Is there an Apple Music app for old macOS?

[brunosh]

I have a 2013 MacBook Air that I stopped updating the OS with the fear of it becoming slow and unusable. The question is: updating the system is the only way to have the new Apple Music App? I just switch from Spotify and I'm already thinking of going back, because iTunes is beyond horrible! I don't want to believe that Apple doesn't have a standalone Apple Music app for the previous systems...

You could use the Music app via the web page https://music.apple.com/us/browse to test

It's not the same, and still not as fluid as the spotify app is :/

You do realize that Apple Music on Catalina is basically iTunes with all non-music related features disabled, right? If you hate iTunes you will certainly hate Music as well.

A as for your question: nope, there isn't. Ever since Apple started bundling iTunes with macOS (which l believe started with Mojave) there is no way to update iTunes or Music independently of the OS.

Then you're SOL, sorry bud! But you do have options! You could either:

a] Deal with iTunes
b] Deal with the Web-app
c] Upgrade OS
d] Switch back to Spotify

(and I guess e] listen on another device?)

I ended up going back to Spotify, can't deal with iTunes and Apple Music UI is not as friendly as Spotify.
Thanks for the answers!
