Introduction
If you have an Apple Music subscription, you can access and play your song on all of your devices that have the Apple Music app.
To do this, you’ll first need to add your song to Apple Music on your computer (either Mac or Windows). Doing this uploads the song to iCloud through a feature called Sync Library. Once it’s in iCloud, it will appear automatically on your iPhone, iPad, Android device, and any other device that has the Apple Music app! Here’s how to do it:
