How to Find Out How Many Songs You Have on Apple Music: A Journey Through the Library

In the world of digital music, Apple Music stands as a hub for millions of songs, offering an unparalleled music experience. As a music lover, it’s natural to accumulate a vast collection over time. But how do you find out how many songs you have on Apple Music? This journey through your music library is not just a count of numbers; it’s a reflection of your musical preferences and memories.

Step 1: Logging into Your Apple Music Account

To start this journey, you first need to access your Apple Music account. Launch the Apple Music app on your iOS device or use the web version on your desktop. Enter your credentials and get ready to explore your vast music world.

Step 2: Navigating to Your Library

The Library is the hub of your personal music universe. Once you’re logged in, look for the Library section in the app or on the website. This is where all your favorite songs, playlists, and other music-related activities reside.

Step 3: Accessing Your Song Collection

Inside the Library, you will find several sections such as “Recently Played,” “Top Artists,” “My Music,” etc. To view all the songs you have on Apple Music, go to “My Music” or “Downloaded Music” (depending on your device and app version). Here, you will see a comprehensive list of all the songs you have added to your library.

Step 4: Counting Your Songs

Now comes the fun part – counting your songs. While there isn’t a direct ‘count’ button to display the total number of songs, you can scroll down to see the alphabetical list of artists and scroll through each artist to get a rough estimate. Alternatively, you can use the search function to search for specific titles or genres and then use the ‘Results’ bar at the top to see how many matches there are. This approach is more tedious but will give you an accurate count if you’re diligent with your search queries.

Step 5: Managing Your Collection

As you explore your collection, you might find duplicates or songs you no longer want. Use the edit function to delete or organize your songs. This helps keep your library clean and efficient. You can also create playlists to categorize your music for easier access later.

A Note on Subscription Content: If you are subscribed to Apple Music, you also get access to millions of songs from the Apple Music catalog. The count of these songs isn’t included in your personal library count as they are part of the service’s extensive library. However, you can add any song from these libraries to your library and they will be counted as part of your personal collection.

Now that you know how to navigate your Apple Music library and count your songs, here are some additional insights into this vast musical world:

What Can You Learn from Your Song Count?
Your song count not only tells you how many tracks you have collected but also reflects your musical preferences, journey, and memories. Every song has a story – whether it’s an artist you’ve been following for years or a track that was a big part of a memorable event. By reflecting on these tracks, you can relive those moments and discover new music based on what you already love.

Making the Most of Your Collection
With so many songs in your library, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Use Apple Music’s features like ‘For You’ tab or daily mixes to discover new music based on your preferences. This helps you make the most of your vast collection and expand your musical horizons.
