I got an email from an address new@applemusic.com saying that i am invited to join Apple Music (subject line). Did any of you get the email? If so what did the rest of the email say? I didn't open it because i don't know if it is a legitimate website. *note* If Apple Music is integrated into iTunes store app then why didn't iTunes send me the email instead of a foreign website?

Go away and stop acting like a baby.

Peter, I do not believe that he is acting. 😐
While the email and source appear to be legitimately from Apple, Inc any question about it
may be addressed directly to Apple from links in the main apple.com site contacts page...
About Apple Music - an introductory page with additional links (+ terms & conditions apply)
Depending on the email client you have, the visual appeal of the content may vary, btw.
Some of us still prefer an alternative to rented audio sources; the original iTunes Radio was
a good start for listening to across the board genre, if one had the bandwidth to spend.
At some point, several of us may choose to keep an older Mac and OS X alive and running
as long as possible, to avoid all these interconnected sharing sync'd iDevices w/ constant
use of the web, since not all-user created projects at work or play require internet or sharing.
The realm of privacy and intellectual property ownership may keep independent minds aloof.
In any event...
Good luck & happy computing! 🙂
Why not? It is the same email address you report you got yours from, and the same subject. What is it going to take to satisfy you?! You received the email because you have an Apple ID, and it went out to everyone that has an Apple ID and email address. I have two Apple IDs and I got the email to both emails!
Having looked carefully in my Apple accounts settings, I know that I can (and have)
avoided nearly all Apple email such as this announcement of Apple Music, by just
simply clicking a box that says I do not want to be contacted for commercial purposes
in not so many or exactly in those terms. And not everyone with an Apple ID gets those.
However, you can sign up to get announcements to an email account that is not
connected to an Apple ID, and get them; as mine have done. Also, when replying
to an ASC discussion, if you do not want to follow the discussion with email on
each and every reply, you can choose to not have them appear in your email....
As I've done. My actions here only generate email should someone be kind enough
to award points to my lengthy blathering and sometimes outdated old OS X methods.
Then the automatic reply mechanism sends me a copy of my allegedly correct reply.
So, you can turn off any email (except account where you buy something, or have a
payment method in place that you need to keep watchful of, or if you have applecare
or other activity going on with a product and contact them about an issue, etc) as to
not get too much fluff in your email. Since I use webmail and do not download into a
computer, I limit what I get and have to go through & trash it due to a 'total' threshold.
While I did look into my Apple account information to see if anything had changed or
if some new regime had altered my settings after the recent firmware update & minor
software update in my Mavericks 10.9.5 system, I did not consider a screenshot of
the sections related to this topic, because that effort was not related to this issue at
the time. Looking back, some of the information derived from looking in there, may
have been helpful to your question about how to turn off the extra email from Apple.
Your main store account is one place, and your Apple ASC profile info is another.
Hopefully you can find & adjust those settings, so you do not have to accumulate a
variety of email content from your online experience, and also to limit non-critical ones
from places you visit but may not want to subscribe to entire conversations, et al.
In any event...
Good luck & happy computing! 🙂
No. This was not very helpful. I know how to use Apple software and products. My question was whether or not the email was valid or if i was the only one who got the email. Only two people claimed to have received it. I need more answers for confirmation.
With your attitude I seriously doubt that you will get anymore, next time be pleasant to people who volunteer their time to answer your questions.
good luck.
Your post has been successfully answered, as you marked it.
Good Luck

Perhaps your topic may be considered to be beyond the scope of assistance
for a non-technical question, and clearly you have been consistent in awarding
yourself stars and applauds while being rude to those who ventured a reply.
If you do not want email from Apple, or from these forums, you can change
your settings. Then you won't have to ask about the content of email you
signed up for, and then refused to read before trashing it. If you want a vote
or popular poll on who received the email, this is not the place to garner one.
Contact Apple directly to inquire if they wish to share records of their email
volume, and statistical numbers of those who subscribe vs those who don't.
This is not a place to reasonably expect replies to your inquiry.
Mine was a personal choice to not receive the email, as it is not mandatory
just because of an Apple ID, or participation in these ASC discussions. As
members of a peer-user discussions area, where users try to help others,
you have not really asked a technical question, and so should be ignored.
Good luck, & good day to you! 🙂

Is AppleMusic.com a legitimate Apple website?
