At last,sex and flex full video you can listen to Apple Music on the web, in your browser of choice, instead of needing an iOS or Android app, or iTunes app for Mac or Windows.
Ahead of next week's "iPhone 11" event, Apple released a web-based Apple Music player in beta at beta.music.apple.com. Like Spotify's web player, the Apple Music web player works in anyweb browser on all platforms including macOS, Windows, Chrome OS, iOS, and Android.
We confirmed the web player works on several Macs and Android phones. As you can see, the web player looks pretty darn similar to the new Music app that replaces iTunes on the upcoming macOS Catalina.

As The Verge points out, the web player is missing Apple Music's Beats 1 live broadcast, Apple's original music videos, and smart playlists.
A web-based Apple Music player — even if it's a betaversion — has been a long time coming. Apple Music launched in 2015 and has grown to become a formidable music streaming service with over 60 million subscribers; Spotify has over 100 million subscribers, but in terms of music catalog and features, Apple Music has closed the gap significantly.
Make no mistake: the web player is greatly appreciated, but it's sort of a trojan horse as Apple expands into services. Making its services accessible on anydevice will make them even more enticing for non-Apple users to take a dip into the rest of Apple's ecosystem, whether it's devices or services. Get your taste of Apple Music on your Chromebook and, next thing you know, you're probably using an iPhone.
Still, it's great to see Apple open up a little. Now, it just needs to do the same for Apple News+ and Apple TV+.
