Why you can trust Pocket-lint (Pocket-lint) – During its Unleashed event in October 2021, Apple introduced a cheaper plan for Apple Music. Called ” Apple Music Voice Plan “, the new tier is half the price of an individual Apple Music subscription – but it still provides access to the music service’s entire catalogue of 90 million songs. There are some caveats, of course. Here is what you need to know about Apple Music Voice Plan and whether it’s worth trying. What is Apple Music Voice Plan? Simply put, with Apple Music Voice Plan, you can access all of Apple Music, but you can only do so by voice control. In other words, you have to play music through a Siri-enabled device, such as a HomePod Mini, AirPods, or an iPhone. With an Apple Music Voice Plan subscription, you can ask Siri to play anything in the Apple Music library – including full albums, individual songs, and Apple’s playlists. There is no limit on song choice or the number of skips available. What’s the catch? With an Apple Music Voice Plan, you can’t use the Apple Music app to manually control your listening experience like you can on another subscription tier. That’s because the Apple Music app has a very different user interface just for Voice Plan users. It is stripped back to only show music suggestions and your recent listening history. There is also a special section to help you learn how to interact with Apple Music via Siri voice commands. So, to play the latest song by Taylor Swift, rather than diving into and using the Apple Music app on your phone, you must ask Siri (“Hey Siri, play [x] by Taylor Swift”).
