Beyond first-time subscribers, Apple does not explain who is "eligible" for this offer. If you have subscribed to Apple Music in the past, we recommend heading to the offer page on Apple's website to see if you qualify.

Apple says the offer can be redeemed from the Home tab of the Apple Music app, on an iPhone, iPad, or Mac running the latest software.

After the six-month trial, the subscription will automatically renew at Apple Music's standard price of $10.99 per month until cancelled.

This is the "best offer ever" for Apple Music, according to Apple.

Part of my wishes to go back to the days of iTunes and buy an album, or even song, one at a time. Streaming is great, but reality is I probably could easily go back to owning physical copies of music and streaming through free platforms. But now I have the “carrot” of unlimited music for $10/month that I am too weak willed to pass up.
I still do buy my own music
Never stopped

Stopping is just setting oneself up to eventually "require" subscriptions forever, just to keep listening

It's a non starter to me, as music is something of lifetime constant importance for me throughout daily life and activities.

Have tried this so many times and honestly just find it totally inferior to nearly all other options

At least for my needs and wants

Don't like how Apple Music messed with the music I already own. I'll keep my own purchased music and use Spotify to stream, so I don't lose my catalogue of stuff I've bought/ripped over the years, etc.

Dont you have to sub to AM to use the offline library feature? IE I have FLAC rips of albums from obscure metal bands which are not available on iTunes or AM. I currently can listen to them on my AM music account since I uploaded them.
My library is fully local music - no sub -- not even logged into AM

Same here. I still buy CDs from artists that I really care and others just download it. Streaming can be great to learn about new artists and music but if I really like it, I much rather buy it and forget about paying ever again.
