Apple Music: Your Membership Questions Answered
What you need to know before taking Apple Music for a spin.
— -- All good things must come to an end -- especially if they're free -- and Apple Music is no exception.
Apple's music streaming service launched today, enticing users to try out the service with a free three-month membership, after which point the credit card on file in a user's iTunes account will automatically be charged a monthly fee.
That monthly fee is $9.99 per month for an individual, or $14.99 per month for a family plan providing service for up to six family members.
If you're curious about what Apple Music has to offer but are undecided if you want to take the plunge after the trial membership, there's one quick step you can take now to turn off auto-renew to make sure you don't forget three months from today.
Open your profile (the red silhouette icon) in the Apple Music app, choose "View Apple ID," and log in to your account. From there, go to the manage tab under subscriptions and toggle automatic renewal to off.
After your three months are up, you can choose to renew with the card on file or continue being smitten with Spotify or whichever streaming competitor pumps you up the most.
