Apple Music Voice was a subscription plan introduced by Apple in 2021 that allowed users to access the entire Apple Music catalog of over 90 million songs using only voice commands through Siri. It was designed as a cheaper alternative to the standard Apple Music subscription, costing $4.99 per month, about half the price of the regular plan. Subscribers could request music, playlists, and stations by speaking to Siri on any compatible Apple device, such as iPhone, HomePod mini, AirPods, or CarPlay. The plan included access to mood and activity playlists optimized for voice control but lacked features like spatial audio, lossless audio, offline downloads, and the ability to create playlists manually. The Apple Music app itself offered limited functionality under this plan, mainly song previews, encouraging users to interact via Siri for full playback

. However, Apple discontinued the Apple Music Voice plan in November 2023, citing the need to focus on delivering a more robust music experience. Since all Apple Music plans already support Siri, Apple decided the dedicated voice- only plan was no longer necessary

. In summary, Apple Music Voice was a voice-first, budget-friendly Apple Music subscription that provided hands-free access to Apple Music's library via Siri but was discontinued as of late 2023.
