Guide for streaming Apple Music on Amazon Fire TV
Ready to jam out with Apple Music on your Amazon Fire TV? Here's a quick guide that's sure to rock your world!
First, Apple Music is the music streaming service from tech giant Apple, designed to work marvelously on devices like the iPhone and iPad. But, if you already have Amazon's Prime Video cranking tunes through your Fire TV, you might wonder whether Apple Music can play nice.
Don't worry, it can—sorta! Apple Music isn't natively supported on Fire TV, but you can access it via the Apple Music Alexa Skill, just as you'd groove to Apple Music on an Amazon Echo speaker.
Here's all you need to do:
- Visit the Apple TV Alexa Skill in a browser or the Alexa app.
- Click the "Enable" button to make it work its magic.
- Sign in to your Apple Music account with your Apple ID.
- Grant the Access Request for a harmonious partnership between Alexa and Apple Music.
- (Optional) You can select Apple Music as your default music provider for Alexa, making things even smoother.
- Grab your Fire TV remote, hit the mic button, and tell Fire TV to "Play Apple Music."
Now, to get the most out of this stellar pairing:
- Open a browser or the Alexa app, and head to the Apple Music Alexa Skill in the Alexa Skills store.
- Sign in to Apple Music (not Amazon!), and enter your Apple ID details.
- Allow the Access Request to unite Alexa and Apple Music.
- Ta-da! You're all set to rock out on your Fire TV.
Now, to test it, grab your Amazon Fire TV remote, tap the voice button, and enjoy the sweet sounds of Apple Music.
