Last year, Apple released a brand-new Apple Music app for Windows users, bringing features and improvements that align with the Apple Music experience on other platforms. Although initially lacking some crucial features, Apple has been steadily updating the app, reintroducing these features. Months after its launch, Apple added support for local media keys and lyrics; earlier this year, they rolled out curated song playlists and manual equalizer control. Recently, Apple released another update through the Microsoft Store, bringing three new improvements, the most notable of which is the addition of collaborative playlists.

Collaborative Playlists: Build Music Selections with Friends

This latest update finally brings collaborative playlists to Apple Music on Windows. Listeners can now invite friends to co-create playlists, allowing everyone to add songs, react, and reorder. This means you can build the perfect party playlist together with friends, create a collection of songs you all love, or share the music you enjoy to spark new musical discoveries for your friends.

Immersive Experience: Full-Screen Album Art and New Column Browser

Beyond collaborative playlists, the update also introduces two new features that enhance the user experience. First, album art can now expand to fill the entire screen, offering an immersive listening experience. With full-screen album art, you can enjoy a more engaging visual experience as you immerse yourself in the music, enhancing the overall musical experience.

Second, Apple has introduced a new "Column Browser, which helps you quickly find songs across your music library. This feature facilitates a more streamlined way to explore different genres, artists, and albums within your music library, helping you discover hidden gems you might have missed.

Continued Improvement: The Future of Apple Music for Windows

While these improvements are welcome, Apple Music for Windows is still missing some key features, such as support for Dolby Atmos and time-synced lyrics. The app also suffers from some bugs, such as inconsistent lock screen media controls. Hopefully, Apple will prioritize fixing these bugs and improving performance before adding more features.

Despite the shortcomings, Apple Music on Windows is steadily improving. With continued updates, it has the potential to become a truly competitive music streaming app on the platform. You can download the latest Apple Music app for Windows from the Microsoft Store.
