Apple Music: "Continue Listening on a Different Device"

Is there a way that you can start listening to music on your phone and then if you wanted to change devices to continue listening to that song / playlist on a different device such as your laptop? I know other music streaming services have features similar to this but is there a way to do it with Apple Music?

MacBook Pro (M1, 2020)

Hello m_phillips,


While there may not be a way to transfer the current song/playlist from the iPhone to a Mac, you may explore using AirPlay to play the content through the Mac. This page can help out with providing information on streaming the audio: Wirelessly stream video, photos, and audio from your iPhone to a Mac - Apple Support


Play audio from iPhone on Mac
1. On your iPhone, open an audio app, such as Podcasts  or Music , then choose an item to play.
2. Tap the Playback Destination button, then choose a playback destination.
3. The playback controls for a podcast, including the Playback Destination button at the bottom of the screen.
To select the playback destination, you can also tap the Playback Destination button on the Lock Screen or in Control Center.

Note: AirPlay to Mac is available on MacBook Pro (2018 and later), MacBook Air (2018 and later), iMac (2019 and later), iMac Pro (2017), Mac mini (2020 and later), and Mac Pro (2019) and works with iPhone 7 and later. Older models may share content at a lower resolution to supported Mac models when “Allow AirPlay for” is set to “Everyone” or “Anyone on the same network” in Sharing preferences on Mac.
