Apple Music Launches on Amazon Fire TV: How to Stream on Your Big Screen

Good news for Apple Music members who own an Amazon Fire TV: the music streaming service and media streaming devices now work well together.

Apple Music is now available on Fire TV devices in the United States, three months after it was first released on Amazon Echo smart speakers. To set it up, go to the Alexa app and enable the Apple Music skill. Link your accounts. If you have already enabled the Apple Music ability for usage with an Echo device, you can begin listening immediately without having to repeat the setup process.

From there, you can ask the virtual assistant to play whatever you want on Apple Music with commands like “Alexa, play today’s hits on Apple Music” or “Alexa, play music by Bebe Rexha on Apple Music.”

If you live in the United Kingdom, don’t feel excluded. Amazon claims that Apple Music will be accessible on Fire TV and Echo devices “in the coming weeks.”

Apple Music, which now has 50 million songs, received a “excellent” rating from PCMag’s review. We like its large music catalog, exclusive content, offline listening mode, Siri and Apple Watch integration, and other features.

“Apple Music’s many features make this service a strong contender in its category, one that challenges our Editors’ Choices, Slacker Radio and Spotify,” we wrote.

Meanwhile, numerous Amazon Fire TVs received our coveted Editors’ Choice recommendation, including the Fire TV Cube ($119.99 at Amazon), Fire TV Stick 4K ($49.99 at Amazon), and the low-cost Fire TV Stick with Alexa Voice Remote.
