And that's all there is to it! The Songs section essentially functions akin to a substantial playlist, housing your entire collection from Apple Music.

On macOS, the most reliable way to see your total song count is to enable the Status Bar in the Music app:

Step 1: Open the Music app on your Mac.
Step 2: In the sidebar, choose Library > Songs.
Step 3: From the menu bar, click View > Show Status Bar.
Step 4: Look at the bottom of the window (Status Bar). It will display the total number of items in the current view (your song count).
 

Check Song Count on Windows PC

On Windows, your steps depend on which Apple app you’re using:

Option 1: Apple Music app (recommended for music on Windows 10/11)

• Step 1: Open the Apple Music app and go to Library > Songs.
• Step 2: Check the bottom area of the songs list for an item count. If you don’t see a clear total, use the playlist method below.

Option 2: iTunes (still used by many people for podcasts/audiobooks)

• Step 1: Open iTunes and go to Music > Songs.
• Step 2: Click View > Show Status Bar.
• Step 3: The Status Bar at the bottom shows the total number of songs in the current view.

Pro Tips for Managing a Large Apple Music Library

Once you pass the 10,000 song threshold, your Apple Music collection can start to feel a bit unwieldy. Here are some tips for keeping all those tunes organized and under control:

• Use Playlists

The key is to avoid just letting everything pile up in one long list of songs. Take the time to sort songs into customized playlists based on mood, genre, activity, decade - whatever makes sense for you. This also makes it easier to shuffle play ready-made clusters of music.

• Delete Songs You Don't Listen To

Every so often, scan through your most recent songs and delete any you don't see yourself listening to again. Don't feel like you need to keep everything just because it's part of your Apple Music subscription. Delete liberally!

• Download Playlists for Offline Listening

Offline downloads are great for travel or low-data situations, but limits can apply. Apple’s cloud library (iCloud Music Library / Sync Library) can keep up to 100,000 songs available in the cloud (not including iTunes Store purchases). Offline downloads on each device depend on storage space and current platform rules.

• Use Library Filtering

Take advantage of library filtering tools to zero in on exactly the songs you want instead of sifting through everything. Filter by genre, artist, release year, love/dislike, etc.

• Let Siri Help Manage Music

Ask Siri to play specific artists, songs, playlists, or even entire genres or eras like "Play 80s pop". No need to manually browse for music if you know what you want to hear.

• Sync Library Between Devices

To keep your Apple Music library consistent across devices, turn on Sync Library (Apple’s current name for iCloud Music Library). On iPhone/iPad: Settings > Music > Sync Library. Once enabled on all devices signed in to the same Apple Account, your library and playlists stay in sync.

Wrap Up

After following the steps outlined above, you now know exactly how many songs are in your personal Apple Music universe.

Even though having access to millions of songs is exciting, be sure not to let your music library become unmanageable.

Using playlists, deleting stale songs, downloading for offline listening, and leveraging Siri will keep your collection cleanly organized.
