Press kit
Your collection. Apple Music. The best of both worlds.
Coming in aud-io 2.0: your music collection and Apple Music together, with private intelligence built around the way you listen. Launching on 28 September 2026, this major update combines the familiar pleasure of the classic iTunes and Music experience with modern AI and optional private cloud intelligence. Local-first at its core: no aud-io account and no telemetry. Apple Music streaming requires an active Apple Music subscription; the integration already exists in aud-io.
