Hello,

seems like Apple Music in the web is about to happen. You can generate embeds on the site https://tools.applemusic.com that let you play previews of songs. The twist is, there seems to be a Sign In button on the top right corner (shows up sporadically for me on several devices) that lets you log in with your AppleID which in return turns the Previews into full songs you can listen to.

This could be an indicator that they are about to launch a full web player for AM, potentially as early as tomorrows WWDC.

This is the popup window after logging into your Apple ID:

The only downside is that some songs seem to be greyed out. I guess it could be a licensing issue that prevents certain songs from either being played on the web or in an embed (because the tools.applemusic website is for generating embeds). It also doesn't seem to reflect my library, because songs I've added still show up with a + sign.

Sorry if it's old news / you already have a topic for this somewhere.

It was working earlier but after WWDC ended with no mention of Apple Music at all it is broken. You can search but when you go to an album it is now just blank.

Update. The web player works much better now. I use it when that POS iTunes app freezes with a spinning circle while using over 1GB of RAM.

Every now and then end a track ends it stops but that has a lot to do if I am browsing and I encounter a web site that has some kind of Apple code sometimes so I use Chrome for the Apple Music Toolbox while browsing in Firefox.
