Open Apple Music links in the app
Paste a Apple Music URL and get a link that opens the Apple Music app instead of the browser — with a web fallback for everyone else.
Free forever. No login. Works with music.apple.com links.
Which Apple Music links work
toThe.App recognises links on music.apple.com. These URL shapes are handled:
- https://music.apple.com/us/album/ALBUM_NAME/ALBUM_ID
- https://music.apple.com/us/artist/ARTIST_NAME/ARTIST_ID
- https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/NAME/PLAYLIST_ID
On iPhone
music.apple.com is handled by the Music app on iOS and opens there directly.
On Android
The Apple Music app opens when it is installed, and the browser takes over when it is not.
Known limitations
No link can force a phone to open an app. These are the cases where a Apple Music link falls back to the web:
- An Apple Music subscription is required for full playback.
- The storefront in the URL (the /us/ segment) must match the listener's region or the content may not resolve.
Questions
How do I make a Apple Music link open in the app?
Paste the Apple Music URL into the generator above and select Make short link. Share the result. On a phone with Apple Music installed, the link offers to open the app; otherwise it continues to the Apple Music website.
Which Apple Music URLs are supported?
Links on music.apple.com are recognised. Typical shapes: https://music.apple.com/us/album/ALBUM_NAME/ALBUM_ID · https://music.apple.com/us/artist/ARTIST_NAME/ARTIST_ID · https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/NAME/PLAYLIST_ID.
What happens on iPhone?
music.apple.com is handled by the Music app on iOS and opens there directly.
What happens on Android?
The Apple Music app opens when it is installed, and the browser takes over when it is not.
Why did the Apple Music app not open?
The device makes the final call. Common reasons: the app is not installed, the specific URL type is not covered (An Apple Music subscription is required for full playback.), or the link was tapped inside another app's in-app browser, which will not hand off to a native app. The web fallback always works.
