Weird that this is new. I’ve seen it multiple times over the past few months. Maybe I got opted into a test group or something. I activated it by accident several times and ignored it because I primarily use Apple Music when I’m driving.
If you’ve had access, my guess is a mistake was made and you were not supposed to be on the magic list.
Very cool.
> and can be enjoyed on iPhone, iPad, and the new Apple TV 4K But the old Apple TV 4K is not powerful enough for displaying text on a TV, even though any old iPhone is? I get that they want to push device and service adoption but they should pick a lane, either push users to upgrade devices, or push to sign up to paid services. Pushing for both at the same time is greedy.
This seems like it might be Apple‘s standard thing of just promoting whatever their newest products are in all communications.
I'd love to get better at singing, but not quite enough to actually find, schedule and pay for singing lessons from a human teacher.
But I'd happily do 15 minutes a day with a Duolingo-style app, especially if it could guide me through exercises to help me sing better.
My daughter is going to love this. Can anyone make out if songs like this are specially mastered with separate vocal channels? I’m guessing they’re not minus ones that someone else has arranged and played. If these are coming from the original artist it’ll be interesting to know if they’re being uploaded as separate vocal channels or if Apple is applying ML to do voice isolation. Do any audio file formats support sep…
Almost assuredly this is just ML-assisted frequency separation.
Is this akin to karaoke? (The word never appears on the page.) > Apple today announced Apple Music Sing, an exciting new feature that allows users to sing along to their favorite songs with adjustable vocals1 and real-time lyrics. Users can already "sing along to their favorite songs" -- this feels like a wasted opportunity in the first sentence to explain the differentiator. It feels like they're misusing/misunderst…
I agree with “show don’t tell” as a general rule for effectiveness in cases like this, but I find it really hard to believe anyone is going to read this and not immediately grasp what is meant by “with adjustable vocals and real-time lyrics”. Obviously you can already sing along, and the question about how this makes it better is answered within the same sentence.

I'd imagine/hope that it's also supported on the previous generation, just that they'd rather advertise its usage on the new one. Edit: per the bottom of the page... > Apple Music Sing will be available on all compatible iPhone and iPad models as well as the new Apple TV 4K. :/ maybe they do ML to process stuff on-device, per other comments' speculation, that justifies requiring the newer model?
In addition, the Apple TV is plugged in, it doesn't have to limit its power for battery reasons.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

What’s the reasoning behind leaving out the word “karaoke”?
Another thing is that when you sing a foreign song, the karaoke also means to read the foreign subtitles in your own language. It's an extra meaning they might want to avoid, I assume this is not a feature they have.
