So, you're ready to break up with Apple Music? I get it. It's not for everyone.
Let's face it, sometimes you just need a change. Or maybe you finally remembered that Spotify gift card from Aunt Mildred. Either way, let's ditch this digital beat.
The Great Escape: Canceling on Your Computer
First, fire up that trusty computer. Yes, the one that collects dust most of the time. It's about to earn its keep!
Option 1: The Music App Maneuver
Open the Music app. Shocking, I know. Who knew you'd actually have to *use* it?
Now, look up at the top of the screen. See that menu bar? Click on Account. It's usually near "File" or "Edit".
You should see an option that says "View My Account". Click it. Prepare for a login prompt.
Apple wants to make sure it's really *you* trying to escape. Enter your password. If you remember it, that is.
Once you're in, scroll down. Keep scrolling. Seriously, it's like a digital scavenger hunt.
Until you find "Subscriptions". Almost there!
Click "Manage" next to Subscriptions. This is the point of no return... almost.
Find Apple Music in your list of subscriptions. Then click "Edit".
Finally! Click "Cancel Subscription". Confirm that you really, *really* want to cancel. Apple will try to guilt trip you. Don't fall for it!
You've done it! Congratulations! Feel the sweet taste of freedom (from monthly music bills).
Option 2: The iTunes Tango (For the Throwback Crowd)
Still rocking iTunes? Respect. You're a true OG.
Open iTunes. Dust off that icon if you have to.
Click on Account. Yep, same drill as before.
Then, "View My Account". Brace yourself for another password prompt. I swear, Apple loves passwords.
Scroll down again. The digital scavenger hunt continues.
Find "Subscriptions". Getting a sense of deja vu?
Click "Manage". It's like we've been here before. Because we have.
Find Apple Music. And then click "Edit".
Click "Cancel Subscription". Stand strong. Don't let Apple's sad attempts to keep you sway you.
And there you have it! You're officially free from Apple Music on your computer.
Post-Cancellation Bliss
Now, go forth and enjoy your newly found music freedom. Maybe rediscover your old CDs. Or finally try that free version of Spotify. The possibilities are endless!
Just remember to set a reminder to cancel that *Spotify* trial before they charge you too. The circle of digital subscriptions continues!
Enjoy the silence... or whatever music *you* choose to fill it with.
