If you use Discord to chat, hang out, or play games with friends, you may want to share your music activity with others. Many users look for a way to use Apple Music with Discord so their current songs can appear on their profile. However, they may be disappointed to find that Apple Music does not currently offer official Discord integration.
In this guide, we will show you how to use Apple Music on Discord through different methods. By the end, you will learn how to share songs, show what you are listening to, and play Apple Music while chatting with friends.
Part 1. How to Show Apple Music on Discord Profile with Rich Presence
Discord Rich Presence lets apps share real-time activity details on your profile. Since Apple Music does not have a built-in Discord connection, Rich Presence tools such as "Discord Music Presence" can help bridge the gap. These tools detect what you are listening to and send details like song titles, artists, album artwork, and playback status to Discord. Some tools may even support listen-along features in voice channels, depending on what they can do. The tradeoff is that they need some setup and usually have to keep running while you listen.
Option 1. Show Apple Music on Discord with AMWin-RP (Windows)
AMWin-RP is a Discord Rich Presence tool made for Apple Music users on Windows. It reads playback information from the Apple Music desktop app and sends details like the current song, artist, and album to Discord, so your profile can show what you are listening to. It runs in the background and supports Last.fm and ListenBrainz scrobbling, letting you share your activity while keeping a music history. Its main advantage is its focus on Apple Music, making it a practical choice for Windows users.
01Go to the AMWin-RP GitHub page.
02Open the latest release and download the file under Assets.
03Extract the downloaded folder.
04Open the AMWin-RP.exe file.
05Allow any permission prompts to connect with Discord and Apple Music.
06Launch the Apple Music app on Windows.
07Play a song, album, or playlist.
08Open Discord and check your profile.
09Your current song should appear as Rich Presence.
Option 2. Show Apple Music on Discord with iTunesRichPresence (Windows)
iTunesRichPresence is an older Discord Rich Presence tool for iTunes and Apple Music desktop users. It connects your music player to Discord and shows details like the song, artist, album, and playback status on your profile. It is a simple option for users who only need basic music activity sharing. However, it may not have the latest features or support found in newer tools.
01Go to the iTunesRichPresence GitHub page.
02Open the latest release and download the file under Assets.
03Extract the downloaded folder.
04Open the iTunesRichPresence.exe file.
05In the app settings, enable Run on Startup if needed.
06Launch iTunes.
07Play a song from your library.
08Open Discord and check your profile.
09Your current song should appear as Rich Presence.
Option 3. Show Apple Music on Discord with Music Presence (discord-music-presence)
Music Presence is a flexible Discord Rich Presence tool that supports multiple music players, including Apple Music. It detects supported apps and updates Discord with details like the song name, album artwork, and playback progress when available. Its main benefit is flexibility, especially for users who switch between different music apps. However, users who want Apple Music-focused features may prefer a dedicated tool like AMWin-RP.
01Go to the discord-music-presence GitHub page.
02Open the latest release and download the file under Assets.
03Extract the downloaded file and open the Music Presence app.
04Allow any permission prompts to access Discord and supported music apps.
05Right-click the Music Presence icon in the system tray.
06Select Settings > Services.
07Enable Use the iTunes API for Apple Music support.
08Launch Apple Music on macOS or iTunes on Windows.
09Play a song and open Discord.
10Check your profile to see your current song details.
Part 2. How to Play Apple Music on Discord with Music Bots
Discord music bots work by connecting to supported music sources, taking song requests, and playing audio directly in voice channels. Some bots let users paste Apple Music links and find the same track from sources like YouTube. However, they cannot actually stream from Apple Music because its songs are protected by FairPlay DRM and are only available through approved Apple Music apps and services. This means bots are more of a workaround for finding similar tracks rather than a way to play genuine Apple Music streams.
Option 1: Using Jockie Music Bot
Jockie Music is one of the most feature-rich bots for Discord. It supports Apple Music and more. You can run multiple Jockie bots in one server and manage music playback with commands for play, skip, queue, and volume. The command structure can take some getting used to, but once you're familiar, it's one of the most flexible bots out there. It's a popular choice in larger servers for a reason.
01Visit Jockie Music's website or search for it on top.gg, then click Invite to add the bot to your server.
02Choose the server you want to add it to and grant the requested permissions.
03In your Discord server, join a voice channel.
04Type m!play followed by the Apple Music link or just the song name. Example:
05Jockie will search for a match (usually on YouTube) and play the audio version.
06You can invite up to four Jockie bots (m1 to m4) to play multiple songs or queues in different channels.
Option 2: Using Neeko Bot
Neeko is a clean, reliable alternative that works with Apple Music, Tidal, Spotify, and others. It focuses on essential music functions, like playing songs by name or link, managing queues, and skipping tracks, without getting too complex. Its easier command setup makes it a good fit for casual users or smaller servers looking for stable music playback without hassle.
01Go to the Neeko Bot page on top.gg and click Invite to add the bot to your server.
02Authorize the required permissions and make sure Neeko has access to join voice channels.
03In any text channel, type /play and paste your Apple Music link or type the song title. Example:
04Neeko will attempt to match the song from supported sources like YouTube and begin playback.
05Use /nowplaying to see what's currently playing or /queue to check upcoming tracks.
Option 3: Using FlaviBot
FlaviBot is a newer music bot gaining attention for its wide support and simple design. It works with Apple Music, Spotify, Deezer, Tidal, direct links, and even internet radio. Features like filters, 24/7 playback, and playlist tools make it appealing for users who want a more customizable experience. While it doesn't have as big a following yet, it's shaping up to be a solid, user-friendly option.
01Visit the FlaviBot official website or its listing on top.gg and invite the bot to your server.
02Set up the bot by giving it permission to connect to voice and text channels.
03In a text channel, use the +play command followed by your Apple Music track link or title. Example:
04FlaviBot will retrieve a playable version (typically from YouTube) and play it in your voice channel.
05If playback doesn't work, try using just the song name instead of a direct Apple Music link.
Part 3. How to Share Apple Music on Discord with Screen Sharing
Discord's Go Live and Screen Share feature lets you share application windows, including Apple Music. However, this does not mean you can directly share Apple Music streams because the service uses FairPlay DRM protection. Similar to other protected streaming platforms, Apple Music content may not be captured properly and could appear as a black screen or have muted audio. If you want a smoother sharing experience, you may need another supported source or compatible audio files.
Part 4. How to Connect Apple Music to Discord with Official Integration
Apple Music does not currently have an official Discord integration, so there is no direct way to link your account and show your listening activity like Spotify. The common workaround is to move your Apple Music playlists to Spotify and then connect Spotify with Discord. Under User Settings > Connections, Spotify lets you turn on options like Display on Profile and Display Spotify as Your Status. Once connected, Discord can show your current song, update your status automatically, and let friends see what you are listening to. While this does not directly connect Apple Music to Discord, it gives you the closest experience to an official setup.
You can transfer Apple Music playlists to Spotify using services like TuneMyMusic. ViWizard Music Playlist Transfer also helps move Apple Music songs, playlists, albums, artists, and entire libraries to Spotify. It is available on both Windows and Mac.

Part 5. How to Play Apple Music on Discord with Local Audio Files
Discord has grown beyond gaming into a broader social platform, and local audio files give users more flexibility when sharing music. Unlike streaming services, local files are saved on your device and are not tied to a specific app or account. However, Apple Music downloads cannot simply be copied and used as regular audio files because they are protected and can only play inside the Apple Music app.
