Hi everyone. Could someone explain why I need Apple Music on my iPhone, when I'm using iTunes everywhere else? (two laptops, three iPods, and an iPad?) I couldn't even find iTunes on my phone...Music seemed to be the only option. Am paying monthly subscription....AND have already paid for a whole bunch of songs, already in my iTunes library....pretty good gig, I get it. Thanks in advance!

With an Apple Music subscription you essentially get access to Apple's entire music library. The "catch" is that you LEASE that music to play on any Apple approved device for as long as you subscribe (you cannot burn that music to a CD, for example). If and when you cancel your subscription,. all that music goes away. You can still PURCHASE music from the iTunes Store (with or without an Apple Music subscription) in which case you own that music and can do whatever you want with it (within copyright limitations) for as long as you like.

Thanks for this....makes sense. Again, I had trouble finding iTunes on my phone....is there something you can suggest? Found it on everything else, but couldn’t locate on the phone.
iTunes on your iPhone is a store, not the same as on computer.
You connect your iPhone to your computer iTunes and sync your purchased music to your iPhone.
