For starters, a link to a tumblr that has almost all of the franchise’s music on it

MAIN WORLD 765:

• Watch the anime and movie. also the Shiny Festa OVAs are very easily found
  
• Read some of the following manga if you want, just note that they aren’t really connected and most are alternate universes (most of these can be found by googling them with “read online”)
• relations if youre a miki fan
• THE iDOLM@STER BREAK! if you like harem stuff
• please for the love of god read and watch Puchimas
• THE iDOLM@STER 2: The World Is All One is easily one of my favorites, it has a great producer and it focuses on Haruka, Hibiki, and Yukiho in a unit called SprouT
• Nemuri Hime for the chihaya fans, its a nice short one.
• Colorful Days focuses on EVERY girl.
• You could also watch Xenoglossia but I recommend watching it like it’s just the idol’s doing some sort of acting job, due to it’s different voice actors, out of character personalities, and the fact that it’s a mecha show. Just watch it for fun.
• THE iDOLM@STER which is a manga adaption of the anime
• The SP games have a good amount of translations to them, and can be played on PC with a PSP emulator. Fully translated routes are Haruka, Makoto, Yayoi, Chihaya, Iori, and Yukiho. Ritsuko, Azusa, and Ami/Mami only have a few, not enough to understand past the beginning though.

Dearly Stars:

• Read Splash Red for Ai
• Read Neue Green for Ryo
• Read Innocent Blue for Eri
• The game itself kind of works on DS emulators with a lot of graphic glitches, but its kind of really REALLY hard to play without knowing Japanese. 
• Trust me when i say PLEASE READ THESE 3, Dearly Stars bombed really hard but it’s characters are very VERY interesting and developed.

Cinderella Girls:

• Translations of the CG Theaters from the game
• The New Generations manga for those who like those 3
• Ensemble! focuses is a comedy slice of life 4koma
• Cool Anthology for all the cool type fans.
