Just like any other streaming service, you need to pay a subscription fee to enjoy the service. It is accessible from any device like iOS, Android, desktop, and so on. So, Apple Music is not limited to iOS devices. Most Apple devices or services are limited to Apple users.

On the other hand, you might have an Apple Music song object.

Need an Apple Music developer token? I wrote a little helper for that as well. I’ll let you decide how you may want to deal with that. Note, given what we know about ISRC, you may receive more than one song from the Apple Music catalog. curl -g -X "GET" " = I SRC" -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer DEVELOPER_TOKEN"Īpple Music will allow you to send up to 25 ISRC codes at once. With this value you can then search for the matching track on Apple Music. Within this response you will find the external_ids key and it should contain an ISRC value. So, let’s say you have a Spotify track response. In addition, remastered recordings may retain their original ISRC depending on the significance of audio changes. Works, on the other hand, are identified by an ISWC. As such, remixes, edits, and different recordings will receive their own ISRC. The ISRC identified a particular recording, not the composition and lyrical content. But, what the hell is an ISRC code?Īpparently the ISRC or International Standard Recording Code was codified in 1986 to uniquely identify sound recordings and music video recordings. Luckily for us, the Apple Music API added search by ISRC during WWDC 2018. In fact, the only additional track identifier available on Spotify now is an ISRC code. Sadly, if you look at a Spotify track response, you will not find an Apple Music track id and the same goes for the opposite. In order to pull this off, I need to create a local database of tracks that contains ids from both services I can utilize when calling their respective “Create Playlist” functions. I’m currently in the middle of a client project which will produce playlists for both Spotify and Apple Music. The Apple Music “Note” and Spotify’s Hot Dog Variations
