What is the Apple Music Voice Plan?
‘Hey Siri, not that track play the other one’ ‘Here’s music from the other ones’.
Apple’s offers a $4.99 per month music streaming subscription plan, but the only limitation is that you can only use it with Siri and your voice.
What is the Apple Music Voice Plan?
The company introduced its plan on October 18, 2021. Under the plan you get access to the entire Apple Music catalog of 90 million tracks and tens of thousands of playlists (including hundreds of new collections, such as dinner party), music genres, and Apple Music Radio. So long as you can make Siri understand what you want to hear. If you want spatial audio, you’ll need the full service.
How does it work?
Apple Music Voice Plan subscribers will get a customised in-app experience with suggestions based on the listener’s music preferences and a queue of recently played music through Siri. Within the app there will also be a dedicated section called “Just Ask Siri” where subscribers can learn tips to optimise Siri for Apple Music.
How do you subscribe?
Users can subscribe to the Apple Music Voice Plan through Siri by saying “Hey Siri, start my Apple Music Voice trial,” or by signing up through the Apple Music app. Subscribers can access the music through any Siri-enabled device, including HomePod, Apple devices and CarPlay.
What Apple said
“Apple Music and Siri are natural partners and already work seamlessly together,” said Oliver Schusser, Apple’s vice president of Apple Music and Beats. “With Siri actively used on hundreds of millions of devices worldwide, we are thrilled to add this new plan that delivers an effortless music experience just by using your voice and makes Apple Music accessible to even more people around the world.”

The Apple Music Voice Plan will be available later this fall in 17 countries and regions, including Australia, Austria, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Spain, Taiwan, the United Kingdom, and the United States. It will be available later this fall.
