I'm trying to create an Apple account on my Windows machine to see if Apple Music is really any better than Spotify. I went through the steps to sign up and made my first account, but I keep getting an unknown error after entering the second verification code. I've tried using different browsers on my Windows PC and even my Android phone, but nothing seems to work. The Apple Music web app suggests that I should update my account either through an iPhone (which I don't have) or by going to apple.accounts, but that doesn't work either. Has anyone faced a similar issue and can offer some help?

There's actually nothing wrong with creating an Apple account on Windows! That's kind of an outdated idea. Try going directly to the Apple account management website (https://account.apple.com) and see if you can log in without any issues there. If that works, you might just need to try signing in again on your Windows machine afterwards.
You might want to reach out to Apple Support. It can get tricky creating accounts on non-Apple devices, and they might have specific solutions for your situation. It's worth a shot!
Yeah, I guess that’s the only option left. If even Reddit suggests contacting support, I might be out of luck.
I tried that website originally, but it didn’t work either. The Apple Music app pushed me to it.
