Nintendo Music expands to browsers, tablets and car audio with new tracks
Nintendo Music jumped from a phone-first extra to a service you can use on browsers, tablets, and in the car, with Mario Kart World joining the library.
Nintendo Music stopped feeling like a phone-only side app on June 2. With one update, Nintendo opened the soundtrack service to web browsers on PC and Mac, tablets through a dedicated interface, and car audio through Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, giving subscribers new places to use the library beyond the screen in their pocket.
That shift matters because the service is no longer locked to a single kind of session. On a computer, Nintendo says users can listen to, browse, and organize playlists in the web version, and even preview the library without a Nintendo Switch Online membership. Nintendo also says the browser catalog now covers more than 250 hours of music across more than 130 titles, which turns the service into something more substantial than a novelty tucked inside a subscription.
The tablet rollout pushes that idea further. Nintendo said the iPad and tablet version works in both horizontal and vertical orientation, while the car modes add voice-command playback for use on the road. My Mix is also part of the update, and Nintendo says it works on phones, tablets, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto, giving the service a more personal angle wherever it is opened.
The new access options arrived alongside new music. Nintendo added 130 tracks from Mario Kart World, bringing that soundtrack to 4 hours and 13 minutes, though the company said Free Roam tracks will come in a future update. The broader Nintendo Music service also keeps its other quality-of-life tools, including playlist recommendations based on Switch play history, a spoiler-hiding option for unfinished games, My Mix, and track extensions for certain songs.
Nintendo still keeps the service behind Nintendo Switch Online, but the free trial makes the door easier to test: Nintendo says members can try Nintendo Switch Online with a 7-day free trial. That combination of wider access and a bigger library changes the shape of Nintendo Music in a practical way. It is no longer just a soundtrack app on a phone. It is now something a player can pull up at a desk, on an iPad, or in the car, and keep listening without waiting to get back to a Switch.
