Not twins but sisters 👯‍♂️

Here at RouteNote, we distribute to both Apple Music and iTunes. Though you may think they are the same, they are actually very different! Here’s a little guide so that you can see how…

Essentially, iTunes offers a store that you can purchase music from, while Apple Music is a subscription streaming service.

iTunes

• iTunes is a digital marketplace where you can buy and own individual songs, albums, movies, or audiobooks.
• This works well for users who like to permanently own the media after a one time purchase.

Apple Music

• Apple Music is an on-demand streaming service.
• Here you have a subscription which consists of a monthly payment of a set amount.
• This is best for users who want unlimited access and enjoy curated content.
