For Windows users, the app is available for free on the Microsoft Store (and you can pay a small, optional fee to support the developers).By Selena Komez Updated on November 21, 2019
And believe me, it’s past time for Apple to replace iTunes on Windows with something better. Still, it’s an interesting app for those who are unhappy with iTunes or the Apple Music web app on Windows. It’s worth noting that Cider is still an “alpha” app, which means that it’s under development – so you’ll probably find a few bugs here and there. There’s also Chromecast support, built-in Song.link sharing, and more. The app even comes with a Remote Control option, so you can play, pause, or skip a song from any other device (hey Apple, please add this to Apple Music). It even has some features that not even the official Apple Music app has, such as the option to follow artists, easy access to your recently played songs, and integration with Apple Podcasts. For instance, it lacks time-synced lyrics, something that was added to Apple Music on iOS, macOS, and even Android years ago.Ĭider not only brings these features, but also features a modern and customizable interface that looks much better than iTunes. ITunes on Windows offers only the basics when it comes to the Apple Music experience. While Mac users may not feel the need to have an alternative Apple Music client, those with Windows PCs may want to give the app a try. The app was built with Electron and Vue.js, so that it can run on both Windows and macOS. Like many other Apple Music clients out there, Cider is based on Apple’s official MusicKit API. With this in mind, a group of developers have created Cider – a new open-source Apple Music client for Window, Linux, and even macOS. However, on Windows, the Apple Music experience is far from the best as users still rely on iTunes. Apple Music is now offered on multiple platforms, which includes not only Apple operating systems but also Android and Windows.
