice Simplifies Listening by Giving Us Control of Our Music With Our Voices
The new voice plan is eligible for all Apple devices that feature our friend Siri, including CarPlay and AirPods.
During their Unleashed event, Apple announced its new subscription tier for Apple Music – the Music Voice Plan, reports MusicTech.
Only compatible with Siri enabled Apple products, the Apple Music Voice Plan can only be controlled with – you guessed it – our voices. Rather than pressing buttons and spending our precious time searching for features, we can just ask Siri to do it for us. Siri’s now an expert in the Apple Music service.
We can now give Siri commands (or ask nicely) to “shuffle the playlist”, “play more like this”, “play something upbeat”, “play Busted’s first album”, and so much more.
The new tier is so powerful because of the all-new themed voice-optimised recommendations, including “play something more upbeat” or “play something relaxing”. The new algorithm even considers the songs you have qued up, as well as your playback history. By reading data about how you listen to music, this new service will present you with a listening experience that’s unique to you.
The Music Voice Plan gives all the power to our voices. You could evening commands if you fancied it. Siri has access to Apple Music’s entire catalogue of songs, albums and playlists so no release is too far to reach.
However, not included in the new tier are Dolby Atmos spatial audio, lyrics view and lossless playback.
The new subscription is separate from Apple Music as we know it. Music Voice removes the physical user interface entirely, so you have to use your voice to find the music that you’re down to listen to.
So, instead of scanning your albums and playlists to find something to listen to, you can get Siri to do the hard work for you as you sit back and sink into the music the AI plays for you.
A 7-day free trial is available through the Apple Music app, or you could just ask Siri “Hey Siri, start my Apple Music Voice trial”. Once the free trial ends, the service costs a recurring subscription of $4.99/£4.99.
The lucky 17 countries that will get access to the new service are the United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, Austria, Canada, China, France, Hong Kong, Taiwan, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Spain, and the United States.
