Apple is currently offering a promotion that provides new subscribers with a three-month free trial of Apple Music, with qualified returning subscribers able to get a free two month trial.

The promotion is celebrating the release of the recent Genshin Impact album, The Shimmering Voyage Vol. 5, which is available on Apple Music and Apple Music Classical.

Apple Music Classical includes an exclusive multi-language track-by-track commentary that accompanies the album. The commentary is voiced by the original voice actors from the game.

Genshin Impact is an open world anime-style game that is available on iOS devices. Players control one of four interchangeable characters to complete battles, quests, and challenges for rewards. There are multiple regions to visit, each with a different musical theme built on orchestral foundations.

The free trial must be redeemed before October 31, 2025. After the trial period, Apple Music will renew at $10.99 per month.

No thanks. Although, it annoying how many times Apple keep pushing this in front on me. Multiple emails, showing up in my iPhone settings, Apple TV etc. I've had to tell Apple to piss off with their "offer" easily 8 times over the last couple of weeks. I'll stick with YouTube Music.

Same here, really annoying, this offer popping up on many devices. And every freaking time I buy a new device I get the offer again. When will Apple learn that no means no. I mean, they could sync that no to iCloud and have it...nevermind.

Nice, finally a working free Apple Music offer. All of the last ones did not work for me.
 
I'm off any streaming service (though I have youtube premium tbh, I use YT music or just YT sometimes to discover)

back to owning music, just using iCloud Music Library for convinience

Nice, but we decided to subscribe to Tidal because Apple deleted all our previously created playlists after we where not subscribed for a few months. I understand playlists take up a little storage, but they could easily have stored them in iCloud accounts, where there is plenty of space available.

Do they still? I lost my playlists some years ago when not using AM for a few months. But I subscribed lately after quite long time and my playlists are still there.

AM is poor service anyway: gaps between gapless content (operas, concerts) + broken multi-device support. Spotify allows to seamlessly switch playback between devices. AM, at the same time, presents strange popups forcing me to purchase family package just because I was listening on macOS some time ago and forgot to force close AM after that. AM is a functional joke. The only think I like is light interface. I hate Spotify and Tidal forcing people to use dark interface.

Good to know about this and very nice to hear that it is applicable to returning customers as well. Would have been even better if current subscribers are given a month free too.

Are you serious? A promotion? They've done that for years. Every time you buy a new device, change your iPhone, or anything else, they ALWAYS offer this 3-month promotion; but you can't get it because you've subscribed before. Apple is very very cheap. They could indeed give you 3 months of something (Apple Music, or TV+ for 3months) when you spend over $2000 for a new computer. But no: forget about that. No thanks. Don't misread me: I'm happy with my products (well... don't let me start on this Liquid Glass thing where stuff is now hiding behind distorted pale glass...).

I just gave up on AM after years of trying to make this thing stop screwing my albums (incorrect artwork, incorrect tagging, incorrect compilations, etc...). Now, I know, I have to manually transfer my ripped CDs to my iPhone but big deal. I have enough music to listen to for the next 24 months, if I were to listen to all I have 24 hours a day.

Apple pays more to the artists.

Yet for a few artists I know that have music on both, they still make more on Spotify as the subscriber and listening base is higher. Either way, unless you're a big name, streaming royalties are peanuts.

Buying their albums on Bandcamp actually supports them.
