Other than 1 device listening at a time

Is there a limit on how many devices I can be signed into Apple Music with, and is there a limit on how many devices can download music?

thanks

I do believe you can only authorize 5 devices to interact with your iTunes content, not too sure if it applies too.

While this applies to the number of iOS devices :apple:Music will also work on Android. So I think the 1 device playing at a time is the overall limit.

10 is the limit, of which up to 5 can be Macs or PCs.

Android devices count as well.

(Obviously only one can stream Apple Music at a time.)

So I can have songs downloaded from Apple Music for 10 devices? That blows Spotify out of the water
Correct. There is also no specific limit on the number of offline tracks either (other than general Apple Music library limits) unlike Spotify.

Edit: technically it can be more than 10 devices since Apple Watches don't count.

Why would one person need to be able to download to 10 different devices?
Agreed, but it's nice

I have 3 iPhone models and an iPod touch, so I can't even download all of my Spotify stuff to those
