See How Many Songs You Have on Apple Music [Library/Playlist/Downloads]

Apple Music offers over 100 million tracks, but how many of those have actually made it into your own collection? Knowing how many songs you have on Apple Music isn’t just about numbers. It helps you plan for backups, organize your playlists, or even prepare to switch platforms. It’s also a great way to track personal milestones, like you do with books or vinyl.

In this guide, you’ll learn how to check how many songs you have on Apple Music, whether they’re in your library, a specific playlist, or the Downloads section. And if you’re looking to back them up or take them offline for good, we’ll show you how to convert them into MP3 using StreamFox for Music.

Apple Music syncs your entire library through iCloud, meaning that every track you’ve added stays tied to your account but not just your device. So, the total will stay consistent across iPhone, Android, Mac, or Windows. Besides, even if a song shows up in multiple playlists, it only counts once.

Here’s how to check the number of songs in your Apple Music Library on any platform.

On iPhone/iPad

By default, the Apple Music app on iPhone doesn’t show the total number of songs in your full library. It might show the song count for individual playlists, but not everything you’ve added across the app.

The good news? You don’t need any third-party tool or complicated workaround. Just create a simple Shortcut right on your iPhone to get the total song count instantly. Here’s how it works:

Here’s how to set up Shortcut for checking the song number in your Apple Music Library:

Step 1. Open the Shortcuts app on your iPhone. Tap the + icon in the top right to create a new shortcut. Then, tap Add Action and search for Find Music.

Step 2. From the Find Music interface, choose Find Music Where and set the source to All Music. You can leave the remaining filters and sorting options as they are.

Step 3. Tap the + again to add another action. Search for Count and select Count Items, which will tally the number of songs found above.

Step 4. Hit the + once more, search for Show Result, and add it.

Step 5. Tap the Play icon (▶) at the bottom right to test your shortcut. You’ll see a pop-up showing the exact number of songs in your Apple Music library.

Tip: Rename and save the shortcut, so you can even reuse this shortcut anytime from the Shortcuts app.

On Mac/Windows

On a computer, checking your Apple Music song count is even easier, with one small catch. Only the Apple Music app on macOS includes a status bar that shows your total number of songs. On Windows, that feature is missing, but you can still get the count by using iTunes instead.

On Mac

Step 1. Open the Apple Music app. In the top menu bar, click on View and select Show Status Bar.You can also press Command + /on your keyboard to turn on it.

Step 2. Once enabled, the status bar will appear at the bottom of the Apple Music screen, which will display:

• The total number of items (your full song count)
• The combined play time
• The total size in GB

On Windows

You can still use iTunes and check your song count the same way:

Step 1. Open iTunes.

Step 2. Go to the View menu and select Show Status Bar.

At the bottom of your library, you’ll see your total song count, duration, and file size.

Downloaded songs take up real space on your device, so keeping track of how many you’ve stored locally can help you manage device storage better. Unlike your total library count, this number only reflects songs that are actually saved offline on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac.

Here’s how to check your downloaded song count of Apple Music.

On iPhone/iPad

On iOS devices, you won’t get a list of downloaded Apple Music songs, just a count. It won’t help you manage or delete anything, but it’s a quick way to know how many tracks are stored locally.

Step 1: Open your iPhone’s Settings app.

Step 2: Tap General and tap About.

Step 3: Look for the Songs line. The number next to it shows how many tracks are currently downloaded on your device.

Note: To check the size of offline Apple Music, go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage.

On Mac

On a Mac, it’s just as easy.

Step 1. Open the Apple Music app. From the top menu, select View > Only Downloaded Music.

Step 2. Once the library filters to just your downloads, the status bar at the bottom will show the total song count that is updated in real-time.

On Windows

Again, the Windows Apple Music app itself doesn’t offer this filter. Instead, you can use iTunes to view only downloaded Apple Music content easily. To do this:

Step 1. Open iTunes and select the Music section from the left sidebar.

Step 2. In the top menu, go to View > Only Downloaded Music.

Once filtered, look at the status bar at the bottom of the iTunes window. It will display the total number of downloaded Apple Music songs.

Apple Music playlists always show the total number of songs at the very bottom along with the full playtime. It’s a quick way to see how large a playlist is or decide which ones are worth downloading for offline use. This works the same way across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Windows:

Step 1. Go to the Library tab and tap on Playlists.

Step 2. Open any playlist you’ve created or saved. Scroll to the bottom to view the total song count and duration.
