see apple music song count

When it comes to managing your music library on Apple Music, keeping tabs on the total number of songs you've accumulated can be quite handy. Whether you're curious about the size of your collection or you're trying to organize your playlists, knowing the exact song count is valuable. However, Apple Music doesn't provide a direct and easily accessible song count within the app.

But fear not! We've compiled a set of workarounds that allow you to see the total number of songs in your Apple Music library. In this part, we'll explore three methods to achieve this.

Method 1: Show Songs Status to See the Number

For starters, you can take advantage of the "Show Status Bar" to check how many Apple Music songs you have, which is quick and convenient as it provides an immediate song count at the bottom of the iTunes or Music app window.

Launch iTunes on your Windows computer or the Music app on your Mac. Make sure you're signed in with your Apple ID, which is linked to your Apple Music subscription.
In iTunes (Windows) or the Music app (Mac), go to the menu bar and find the "View option."

Look at the number displayed in the status bar to see how many songs you have in your library.

Please note: The total number displayed in the status bar includes the greyed-out ones in your music library.

Method 2: Create a Playlist to Count the Number

You can choose to create a playlist to count the total number of your songs on Apple Music. However, this method doesn't update automatically when you add or remove songs from your library. You'll need to repeat the process to get an accurate count if you make changes to your library.

Open iTunes on your Windows computer or Music on your Mac.
In the left sidebar, navigate to the "Songs" section within your music library. This section contains a list of all the songs in your Apple Music library.
To select all the songs in your library, press Ctrl + A (Windows) or Command + A (Mac). This will highlight all the songs in the list.

Right-click (or Control click on Mac) on the selected songs and choose "Add to Playlist" > "New playlist" from the context menu.
Give your new playlist a meaningful name, such as "Song Count." This will be the playlist where you'll keep track of your songs.

Method 3: Use Music Library Tracker
