Clementine Music Player als Linux-Alternative zu Apple Music

Aktualisiert am 29. Oktober 2026

Unser Fazit

Clementine can replace Apple Music for users who mainly want a local music player with internet‑radio support and basic cloud storage integration. It handles local files, playlists, and offers a decent set of visualisations and tag editing tools. However, it does not provide Apple Music's subscription streaming catalogue, iCloud library sync, or the integrated radio/podcast experience that Apple Music users expect. If you are comfortable using a separate service for Apple Music streaming or don't need that catalog, Clementine is a solid free, open‑source choice.

Ihre Apple Music-Dateien öffnen

Clementine can open any standard audio file (MP3, OGG, FLAC, AAC, etc.) that you might have downloaded from Apple Music, but it cannot play files protected by Apple’s DRM. Exporting Apple Music playlists is possible by exporting them to a common format (e.g., M3U) from the Apple client and then importing that file into Clementine.

Häufige Fragen

Can Clementine play songs from my Apple Music subscription?

No. Clementine does not support Apple Music’s streaming service or its DRM‑protected tracks.

Will my existing playlists transfer automatically?

Export them from the Apple client as M3U/XSPF and import those files into Clementine; the track order will be preserved.

Is there a way to listen to Apple‑hosted radio or podcasts in Clementine?

Clementine can discover and play many public internet radio streams and podcasts, but it cannot access Apple‑specific radio stations or the Apple Podcasts catalogue.
