Q: What does the 3-month free trail offer?

I recently joined Itunes & keep getting a prompt to start my 3 month free trial. I've been trying to find out what exactly is offered in the trail, but everywhere I go, they give very vague info on the trail, so it would be nice to have a bit of detail on what I'm signing up for & whats involved. I wouldn't want to waste my time on signing up for something I found to be pointless to me. Any info provided is much appreciated.

 

Thank you.

    If you're subscribed to Apple Music, you'll have full access to all the tracks in it for no additional cost. Any songs you download through it will only play while you're a subscriber, and can only be put onto devices running at least iTunes 12.2 or iOS 8.4.

    headaches....

     

    lol but seriously... you get access to many of the same songs available in the store. Basically you can play the full length song from the internet. You can add to your library for offline play.  Theoretically you also get a matching service where you can play your library on other machines by logging in. But if you download your library that way you'll get DRM copies according to reviews.  From what I read iTunes Match is still DRM free but Apple Music is DRM-ed. So if you listen to a lot of streaming music it might be worth it.  Just make a backup of your music library before you start it.... I've got too much in my library already so I'm dreading the ending of the trial.
