We started with ‎1000 songs in your pocket. Now it's over ‎70 million. Music is
part of Apple's soul. Whether it's classic jams or hot new tracks, shredding
songs to bang your head to or tunes to move your hips to, music inspires us
and drives us to do our best work. Apple Music's editorial team puts together
the best playlists and recommendations in every genre in the industry. It's
about the music you love, but just haven't heard yet. Technology provides
access, but we believe in human curation and that if you can't feel the music,
you can't reliably recommend it. At the heart of Apple Music is human
curation. Our editors browse through the new and the undiscovered, and present
it in the most engaging way. Our goal is to share the best content with our
subscribers. Every song our editorial experts suggest is the result of the
countless hours spent listening for just the right sound and discovering the
connections between artists, songs, and subscribers. If you are someone who
