So if you do want to sell your music, and not direct people to Apple Music where they can stream it, you’ll need to change, and then check, all your links. But even without that specific code, links redirect to Apple Music, if the user has that turned on in iTunes or an their iOS device. Again, you can see in the screenshot above that the code at the end of the link is &app=music, which redirects to Apple Music. The second method is to manually change your links, adding the following code at their ends: &app=itunes. Select the iTunes link or badge that you want to use. You can also see the iTunes Badge, and scrolling shows you a small iTunes Badge as well. If you hover over the line of links, you’ll see arrows to scroll through to more links, including an iTunes Text Link. The embed code below has the link to Apple Music the Text Link you see is also for Apple Music. Search for a song or album, and you’ll see a series of links.Īs you can see, the first button available is Listen on ?Music. The first is to use Apple’s Link Maker tool. And, if the album in question isn’t available for streaming, then this link just goes to the New page in Apple Music.Īs such, artists and labels may find that, instead of nudging people to buy their music on the iTunes Store, they are instead only offering an option for people to stream it. The same thing occurs if you copy a link from the iTunes Store and use that link, or share it with someone that link sends people not to the store, but to Apple Music. Instead of sending someone to the iTunes Store, where they can buy an album, these links redirect to the Apple Music section of iTunes, or of the Music app on iOS (if the user has Apple Music turned on.)

The second part of this bonus is that this method when you use your affiliate link, will automatically open up the iTunes application on the person’s computer, if they have it installed. This is a double bonus actually, because anyone who goes through your link, if they purchase anything from iTunes, you’ll get a commission. I apologize if this process is complicated, but if you follow it word for word (except for the specifics of your site and graphic), you should be OK.īONUS: If you are an iTunes affiliate, and you grab your link from the iTunes Linkmaker while you are logged into iTunes, the URL that you use for your subscribe button will contain your affiliate code. Obviously, replace “/your_image_url_goes_here.jpg” with the entire URL of the graphic you should have already uploaded to your WordPress site (WordPress will give you the URL to that graphic – that’s what you want). After you paste that, you will need to modify and add some code. Paste that copied link into the Text widget. It should look similar to this:Ħ. Drag the Text widget into Sidebar (or where ever you want to place the subscribe button)ĥ. Locate your podcast, and copy the HTML it gives you for the link.ģ. In your WordPress control panel, click on Appearance…WidgetsĤ.
