Using Apple Music with Soundburst Downloads
You must use a computer to make our downloads work with Apple Music and it must
have iTunes loaded on it. If you have a Windows PC and need the iTunes program,
you’ll need to download it from Apple’s official website and install it. Don’t worry. It’s
very simple and only takes a few moments.
Here is a link if you need to do that: https://www.apple.com/itunes/. Scroll down
beneath the picture of the laptop and click on the blue Windows button. This will take
you directly to the Apple version rather than Microsoft. Click on Download iTunes for
Windows now (64-bit), then click on the file to install. Login using the same credentials
you use for Apple Music so the accounts can link.
If you’re a Mac user, you’ll have Apple Music pre-installed on your Mac. If not, you can
download it from the App Store.
