How to Add Apple Music to Discord

In the digital age, music has become an integral part of our online social experiences. Discord, a popular communication platform, allows users to share their music tastes and listen together while chatting. However, the lack of direct integration between Apple Music and Discord can be frustrating for Apple Music subscribers. Fret not, because we've compiled a comprehensive guide on how to connect Apple Music to Discord, ensuring you can seamlessly share your favourite tunes with your friends and fellow server members.

Option 1. Show Apple Music on Discord via iTunesRichPresence

One of the most convenient ways to showcase your Apple Music activity on Discord is by using the iTunesRichPresence application. Although not a direct integration, this method allows you to push rich content from your Apple Music library to Discord.

Here's how you can set it up:

• Download the iTunesRichPresence application on your Windows PC.
• Unzip the downloaded files.
• Run the iTunesRichPresence-rewrite application.
• Go to 'Settings' and check the 'Run at startup' option (recommended but not required).

With iTunesRichPresence running in the background, your Apple Music activity will be seamlessly displayed on Discord, allowing your friends to see what you're listening to. Additionally, this method offers customization options, enabling you to personalize how your Apple Music content appears on Discord.

Option 2. Play Apple Music on Discord via Apple Music Discord Bot

Another viable option is to leverage the power of Apple Music Discord bots. These third-party programs or scripts can be added to your Discord server, enhancing your listening experience by providing direct access to your Apple Music library within the platform. With these bots, you can search, stream music, create playlists, display track information, and discover or share new music with your friends on Discord.

Some popular Apple Music Discord bots include Jockie Music, Neeko, and Uzox. Each bot offers a unique set of features, such as support for various music sources, audio effects, and customization options. To use these bots, simply follow these steps:
