How to Find Dr. Dre’s Compton on iPhone & iTunes is a post by Adam Mills from Gotta Be Mobile.

Dr. Dre’s last studio album is out but you can only listen to it on Apple Music. And even, then, it’s difficult to find. Here, we want to show you how to find Dr Dre’s Compton and how to listen to it for free right now.

After years and years of rumors and speculation, Dr. Dre is back though it’s not with the album that many people were expecting.

Instead of Dr. Dre’s Detox, the acclaimed rapper and producer has released an album called “Compton,” a compilation album that features big names like Eminem, Ice Cube, The Game, and Xzibit.

On August 1st, Dr. Dre announced that he would be releasing his brand new album exclusively on iTunes and Apple Music. The move is sure to frustrate users on other platforms but it makes a whole lot of sense: Dr. Dre is an Apple employee.

Earlier today, Dr. Dre and Apple released Compton on iTunes and Apple Music and iOS and Mac users with the proper software installed can now listen to the album, for free, for a few hours. Unfortunately, Apple Music and iTunes don’t make it easy to find.

How to Find Dr. Dre’s Compton on iTunes

Dr. Dre’s Compton will be streaming through iTunes the Apple Music application for a limited time. For the next three hours (6PM-9PM PST), you can stream the album and all 16 of its tracks on your Mac, iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch if you know where to look.

On Mac, you’ll need to download the latest version of iTunes. If you don’t want to download the latest version of iTunes, you’ll at least need iTunes 11.1 so that you can access the Radio feature. The album is streaming over iTunes Radio.

Once you’ve installed the correct version of iTunes, you’ll want to follow this link. This will bring up a page in your browser. It should bring you to a screen that features a bright blue button that reads Listen in iTunes. It looks like the screenshot below.

Click that button and it will open up iTunes and Dr. Dre’s Compton and its track list should start playing in your iTunes music player.

You’ll be able to skip around songs for three hours but once that three hours are up, the streaming will end. So, have it.

How to Find Dr. Dre’s Compton on iPhone

If you want to listen to Dr. Dre’s Compton on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, you’ll need to have Apple’s iOS 7 update installed so that you can access iTunes Radio. We recommend downloading the company’s iOS 8.4 update which includes the new Apple Music application.

Once you’re there, you’ll want to click on the “New” tab that’s located in the navigation bar on the bottom of the application. You can see it in the screenshot above.

Once you click New, you should see a huge splash image for Dr. Dre’s album premiere. All you have to do is click Listen Now and it will fire up the album on your device.
