Thanks for posting in the Apple Support Communities Roshni178,


To stream music from the Apple Music catalogue in the Music app, you'll want to subscribe to Apple Music:


The Apple Music app is your one place to manage and listen to your music library. And if you subscribe to Apple Music, you can stream millions of songs, discover new music to add to your collection, and access your music library on your other devices.

Listen to music and more in the Apple Music app


Also, to listen to music while offline or not connected to Wi-Fi, you'll need to download the music to your device. The page below provides those details and steps on how to do so, if needed.


Add and download music from Apple Music - Apple Support


If you need more help, are already a subscriber, or have already tried this, please provide additional information and context can increase the chance that you'll get a relevant and helpful response from the community.


Cheers!
