I would like to switch from iTunes to the actual apple music app on my windows pc, but I don’t have the windows store on computer. Is there a way to get the app without it?
iPhone 12 mini, iOS 17
Hi, fjek! My work PC has the Microsoft / Windows Store blocked and that is the only way to download Apple Music to a PC. However, if you log in to Apple Music - Web Player with your Apple Music account, you will get a pretty full-featured web version of Apple Music. If you do this in Chrome or Edge, you can then export the website as an app (Chrome or Edge), and pin it to the taskbar and launch it just like a regular app. I often forget I'm running a web app because it behaves so similarly to the actual Apple Music app.

Sorry, but this doesn’t help me. I’m trying to download Apple Music WITHOUT the Microsoft / windows store. Maybe I didn’t see it but there isn’t a link here to download it without the windows store.
I am a bit confused because you say the Microsoft Windows store. Microsoft doesn't provide any such software in any case. You can only use Apple's software—for which there are some Windows versions—for purchasing the Apple's music. It used to be iTunes but has now been divided among the 3 apps outlined in the article. There isn't a direct web-based service.

There is no known way to install Apple Music for Windows without the Microsoft Store. It's possible links may exist, because they do for iTunes and Apple tries to force you to download that thru the store as well, but if the direct links exist they are a secret thus far.
