How to Connect Apple Music to Discord on Phone or Computer

Music is one of the simplest ways to share a moment or spark a conversation with new friends on Discord. However, Apple’s closed ecosystem and lack of a public API make it tough to connect Apple Music to Discord for real-time playback sharing. 

Don’t worry, we’ve pulled together the best ways to link Apple Music to Discord step by step, from using GitHub Tools like Discord Music Presence and Apple Music Discord Bots to using Spotify. For the Spotify way, you need to using tools like StreamFox for Music to help do the job.

Each GitHub tool for connecting Apple Music to Discord offers something different, from simple status syncing to deeper customization. The good thing is they’re community-built and completely free to use.

Just know that you’ll need both Apple Music and Discord desktop apps installed for any of GitHub tools to work properly. However, none run flawlessly 100% of the time, which is exactly why we’re showing you multiple options.

Way 1. Use Discord Music Presence

Compatible OS: Work on Windows and macOS (both Apple Silicon and Intel). Linux is not supported.

Discord Music Presence is one of the simplest GitHub tools available for linking your Apple Music activity to Discord. It’s lightweight and requires no companion apps or additional setup to work. Beyond Apple Music, other players like TIDAL and foobar2000 are also supported by Discord Music Presence.

As for customization, don’t expect much. There are a few basic appearance tweaks, such as how metadata is displayed, but nothing in-depth. The tool simply shows the track title, artist name, album name, and Apple Music logo.

Here’s how to set up Discord Music Presence for Apple Music Connection:

Step 1. Head to the Discord Music Presence GitHub page and download the file that matches your system, Windows or macOS. Once downloaded, launch the app.

Step 2. After launching, you’ll get a small info prompt. Just ignore it. On both Windows and Mac, you’ll find the DMP icon sitting quietly in the tray (taskbar or menu bar).

Note: If you want to adjust anything, right-click the tray icon.

Step 3. Once the app is running, just open Apple Music and start playing a song. Switch back to your desktop Discord app, that’s it.

Your Discord status will automatically update to show what you’re listening to on Apple Music.

Way 2. Use Discord Rich Presence  

Compatible OS: Work on macOS 11 and above, Windows 7, 8, and 10.

Apple Music Rich Presence takes a different approach to connect Apple Music to Discord. It’s built specifically to reflect real-time playback in your Discord profile. It’s particularly effective for macOS users, as it runs using AppleScript which boosts reliability. The tool is heavier and lacks any options for customization, but it’s a solid fallback, especially when other tools stop syncing properly.

How to get started with Apple Music Rich Presence for Apple Music Connection:

Step 1. Go to the Apple Music Rich Presence GitHub page and download the correct ZIP file for your system. Run the installer.

Step 2. Pin the app to your taskbar or Dock for quick access later. The app will only open as a small floating window. So, don’t get confused.

Step 3. Open Discord and keep the Rich Presence running in the background.

Step 4. Then launch Apple Music and start a track. Your Discord profile will use Rich Presence to show Apple Music’s track title, artist, and more.

Way 3. Use AMWin-RP

Compatible OS: Windows 10 (version 21H1 or later). macOS is not supported.

AMWin-RP is the most comprehensive tool on this list to add Apple Music to Discord. It is also the one that is built and actively maintained by multiple developers. It offers a wide range of customization options, from Discord display settings to integration with Last.fm and ListenBrainz for scrobbling.

Follow these steps on Windows to get full control over how Apple Music shows on Discord:

Step 1. Head to the AMWin-RP GitHub page and grab the right version for your Windows machine. If you choose the no runtime build, remember: you’ll need the .NET 8.0 runtime installed ahead of time.

Step 2. Once it’s running, you’ll find the AMWin-RP icon sitting in the system tray. A single click will reveal quick access to the main interface.

Step 3. Start playing something in Apple Music. With Discord open, your current track will automatically appear in your status.

Apply To: Whether you’re gaming, hosting a group session, or just chilling on Discord, Apple Music Discord bots let each person in the server manage playback, adjust volume, pause, or skip tracks without needing a separate app.

So, if you’re running a shared server or want everyone in sync on Discord, adding Discord Bots to servers is the smoothest option. Plus, it works online, so you don’t have to worry about compatibility.

2 Popular Apple Music Discord Bots

Here are two popular bots you can add to your Discord server or mini-server for displaying Apple Music status. Both are user-friendly, respond to simple slash commands, and make group listening easy to manage.

Just a heads-up: if you’re not the admin, you’ll need Manage Server permission to add them.

Let’s take a look at both.

Neeko

Neeko is built for casual yet no-fuss playback. Just type the song name and it pulls up results instantly. You don’t need links or playlists, and it usually fetches accurate metadata. While the search often matches Apple Music results, the actual playback is typically sourced from YouTube.

Still, the bot is completely free and works 24/7 on any server. You can summon it with simple slash commands and it’s ready to go as long as you’re in a voice channel.

Jockey Music

Jockey Music comes with all the extras: from karaoke mode to bass boost and audio enhancement tools. Still, you can use basic commands without much setup.

That said, some of the more advanced features are locked behind Jockey Boost, a paid upgrade. For casual use though, the free version still does the job well on most servers like Apple Music.

Steps to Use Apple Music Discord Bot

Let’s take Neeko as an example to show how to set Apple Music Discord Bot up. As mentioned, you’ll need to be the server admin or have “Manage Server” level access to add a bot to Discord for showing Apple Music status. Once that’s in place, the process is quick.

Step 1. On your phone or computer, open a browser and head to top.gg In the search bar, look for Neeko or Jockey Music. Once you find it, click Invite.

Step 2. Choose the Server and hit Continue.

Step 3. Authorize the bot, complete the captcha, and wait for the success message.

Now, whenever you’re on the server and connected to a voice channel, anyone can use a simple command like /play. Just type the Apple Music song name and the bot will show a list of matches. Tap on the desired song.

That’s it. The music kicks in and everyone in the channel hears it together.

Spotify provides the smoothest way to bridge Apple Music with Discord. Given Discord supports it as a direct Connection, Spotify can tap directly into Spotify’s API. So, your real-time listening status updates without the lag or sync issues. Bonus: it also supports Spotify’s Listen Along feature, so Discord friends can join in as you listen.

When To Use This Way: This works whether you’re on Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, or even using Discord in a browser. You can play Apple Music music on your Spotify mobile app and have it appear instantly on Discord’s desktop or web version or the other way around.

To listen to Apple Music on Spotify, you need StreamFox for Music to convert your Apple Music tracks to local MP3 files which you can then add to Spotify using its Local Files feature. Once they’re in your Spotify library, you can play them from any device and Apple Music songs can show up in your Discord status just like any regular Spotify track, complete with the correct song info and artwork.

StreamFox’s conversion process is simple. StreamFox supports batch conversions, so saving your entire Apple Music library is quick and organized. It keeps metadata like track names, album art, and tags fully intact and everything is neatly arranged into folders. That allows your collection easier to manage and build a personal music library for a smoother Discord listening experience.

StreamFox for Music

• Built-in Apple Music web player to easily drag and drop songs directly for conversions.
• It supports 10x batch conversion speed, making full-library transfers fast and fully manageable.
• You can build a personal offline library from Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music and other major platforms.
• Audio quality stays intact, with music converted in MP3, AAC, or FLAC at up to 320 kbps.

Convert Apple Music to MP3

Step 1. Start by installing StreamFox for Music on your Mac or Windows machine. From the home screen, tap into Apple Music to launch its built-in player within the software.

Step 2. Sign in with your Apple Music account directly inside the tool.

Step 3. Drag any track, album, or playlist you want straight to the Add (+) button.

Step 4. Once everything is lined up, hit Convert All to save the  Apple Music songs at 320kbps quality to your computer.  

Upload Apple Music MP3 to Spotify

Once StreamFox finishes converting your Apple Music tracks, you’ve got a few ways to bring them into Spotify:

• You can add the files directly to the Spotify desktop app from your computer.
• Transfer them to your phone and upload them through the Spotify mobile app.
• Or simply sync them across devices: upload once and play anywhere.

Let’s run through each option quickly.

Option 1. Via Spotify Desktop App

Step 1. Go to Spotify Settings and turn on the toggle for Show Local Files.

Step 2. Click Add a Source. From Finder or File Explorer, select the StreamFox folder and add it.

That’s it, your Apple Music tracks will now appear under Local Files in Your Library.

Option 2. Use Spotify Mobile App

Step 1. Connect your Android phone to the computer and transfer the StreamFox songs to your mobile device. For iPhone, you need iTunes or Finder to help complete the transfer.

Step 2. In the Apps and Devices section of Spotify Settings, turn on Local Audio Files on both Android and iOS.

Note for iOS users: first, open the Files app and move the transferred StreamFox songs into the Spotify folder, so the app can detect them.

Step 3. Head to your library and Spotify will display the tracks under Local Files.

Option 3. Sync Spotify Songs from Desktop to Mobile

Step 1. To sync tracks between Spotify desktop and mobile, first upload the local Apple Music songs and then add them to a new playlist in your desktop app.

Step 2. Open the playlist on your phone and tap Download. The tracks will sync across all your Spotify devices.

Connect Spotify to Discord for Apple Music Playback

Once all the Apple Music songs are uploaded to your Spotify Local Songs playlist, all that’s left is to connect Spotify to your Discord account. This is what makes your Apple Music playback visible in your Discord status, no matter which device you’re using.

The steps are nearly the same across desktop and mobile, so we’ll show it from the desktop side to keep it simple. Follow these steps:

Step 1. Open Discord and click the Settings icon. From the sidebar, select Connections and tap Spotify on the Add Connection page.

Step 2. You’ll be redirected to a browser. Log in to your Spotify account and click Allow to give Discord access. You’ll see a confirmation screen once it’s connected.

Step 3. Now just play any of your converted Apple Music tracks from the Local Files section in Spotify.

The song will be shown up in your Discord status with all the metadata instantly, just like any regular song.

Wrap Up

That’s everything! We not only cover the methods to connect Apple Music to Discord, but also show you exactly how to set them up, step by step. The key takeaway: if cross-device support matters most, Spotify and StreamFox for Music are the ultimate option.

StreamFox lets you convert high-quality Apple Music tracks, upload them to Spotify, and still have your playback status updated on Discord, all while keeping the original Apple Music listening experience intact.
