Yes, you can gift a song on iTunes, making it a thoughtful way to share a track you love with a friend or family member. However, Apple has specific guidelines on how you can do this depending on the device you are using, as well as a few rules you’ll want to keep in mind.
This guide breaks down everything you need to know about gifting a song on iTunes, including step-by-step instructions and important troubleshooting tips.
The Catch: Device Requirements for Gifting Songs
Before you start shopping, note an important restriction from Apple: You cannot gift individual songs directly from an iPhone or iPad. If you try to gift music from a mobile iOS device, Apple’s interface generally only gives you the option to gift entire albums.
To gift a single song, you must use a computer:
- A Mac using the Apple Music app (accessing the iTunes Store)
- A Windows PC using the Apple Music app or iTunes for Windows
