Getting Started with Arlet

Install Arlet on Windows, sign in with your Apple ID, and start playing your Apple Music library.

Install Arlet

Download the installer from rosie.run/arlet/downloads:

  • Windows x64 for most PCs.
  • Windows arm64 for Snapdragon and other Arm-based PCs.

Run the installer. Arlet installs for your user account only, so it does not need administrator rights.

System Requirements

  • Windows: Windows 10 version 22H2 (build 19045) or newer, or Windows 11. The installer stops on older versions.
  • Apple Music: An Apple Music subscription for full-length playback.

Sign in

  1. Open Arlet and select Sign in.
  2. In the Apple window that opens, sign in with the Apple ID that has your Apple Music subscription.
  3. When the window closes, the status at the top left shows Connected.

Arlet remembers your sign-in. Use Settings > Account > Sign out to sign out; that also clears the cached library and your pinned playlists on this PC.

Find your music

  • Home: recently played playlists, heavy rotation, and recommendations.
  • Browse and Radio: Apple Music charts and radio stations.
  • Search (Ctrl+K): search the Apple Music catalog, or switch to Your Library.
  • Library: recently added, recently played, artists, albums, songs, and playlists with folders.

Right-click a song or use its More actions button to play it next, add it to the queue, or add it to a playlist. Pin playlists to keep them in the sidebar.

Playback controls

Use the player bar at the bottom for play, pause, seek, shuffle, repeat, volume, and the queue. Arlet also works with your keyboard’s media keys and the Windows media overlay.

Appearance

Open Settings > Appearance to choose a light, dark, or system theme and a Mica, Acrylic, or solid window. Arlet remembers its window size and position between launches.

Updates

Arlet checks for updates when it starts. A new version downloads in the background, and Arlet asks you to restart when it is ready. Turn the startup check off, check now, or pick the stable or beta channel in Settings > Updates.

Reset settings

Settings > Reset restores the default theme, window, volume, and update settings, then restarts Arlet. You stay signed in, and your pinned playlists and library are kept.
