Apple Music are getting some Apple Intelligence tricks, and they're pretty impressive. At WWDC 2025 , Apple showed off how its streaming service is becoming smarter, more intuitive, and frankly, more helpful than ever before. The biggest additions? Lyrics Translation and Lyrics Pronunciation, both powered by Apple Intelligence's natural language understanding . Finally, you can actually sing along If you've ever found yourself vibing to BTS or Bad Bunny but had no clue what they're actually singing about, Apple's got your back now. Lyrics Translation does exactly what it sounds like, translating foreign language lyrics into your preferred language in real-time. But it goes further than that. Lyrics Pronunciation gives you phonetic guides so you can actually sing along without butchering the words. No more awkward humming during the Korean verses in 'Dynamite.'

Apple Intelligence is doing the heavy lifting here, understanding context, language nuances, and musical patterns to make these features actually useful rather than gimmicky.

Apple Music's AutoMix Feature Is Making Me Rethink My Spotify Subscription
I've been a fan of Spotify for years. I love my Daily Mixes, Discover Weekly and Release Radar for finding new music while still spinning some of my favorites. The music app just gets me. But maybe it's time for me to finally give Apple Music a chance. At its WWDC 2025 keynote, Apple debuted new features for Apple Music, including lyric translation and pronunciation. You can also pin an album or artist to the top of your library. Honestly, that's pretty pointless to me. But there's one feature making me reconsider whether or not to keep my Spotify subscription: AutoMix. AutoMix blends from one song to the next, just like a DJ would. While Spotify has a crossfade feature that starts one song while the other is ending, Apple introduces the ability to mix using Apple Intelligence for time stretching and beat matching, just like a real DJ would. I love using Spotify's AI DJ because it always plays the right song, even when I don't know what I want to hear. I can also see what my friends are listening to, which can introduce me to more music. I might miss my favorite Spotify features, but it's a tradeoff I'm willing to make -- at least temporarily -- to see if Apple Music is a better fit for me. After all, maybe it's time for me to mix things up a bit. So now, when I'm hosting my son's birthday party or a family gathering, my guests won't only be impressed by my playlist choices that get the party started, but there will also be smooth transitions to keep it going.

Apple Music gets AI-powered AutoMix functionality, lyrics translation (at last!), and more
If you blinked during Apple's jam-packed WWDC 2025 keynote today, you probably missed the blazing fast rundown of the tech giant's latest music streaming features, so allow me to offer you a few details on what's coming. The coolest new Apple Music functionality is undoubtedly AutoMix, which uses AI (naturally) for a personal DJ experience, claiming to do time stretching and beat matching at the "perfect moment" to seamlessly switch from one song to the next. As nice as that sounds, of course, it might be wise to wait and see how the transitions work between vastly different genres before getting too excited. What you can probably get super-excited about without fearing the technology will not work as advertised are the Lyrics Translation and Lyrics Pronunciation tools... that other streaming platforms have already integrated (with varying degrees of effectiveness). Something tells me Apple waited this long to improve your home karaoke performance to get these features just right, and in the (very) short clip used to hype them up, they definitely look as impressive as expected. Last but not necessarily least on today's list of announced Apple Music updates, "Music pins" will, well, allow you to pin playlists, albums, and artists at the top of your Library tab to gain easier access to the stuff you're most interested in, which... is likely to sound awfully familiar to YouTube Music devotees.
