The days of manually dragging songs into a folder are over. In 2026, Apple and OpenAI have fully integrated, allowing ChatGPT to act as your personal DJ. Whether you want a "90s Lagos Afrobeat vibe" or "songs that sound like a rainy Tuesday," here is how to automate your music life
Setting Up the Connection
To use this, you need the ChatGPT app (iOS or Mac) and an active Apple Music subscription.
Open ChatGPT and go to Settings > Extensions.
Toggle on the Apple Music Extension.
Follow the prompt to "Allow Access" to your music library.
The Power of Natural Language Prompts
You no longer need to know the artist's name. You can prompt ChatGPT like this:
"Create a 20-song playlist of high-energy Afrobeats for a gym session, but skip anything released before 2024."
"I’m hosting a dinner party. Make a playlist that sounds like soft jazz mixed with acoustic guitar."
"Find that song from the 2025 'Lagos Nights' movie and build a 10-song playlist around its vibe."
Saving to Your Library
Once ChatGPT generates the list, you will see a button that says "Create Playlist in Apple Music." Tap it, and the playlist appears instantly in your Music app, complete with a custom AI-generated cover art.
Tech Hack: You can even use Onomatopoeia. Tell ChatGPT: "I want a song that goes 'duuuum duuuum duuuuuuuuum' from that famous space movie," and it will identify the track and build a playlist of similar cinematic scores.
