Apple Music and Purchased Albums/Music

My husband recently passed away and I want to be able to listen to the music he purchased on his Apple account. Do I need to have an Apple Music subscription to listen to albums and songs he purchased?

iPhone 16, iOS 18

Lisa,

Sorry to hear of your loss.


If the songs reside on one of his computers or drives that you can access, you can just go ahead and make copies and play them. (Provided they are post-2009 purchases.)


If you need or wish to access his Apple Account, get the documentation together and see this guide:
