Music (also known as Apple Music, the Apple Music app, and the Music app^[1])^{[n 1]} is a media player application developed for the iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, visionOS , tvOS, Android, and Windows 11 operating systems by Apple Inc.^[2] It can play music files stored locally on devices, as well as stream from the iTunes Store and Apple Music.

On iPhones running iOS 4 or older software, it was named "iPod".^[3] It was included in the initial releases of tvOS, watchOS, and iPadOS. It was released with macOS Catalina on October 7, 2019, as one of three applications created to replace iTunes.^[4] The Music app is differentiated from iTunes by its concentration on streaming media and lesser focus on the iTunes Store, where content may be purchased outright.
